Do some elites or movements support depopulation — quietly or not?

Yes, in the shadows of policy — though rarely called that:

  • Through environmental Malthusianism: “Too many people, not enough resources.”

  • Through selective policy neglect: Cutting public health programs or social safety nets knowing full well which populations will suffer.

  • Through experimentation: Historically, there’s a dark record — from Tuskegee to forced sterilizations — where “health” was used to justify control or reduction.

RFK Jr.’s rhetoric around detoxing children, rejecting vaccines, and elevating “natural immunity” taps into those old, unscientific veins — and when implemented from a position of power, they do carry population-level consequences.

It’s not always a Bond villain with a red button — sometimes it’s slow, ideological erosion of protections that keeps the vulnerable… vulnerable.

What I am interested in is project 2025, key points and what Trump has done thats aligns with the project.

ChatGPT said:

Project 2025 is a comprehensive plan developed by the Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank, to reshape the U.S. federal government if a Republican—likely Donald Trump—returns to power in 2025. It’s officially called “Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise.” The project is a 900+ page policy and staffing blueprint aiming to overhaul the federal bureaucracy, expand presidential power, and implement far-right conservative policy across all agencies.

Key Points of Project 2025

  1. Presidential Power Expansion

    • Dismantle the “administrative state” (career civil servants) and replace them with loyal political appointees.

    • Use the Schedule F executive order (briefly enacted by Trump in 2020) to reclassify tens of thousands of federal workers and fire those deemed disloyal.

  2. Departmental Overhauls

    • Eliminate or consolidate federal agencies viewed as obstacles to conservative goals (e.g., Department of Education, Department of Energy).

    • Replace leadership and staff at agencies like the FBI, DOJ, IRS, CDC with political loyalists.

  3. Rollbacks of Social Programs and Regulations

    • Roll back climate initiatives, LGBTQ+ protections, DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) programs.

    • Reverse clean energy policies and environmental protections.

    • Privatize social safety net programs and reduce federal oversight.

  4. Immigration Crackdown

    • Mass deportations using expanded military powers.

    • Restore and expand the travel ban and public charge rule.

    • Push for ending birthright citizenship through executive action or reinterpretation of the 14th Amendment.

  5. Education

    • Ban “critical race theory” and DEI from public education.

    • Promote school choice, religious schooling, and parental control over curriculum.

  6. Culture War Agenda

    • Advance anti-abortion policies (including national restrictions).

    • Use federal agencies to promote “biblical” values.

    • Restrict rights of transgender individuals.

  7. Foreign Policy Shift

    • Dismantle globalist institutions and alliances.

    • Favor unilateral military action and protectionist trade policies.

  8. Law and Order

    • Expand policing and surveillance powers.

    • Curtail protest rights and restrict civil liberties in the name of “order.”

  9. Media & Censorship

    • Investigate and potentially prosecute journalists or tech platforms accused of “bias.”

    • Defund or dismantle public media (like NPR, PBS).

How Trump Already Aligns with or Has Acted on Project 2025 Goals

  1. Schedule F (Civil Service Purge Tool)

    • Trump signed this executive order in October 2020. Though it was never widely implemented before Biden rescinded it, Trump has promised to revive it on Day One of a second term—Project 2025 heavily relies on it.

  2. Loyalty-Driven Appointments

    • Trump has already shown preference for personal loyalty over qualifications—Project 2025 calls for a “deep bench” of vetted loyalists ready to take over federal positions.

  3. Agency Overhauls

    • Trump previously tried to slash the budgets or eliminate agencies like the EPA, NEA, and even the Department of Education. These goals are reiterated in Project 2025.

  4. Immigration

    • He implemented family separations, “Remain in Mexico,” and tried to end DACA. Project 2025 recommends going further, including using the military for mass deportations.

  5. Anti-DEI & Anti-Trans Policies

    • Trump banned diversity training in federal agencies and military.

    • Project 2025 would expand these efforts system-wide and implement national restrictions on transgender healthcare and visibility.

  6. Abortion

    • Trump appointed the Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade. Project 2025 advocates using the Comstock Act (an 1800s anti-obscenity law) to ban abortion pills nationwide.

  7. Climate and Energy

    • Trump withdrew from the Paris Agreement, slashed EPA regulations.

    • Project 2025 calls for ending all “green energy” subsidies and fast-tracking oil and gas drilling.

  8. Election Law and DOJ Interference

    • Trump repeatedly pressured DOJ to support false election claims; Project 2025 wants to remove independence from DOJ and make the Attorney General fully answerable to the President.

  9. Christian Nationalism

    • Project 2025 openly aligns with Christian nationalist language. Trump has embraced this in speeches, portraying himself as a protector of Christian values against secular liberalism.

Why This Matters

Project 2025 is not just a policy document—it’s a staffing and execution plan for a second Trump term. It represents the culmination of efforts to institutionalize authoritarian tendencies, weaken checks and balances, and reorient federal power toward a hard-right ideological agenda. Trump has endorsed its ideas indirectly through campaign promises, and many of his allies are directly involved in the project’s creation.🇺🇸 Trump vs. Project 2025: Policy Comparison Chart

Issue Area Trump 2016–2020 Project 2025 (Heritage Plan) Trump 2025 Campaign Promises
Federal Workforce Tried to “drain the swamp,” fired Comey, but most bureaucracies remained intact Replace 50,000+ civil servants with loyalists via Schedule F Reinstate Schedule F, purge “Deep State” on Day One
DOJ & FBI Pressured DOJ to investigate enemies; fired AGs Place DOJ under direct White House control Pledge to prosecute political opponents
Civil Liberties Banned DEI trainings, proposed protest crackdowns Expand surveillance, restrict protests, remove agency independence Restore “law & order,” crack down on “radical left” groups
Climate Policy Left Paris Agreement, deregulated emissions Eliminate EPA powers, end green energy programs “Drill baby drill,” withdraw climate funding
Abortion Appointed justices who overturned Roe v. Wade Use Comstock Act to ban abortion pills nationwide Open to national restrictions, vows to punish “blue states”
LGBTQ+ Rights Banned trans military service, cut protections Erase federal recognition of trans people, ban gender care Reverse Biden-era LGBTQ+ protections
Immigration Family separation, travel ban, built parts of wall Use military to carry out mass deportations Deport millions, end birthright citizenship
Education Pushed school choice, downplayed CRT fears Eliminate Dept. of Ed, ban CRT & DEI, increase parental control Promote Christian curriculum, cut “woke indoctrination”
Media & Free Press Called press “enemy of the people,” revoked CNN credentials Investigate journalists, defund public media Threatens major media outlets with legal action
Foreign Policy “America First,” left global treaties, embraced autocrats Gut international alliances, increase military autonomy Leave NATO if not “paid up,” realign with strongmen
Military Use Used military for Lafayette Square photo-op Use military for domestic law enforcement & immigration Send military into blue cities for “crime cleanup”
Christian Nationalism Courted evangelicals, referenced “God” often Promote biblical values via federal policy Declares fight is “between good and evil”
Elections & Voting Claimed 2020 was rigged, tried to overturn results Reduce federal oversight, allow state purges of rolls Vows to end mail-in ballots, restrict early voting
Agency Control Tried but failed to shrink government Consolidate/dismantle agencies, remove independent commissions Staff entire government with loyalists only

Summary of the Evolution

  • 2016–2020: Trump disrupted norms, tested legal limits, but was often restrained by courts, staff, and institutions.

  • Project 2025: Turns Trumpism into a systematic roadmap with legal and staffing tools to prevent resistance next time.

  • Trump 2025 Promises: Closely follow Project 2025—his campaign adopts many ideas almost verbatim but adds rhetoric promising vengeance and retribution.

Popular vote vs electoral college Popular vote vs electoral college

Electorial College or Popular Vote

On - Commentary, Politics, purple

Public Opinion (2023–2024 polls):
~60% to 65% of Americans support deciding presidential elections by popular vote.

~35% to 40% prefer keeping the Electoral College.

Source: Pew Research, Gallup, Axios/Ipsos, and others.

Partisan Divide:
Democrats: Around 80% favor the popular vote.

Republicans: Around 60–65% prefer the Electoral College.

Independents: Lean toward popular vote, but less strongly (~55–60%).

This split has grown since 2000 and 2016 — both years where Republicans won the presidency while losing the national popular vote.

Why People Support Popular Vote:
Simpler and more democratic: each vote counts equally.

Avoids “swing state” bias — candidates currently focus on a handful of battlegrounds.

Prevents outcomes where the Electoral College winner loses the popular vote.

Why People Defend the Electoral College:
It protects smaller states from being ignored by big population centers.

It forces candidates to build broader coalitions across regions.

It’s part of the federalist structure — states choose electors, not individuals directly.

Compromise in the Works?
Yes — the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) is a workaround gaining traction:

States agree to give their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote — once enough states join to reach 270 electoral votes.

So far, 17 states + D.C. have joined (totaling 205 electoral votes as of 2025).

Summary:
Most Americans support a national popular vote.

But political self-interest and structural inertia keep the Electoral College firmly in place — for now.

The path forward may come through the NPVIC, not a constitutional amendment.

Popular vote vs electoral college

Here’s the chart showing support for the Popular Vote vs. Electoral College across major political groups. As you can see:

  • Democrats overwhelmingly favor the popular vote.

  • Republicans strongly prefer the Electoral College.

  • Independents lean toward the popular vote but are more divided.

  • Overall, most Americans favor switching to a popular vote system.
