Don't worry, the Supreme Court would never allow them to do such brazenly unconstitutional - what's that? The heritage foundation hand picked the conservative majority in the supreme court?
Oh, nevermind. We're fucked.

The Federalist Society handpicked the the conservative majority, not the Heritage Foundation.
Birds of a feather...
Fascist together.
Nah, that's a bit reductive. There's internal dissent within the conservative movement. Not everyone's willing to go full fasc with Trump. A good chunk of the judges that were ruling against him in the 2020 election were Federalist Society members.
Hate is a strong word...and I hate the Heritage Foundation.
I had an RSS feed of them recently that I had to delete. You know how intellectuals bought into Hitler's vision? That's what Heritage is for Trump's American fascism. They wholeheartedly believe in it and will lie through their teeth to make it happen.
I'm just sayin'...if I lose my job, I'm gonna sign up for Hexbear. net and...uhh...we'll see what happens...
Hexbear will tell you that Trump is no worse than Biden. Legitimately, they constantly repeat that. It's insane.
Start making molotovs instead.
Yeah I know. They're insane and basically agents of chaos sleeper cells. That'll be me
They're just trolls who like being contrarians. In 30 years' time they'll be your uncle on Facebook-equivalent making racist posts and Just Asking Questions.
Hexbear is the septic tank of thoughtless praxis.
I think that's a lot of people if America becomes a dictatorship. If they think the populace is going down without a fight, they have a whole fucking nother thing coming to them. The only way an American dictator survives the first year is if they're hidden in a bunker underground.
Friendly reminder that, relatively speaking, almost nobody is aware of this. Almost nobody has heard of Project 2025. People literally see Trump as "not that bad".
Project 2025 is fucking dangerous. They essentially want to make LGBT+ people illegal, indoctrinate school kids with alt-right history propaganda, and remove any climate-focused and environmental-focused regulations. And that's just the beginning.
They're going to take away people's freedoms while dismantling democracy. It's bad.
If you go to Darude Sandstorm on Spotify, the guy on the album art is almost identical to the thumbnail of this post.
DON'T DO TECHNO IT AGES YOU
Die in a fire, fash.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Since taking over the Heritage Foundation in 2021, Kevin D. Roberts has been making his mark on an institution that came to prominence during the Reagan years and has long been seen as an incubator of conservative policy and thought.
Roberts told me that he views Heritage’s role today as “institutionalizing Trumpism.” This includes leading Project 2025, a transition blueprint that outlines a plan to consolidate power in the executive branch, dismantle federal agencies and recruit and vet government employees to free the next Republican president from a system that Roberts views as stacked against conservative power.
But I don’t want to dismiss the part of your question about the shift in the conservative movement toward more skepticism, if not restraint, in foreign policy, and I think a lot of that is prudent.
At CPAC last year, he said Hungary is “the place where we didn’t just talk about defeating the progressives and liberals and causing a conservative Christian political turn, but we actually did it.”
We believe it is the proper constitutional understanding of our government, provided — and this is a vital thing for us — that the legislative branch is much more active and maybe even proactive and ambitious in the assertion of its authority.
I know you don’t endorse candidates, but given that Trump is both the front-runner for the Republican Party’s nomination and currently under four different indictments, would a conviction on any of those counts be enough to give you pause that he’s the right person to be enacting Heritage’s agenda?
The original article contains 3,555 words, the summary contains 257 words. Saved 93%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
The problem I see now is that even if Trump loses, they will still push this vision of America.
