If you listen to my radio show live (as you should and can here) you would be well ahead of the media’s latest obsession over Project 2025. More than a month ago, I told my listeners that I was hearing multiple anecdotal stories of predominantly black radio and podcast hosts warning their audiences about Project 2025. Fast forward to today and everyone from MSNBC to The New York Times paints the project as an attempt to bring The Handmaid's Tale to life.
The reality is Project 2025 is a jobs board that was spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation and others to assemble the best team around Donald Trump and the agencies at his disposal if he were to get elected. Since he only has one term left, the goal is to prescreen candidates for office now in order to expedite the process when Trump assumes office.
That was the original mission of Project 2025 which is well and good. However, now it’s gone beyond that into crafting policy initiatives with partner agencies who - in some cases - aren’t all that conservative. The ultimate problem is that progressives are tying Project 2025 to Donald Trump who is completely uninvolved and has recently denounced the project. Here’s everything you need to know.
The legacy media has been lying and misrepresenting Project 2025. I read an excellent article on it where the President of The Heritage Foundation explained the whole project. I have been a supporter and member of The Heritage Foundation for years and they are a great think tank on conservative government.
The Dems needed a "shadow platform" to counter the surprisingly socially moderate and game-changing platform of Donald Trump. The boogeyman they thought they had coming never arrived, so they had to enlist another.
The Dems were going to hit hard on abortion this fall, and now Trump is looking like the reasonable one. Maybe not to the "vote blue no matter who" crowd, but definitely to the middle and those who have yet to make up their minds. The VBNMW crowd wasn't going to vote for Trump in a million years.
Interesting that the same adjectives keep being used by all of the Dems.
In short, the Dems got played by Trump, and now they have to resort to backup plans. And that's before getting to the Biden question.
