The cartoon is blunt, almost painfully so. Donald Trump sits at a desk with a stamp bearing his face, slamming it down on blocks labeled Attorney General, DHS Secretary, Defense Secretary, and National Security Advisor. Above him, in bold, the words: Project 2025.
The message isn’t exactly subtle. It’s the kind of cartoon that smacks you over the head with its point, not because it’s too heavy-handed, but because the reality it’s depicting is just that stark. The imagery suggests consolidation—not just of power, but of identity. Everything stamped with the Trump brand. Every critical role in government, pressed with the same ironclad ideology. The seal of loyalty.
It’s like watching a brand expansion rather than a government being built. Think less ‘We the People’ and more ‘We the Brand.’ Project 2025 doesn’t even pretend to hide the agenda; it’s plastered right there in the open. The idea that each role—Attorney General, DHS Secretary, Defense Secretary, National Security Advisor—would not just be loyal to a policy or a platform, but loyal to a man.
It’s authoritarianism with a marketing plan.
If the cartoon is to be believed, Trump’s vision for 2025 is a slate wiped clean of dissent. It’s a series of rubber stamps where independent judgment is swapped for brand uniformity. A terrifying efficiency in governance where the only question that matters is: “Will this serve the boss?”
The implications of this are pretty clear. If every major security and justice position is handpicked and rubber-stamped, what checks remain? What balances are left when the only qualification is fealty?
Project 2025 isn’t just a slogan. It’s a blueprint. A plan to stamp out any last vestiges of resistance within the highest offices of American power. And that’s what makes the cartoon so chillingly effective. It’s not far-fetched; it’s a warning. One that’s been stamped, signed, and delivered.
