Project 2025 is more than just the "Mandate for Leadership" playbook. It's also a comprehensive, searchable personnel database of all the most extreme right-wing fascist ghouls who are totally on board with all the stuff in Mandate for Leadership who they will cram into the judiciary at all levels, every agency they don't destroy, and all other appointed gov't positions. It took a lot of work and required people to build and maintain it. It didn't happen in 2017 because it didn't exist yet.
Trump doesn't have to be the one to implement it. It could be any Republican politician. Once it is implemented, executive power will be expanded massively, the courts will be fully captured, all important gov't agencies will be under direct executive branch control, etc, etc. Full fascist state in 180 days.
Unless the Democrats basically ban the GOP from existing by purging them from political life, then Project $Year is inevitable because as you said, it could be any Republican politician. Or do you expect the Democrats to continuously control the White House?
Yep, that is the primary issue. Without making it impossible for the republicans to gain the presidency again, it will happen eventually.
