Looks to me Trump is Following Project 2025 to the letter. Remember when he said he never heard of it. That was obviously a lie.
This is their agenda so far and it seems Trump is just going along with it and so are Republicans. The plan includes firing federal employees that oppose or insufficiently support right-wing policies, ending access to abortion and contraception, and eliminating protections for LGBTQ people. The document even calls for erasing LGBTQ-inclusive language throughout federal agencies such as “the terms sexual orientation and gender identity (“SOGI”), diversity, equity, and inclusion, gender, gender equality, gender equity, gender awareness, gender-sensitive, abortion, reproductive health, reproductive rights.”
And once he and congress get this passed, how long before they attack mixed marriages?

Within 2 years. Before congress has Its next election. While Republicans have presidential, house, senate, and Supreme Court.
Can he do it by executive order? Or, do they need a court case to overturn previous court cases?
If they need a court case it might take a few months to a year and has nothing to do with Trump, except to say he already stacked the court with conservatives and if he needs to replace any justices they will be of the same leaning.
The uproar to completely getting rid of gay marriage if it happens will be really big. I hope it doesn’t happen.
I don’t even think Trump cares about it, I think he goes along to satisfy the Christian Dominionists to get the power and money he seeks. The result is the same for the American people whether he really cares about it or not.
I’m not even sure people realize that for some people part of the objection to gay marriage is tied to immigration. They don’t want people using gay marriage to get legal US status.
Just adding that from what I understand P2025 did not specifically say the intention is to eliminate gay marriage, but it does go after some rights of gay people and gay couples.
If you have the link to the specific text regarding gay marriage I’d be interested. I’ll try to search for it myself.
Of course it doesn’t have to be in P2025 for someone to try to do away with same sex marriage.
Also, I don’t see how “mixed marriages” can be eliminated in the US. There are a huge amount of “mixed marriages.” It would ruin the voting base Trump used to get elected. Which mix are we talking about?
I don’t think this is on the agenda.
Second Tuesday of February, including current.
He will make Christianity the national religion on the Third Tuesday ! He has to show the. MAGA Fundamentalist he is in charge. . . . of a dumpster fire ! ! ! !
@JLeslie If he tries to get rid of it, he is going to face a lot of backlash, although I don’t know if it will be on the scale of the Medicaid issue. I’m also worried that they will try to get rid of interracial marriage at some point, which would directly impact my sister and her husband.
It is going to take years to undo all he is doing currently.
We have 1451 days till next us presidential election.
He can’t do it by Executive Order. But the Idaho legislature passed a resolution asking that Obergefell be overturned by the SCOTUS.
The SCOTUS does not act on a state’s resolution, they would have to have a case go through the courts to reach them and then act. There are no current cases in process for it to get to the Supreme Court. Someone would have to demonstrate they were harmed by the current status quo.
