I can agree with you that the Project 2025 philosophy is misguided but I can also assure you that it has little to do with my distrust of the US government. I think the biggest factor is the trend toward valuing "safety" above all else and at any cost to our citizens. This has been going on for decades and a quest like this is also an authoritarian one. I agree with your general thesis though that it is not thought through and ultimately destroys our mutual trust.
