Not good enough. Even winding down an agency, like NOAA (fully planned as part of Project 2025), takes effort. These people don’t have any appreciation for how they’ll pull one thread and find it’s connected to a hundred other threads. Trump personally lacks the attention span to put any effort into it, and the people underneath him will jockey for position and work at cross purposes.
It’s not a lot of comfort right now, but fascism is self-defeating.
Something like NOAA really requires a lot of experts to run, and get value from. If they replace it with loyalists, privatize it, or just stop funding it all together it’s entire benefit will end.
I can list a ton of impacts to NOAA benefits ending:
National Weather Service likely gets privatized
only premium users get the 24/7 continuous weather updates from NWR broadcasts (radio weather updates).
3.NWWS (basically used for severe weather monitoring) now has fees or is gone.
EWIN means no more emergency weather coordination.
That means immediately we have disasters in all farming communities from lower crop yields. The tornado belt will get deadlier. You can just forget about living in Florida. It will be very expensive to fly because airlines no longer receive that data. More destructive forest fires. Incoming and outgoing sea shipping will become much more expensive and dangerous (more expensive imports, exports, seafood, off shore oil).
Not to mention space weather is in the realm of NOAA. Satellite and radio comms will be difficult to account for. Geomagnetic storms will cause infrastructure damage when operators of pipelines and power grids can’t prepare for the induced surges.
That’s just a tiny list. I like sort collectively acknowledge - Maga is a cult of Death. It doesnt matter who or why, they just want to cull the human population.
What’s sort of funny to me is the conspiracy about our leaders being lizard people makes more since if the Project 2025 people are actually aliens going about in a systemic way to remove us from the planet for themselves. A la “They Live” style.

That’s the major saving grace of it.

Weather.gov is shut down or prioritized.

It really is just a recipe to destroy all functioning systems. It doesnt make any sense unless you want to absolutely wreck a country.
Mr Musk fired 80% of the Twitter staff. Pretty sure there was no organized wind down, it’s just gone. That’s how he thinks it works.
