A coalition of conservative groups is preparing for a chance to shape the country's next set of census results in case a Republican president returns to the White House in 2025.
Their playbook includes reviving a failed push for a citizenship question and other Trump-era moves that threaten the accuracy of the 2030 national head count.
The plan also calls for aligning the mission of the government agency in charge of the next tally of the country's residents with "conservative principles." Many census watchers, including a former top Trump administration official, tell NPR they find this position particularly alarming.
The policy proposals — led by The Heritage Foundation, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank — are part of a broader "Project 2025" plan for dismantling aspects of the U.S. government. "For too long, conservative presidents' agendas have been stymied by liberal bureaucrats who put their own agenda over that of the President, whom they serve," Paul Dans, a former Trump appointee who is Project 2025's director, claims in a statement.

This almost widespread hysterical American obsession with Trump borders on the pathological. Trump does not need to demonized by humanistic liberals and egalitarian democrats. He represents all that is undesirable in a Presidential candidate and has managed to demonize himself by his authoritarian disposition and autocratic demagoguery with his arms all akimbo like a Hitlerian dictator blustering at the mouth and his repetitive hypersonic antagonism to anything that embodies the principles of the Constitution. In retrospect did we serve in Vietnam to preserve the existence of this swastika bearing billionaire? SP4 Benjamin
