Project 2025's Guide to Subverting Democracy

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

68% : Sinclair already reaches 40 percent of American households via more than 180 stations, and when the group's chair, David Smith, met with Trump in 2016, he said, "We are here to deliver your message.
53% : A chapter on public broadcasting proposes to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting as part of a larger plan to upend NPR, PBS, and "other public broadcasters that benefit from CPB funding, including the even-further-to-the Left Pacifica Radio and American Public Media."
50% : Trump, who famously demanded that the results of Georgia's 2020 presidential voting be "recalculated" to give him a win, wants the trappings of democracy without the reality of electoral consequences.
49% : As the spending by outside groups on elections "has exponentially increased, foreign nationals and governments have willfully manipulated our elections, and coordination between super PACs and candidates has become commonplace," the former employees noted.
32% : Mandate's chapter on the FEC rejects that reform, arguing that Trump and a Republican Congress must resist "efforts to impose a 'nonpartisan' or so-called 'independent' chair."
26% : But Trump and his allies are too smart to go full Kim Jong Un.
25% : Donald Trump has made no secret of his determination to govern as a "dictator" if he regains the presidency, and that's got his critics warning that his reelection would spell the end of democracy.
25% : In Mandate's chapter on the Department of Justice, Gene P. Hamilton, a DOJ appointee under Trump, proposes reassigning responsibility for prosecuting election-related offenses from the department's Civil Rights Division to its Criminal Division.
22% : This infuriated Trump, who immediately fired the nation's top election security official.
18% : Think back to November 2020, when Trump was developing his Big Lie about the election he'd just lost.
