Hellscape Christian Nationalist plan to be enacted if Trump's wins in 2024. Backed by the right-wing extremist Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 is an authoritarian Christian nationalist movement with 900+ pages of detailed plans to turn America into an autocracy. Legal experts state clearly that it would undermine the rule of law and the separation of powers - and the Heritage Foundation, Trump, and their ilk have no problem with that because this is precisely what they want to accomplish.
