Functionally maybe not, but the things that
the Black Panthers were against really existed and were really doing damage to them and the country as a whole. They faced significant and obvious injustice. They used violent action because it was clear that nothing else was working, during a time when being black still meant that you were very clearly a second class citizen. It was an understandable response to the issues they faced when trying to get the country to actually abide by it's own rules and treat them fairly as they deserved. It may not have been the best or most appropriate thing, but one can understand how a reasonable and rational person could make the decisions they did.
Project 2025 is a bunch of people who are essentially attempting to undermine government processes and structure because they're not Christian enough, not authoritarian enough, not capitalist enough, or all three. Some of their concerns are legitimate, but most of them are fictions that are either against their religion or are stopping them from seizing power or making money as easily as they might like. The reality is that addressing the problems the country faces would require the opposite of all those, and so Project 2025 has created this fictional antagonism that justifies their attempts to turn the country some sort of totalitarian religious state by any means necessary.
Motives matter. Alice shot an attacker that was threatening the lives of Alice and her family. Bob shot Sandy because Sandy is gay, supports abortion, and is involved in environmental activism.
Murder is bad in general, but we can recognise that Alice and Bob are not the same even though they did the same thing. The Black Panthers were at least attempting to protect their people while bringing about a society where such violent activism (and the division into "us" and "them") would not need to exist. Project 2025 pretends that's what they're doing in order to attack the people and systems they have decided are their enemies and seize even more power.
