      It’s worse than their other denials. They will definitely enact these extremist plans and try to destroy our democracy, but Trump and his team will pretend otherwise until he’s in position. How do we know? They told us. The Heritage Foundation is a terrorist organization.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Trump’s vague disavowal of Project 2025 came a few days after Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, made inflammatory statements about a coming “second American Revolution” that would be “bloodless” “if the left allows it to be.”

    One of its two primary editors, Paul Dans, who directs the Heritage Foundation’s 2025 Presidential Transition Project, served as the White House liaison for the U.S. Office of Personnel Management during the Trump administration, among other positions.

    Gene Hamilton, who served in the Trump Justice Department and is now the vice president and general counsel of America First Legal, wrote the DOJ chapter.

    Similarly, the chapter on the Department of Homeland Security was written by Ken Cuccinelli, who held multiple positions in Trump’s DHS.

    People close to Trump also contributed to the Project 2025’s effort to recruit conservatives for administration positions, including appearances in promos and training videos.

    Other former Trump administration officials listed on the Project 2025 academy syllabus include Dearborn, Roger Severino, Hugh Fike, and Bethany Kozma.

        They refused for too long to run a younger, more progressive candidate because that would upset the oligarchy, which let to massive disillusionment among the base
