Comic Creators Explain Project 2025 in Graphic Form

By Michael Woyton

By now, with less than three weeks until the last day you can cast your ballot in the November general election, I hope you have heard of and tried to familiarize yourself with the 900-page Republican plan called “Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise,” otherwise known as Project 2025.

Prepared by The Heritage Foundation, an ultra-conservative think tank, and written by many staffers of former President Donald Trump, it is nothing less than a roadmap for Trump or vice presidential candidate JD Vance to clean out Washington, D.C, of any dissenting voices and usher in an authoritarian government modeled after dictatorships.

But don’t take my word for it.

According to USA Today, Project 2025’s site states, “If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on day one of the next conservative administration.”

Among the tenets of the plan are reclassifying as many as 50,000 federal civil servants to political appointees, dismantling the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Education, eliminating the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and getting rid of the Head Start program.

To get more information out about Project 2025 and how it could affect Americans should Trump or Vance take over in January, comic creators gathered their forces to explain the radical plan that Project 2025 really is — but in comic form.

Stop Project 2025 is a collection of online comic strips that were created to “decode and explain what’s actually in the monolithic agenda”, according to Graeme McMillan of Popverse.

The comics feature 15 strips, with more to come, created by such artists as Jeff Parker, Steve Lieber, Matt Fraction, Gene Ha, Greg Pak, Zoe Tunnell and Cheryl Lynn Eaton.

In a statement provided to Popverse, the creators said they wanted “to stand up and shine a light on something we feel is a major problem — attempting to usurp our fundamental rights.”

They called Project 2025 a “terrifying blueprint of what the far right is trying to perpetrate against the freedoms of the people of the United States.”

On the Stop Project 2025 website, one can not only read the comics but also find information about registering to vote. The comics are also available to download as a PDF.

The creators explain on the website that the comics, hopefully, will explain the Project 2025 agenda, but also move readers to vote against it.

“We did this because you shouldn’t have to read this monstrosity. After all, it’s more than fifty times as long as the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution … combined,” they wrote, adding, “Project 2025 is longer because it’s a detailed plan to shut you up, and shut you out.”

The sections of Project 2025 that are graphically explained include anti-trans discrimination, authoritarianism, children, Christian nationalism, climate, education, the EPA, health care, immigration, internet freedom, police abuse and teachers. And the artists use footnotes to show they aren’t making up their points.

Here is a sample from the Children section:

Here is a sample from the Education section:

I really had a tough time selecting examples to illustrate what the creators did. It was overwhelmingly bleak, but it is extremely important to find out just what could be in store for the U.S. if Trump or Vance assume power.

And with Trump’s mental acuity under more scrutiny, there is a good chance that Vance could assume the office before we know it.
