I haven't heard of this one before. But the entire thing is an evil villains wet dream.
In addition to expanding government leaders' abilities to hire and fire at will, Project 2025 calls for a new federal database to gather information on potential new hires. The database contains people's answers to questions on social issues, such as abortion and immigration, allowing for department leaders to easily fill job vacancies with applicants who lean conservative.
- John Oliver detailed all of this several months ago. It all seems terrifying, if they end up actually being to execute the strategy.
  
  if they end up actually being to execute the strategy.
  What could possibly stop them? With control of the house, senate, supreme court and white house, are there any checks against this sort of extremism? Genuinely asking.
- Republicans are the only ones who will care about this database. Tell them whatever they want to hear, then Ron Swanson that cushy job hard.
  
  Except, being at-will means it’s no longer really very cushy.
You mean Destroy-America.
The fact that the House and Senate are all Republican control, will make this a lot easier.
- And the Supreme Court.
- This is what the majority of Americans wanted
  
  The majority of the ~40% of eligible voters that actually participated.
  That fact always shocks me. People have an invaluable right and don't use it.
