That would be the President's plan.

Biden has given policy points, but he is largely limited as, at best, he is expected to have a tie in the Senate.

We are also seeing this get written by others since the first Trump term saw a vacuum in policy and this is an attempt to get people on board beforehand so Trump's second term is more effective when he goes all dictator.

This is the best answer IMO. There’s no counter because Project 2025 is one part party platform (which the Democratic Party will vote on its own at the convention), and one part formula to remake the executive branch to prop up the president as a dictator. Technically, the counter to the second part would be the Constitution, existing (read: not yet gutted by the current SCOTUS) legal precedent, and existing federal law.
