  1. RE: mastodon.world/@paninid/116412

    "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be."
    #KevinRoberts #HeritageFoundation #Project2025

    "I have less political power because they’re importing a brand-new electorate. Why should I sit back and take that?"
    #TuckerCarlson #GreatReplacement

    "It's really weird to be living through history."
    #JoanMastodon #TTJ

  2. "What’s ironic is that you have the leader of the Catholic church speaking out against war and against the way that immigrants are being treated. That shows this co-option of the Christian identity by Opus Dei to be a complete fallacy; it’s all for political expediency. It’s about these people’s own deeply authoritarian and conservative views about how the world should be run."

  3. "People like Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation [and the force behind Project 2025], is a regular at the Opus Dei centre in central DC and gets his spiritual direction from them. You’ve got Leonard Leo, who helped to orchestrate the conservative takeover of the supreme court and sits on the board of the Opus Dei centre in central Washington. The list goes on."

  4. As Walker notes, right-wing influencer Rod Dreher, who now lives in Hungary & is thick with Viktor Orbán, recently had a sit-down with J.D. Vance and Orbán in the White House:

    "According to Dreher, his time with Vance also included a discussion of 'Groyperism' and what he described as the 'new radicalism racing through the young' in Washington D.C. during this second Trump era.'"

  5. "Heritage created the intellectual blueprint for the administration’s assault on American democracy. ...

    The groypers who have successfully infiltrated federal agencies are likely implementing plans written by the Heritage Foundation."

  6. "The Heritage Foundation, Carlson, and Fuentes are all part of a singular White Christian Nationalist movement hoping to make America great again by restricting the rights of people of color, rolling back the feminist movement’s victories, and cheer-leading authoritarianism. Heritage, through Project 2025, served as a kind of government-in-waiting between the first and second Trump administration."

  7. "Fuentes’ politics are not a betrayal of the Heritage Foundation’s principles, they are their culmination. Fuentes is the fly born of Heritage’s maggot: the next stage in the life cycle of hateful politics motivating Roberts and the wider conservative movement."

  8. "And if this shocks and surprises you, well, you just weren’t paying attention.

    Its descent into conspiracy-mongering and blatant bigotry was utterly predictable."

  9. "Heritage was never a respectable institution doing honest research. It was always in the business of telling lies on behalf of its wealthy supporters. But now it’s trying to turn itself into a MAGA/Groyper institution, less focused on telling economic lies and more focused on bigotry and conspiracy theories."

    "who then delivered deregulation and tax cuts. Heritage was an integral cog within this scheme, giving superficial respectability to policies that were in fact deeply regressive and discriminatory, and overwhelmingly to the benefit of the moneyed class. …

    It’s important to get the story of Heritage correct, because it is also the story of the modern right as a whole."

  11. "It has always been a propaganda mill cosplaying as a research institution – a scam that worked for a long time. Heritage’s problem now is that its original scam was designed for a different era — a Reaganesque era in which plutocrats could discreetly leverage bigotry and intolerance to elect Republicans," (continued in /3)

  12. "I believe that much of the commentary [about Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and Kevin Roberts of Heritage Foundation] misjudges the true nature of Heritage, portraying it as a genuine think tank that picked the wrong leader or was corrupted by MAGA.

    Because the truth is that Heritage has always been a fraud."

  13. The Heritage Foundation is experiencing internal chaos as staff and conservative leaders demand Kevin Roberts’ resignation over his recent defense of Tucker Carlson and comments that blame “the globalist class” for attacking him. Roberts’s support for Carlson, who hosted a notorious white nationalist guest, Nick Fuentes, has ignited accusations of playing into antisemitic tropes. The controversy has sparked resignations from key figures, including members of Heritage’s antisemitism task force and prominent fellow Chris DeMuth, amid tense debates over religious participation and organizational values. This upheaval threatens the foundation’s unity and signals deep divisions over extremism and antisemitism within mainstream conservative circles. Will Heritage regain its footing?

  14. "At one level, it’s entertaining to watch conservatives squirm over the Groyperism of their party — although they’ve been very slow in responding to what has been obvious for years.

    'The distance between Fuentes and the mainstream Republican Party isn’t really that large,' Richard Hanania told the NYT…."

    As a non-paying subscriber to Hale's Letters from Leo blog, I can't read the entire essay, unfortunately.

  16. A good take from Hannah Gais on Nick Fuentes' recent appearance on Tucker Carlson's podcast, the back-and-forth about it on the right, and what it all might say about where they're collectively heading.

    She writes:

    There’s plenty of hypocrisy to point out here. For one, Heritage is the author of Project Esther, a guidebook for cracking down left-wing anti-Zionist student protesters on college and university campuses. One of its top priorities is to “expose the critical resources fueling antisemitism” through what it dubs the “Hamas Support Network.”

    But that’s not what I want to focus on here. Instead, I want to explore the question that has been nagging me since I first learned of Fuentes’ appearance on Tucker Carlson: How did we get here? And, in the long term, what does it mean?

  17. #KevinRoberts declined to be interviewed. #HeritageFoundation spox Noah Weinrich said Roberts’s remark on the podcast was meant to warn of left-wing #violence [despite overwhelming evidence that the majority of #PoliticalViolence is committed by the #FarRight]. “Any attempt to mischaracterize Dr. Roberts’ comments as supportive of violence is grotesque & completely contrary to the observation he was making,” he said.

  18. “If we’re going to ask the left to tone it down, we have to do our part as well,” #PaulDans, who led #Project2025 until July, said in an interview. “There’s no place for this sort of violent rhetoric & bellicose taunting, especially in light of the fact that *President* Trump has now been subject to not one but two assassination attempts.”

  19. #Project2025 ex-director condemns #HeritageFoundation president’s ‘violent rhetoric’
    #PaulDans, the fmr dir of the #RightWing #policy & personnel blueprint known as Project 2025 is condemning what he sees as “#violent rhetoric” from Heritage Foundation President #KevinRoberts & calling on Republican vice-presidential nominee #JDVance to retract the foreword he wrote for Roberts’s book.

  20. How weird are these people‽ Also, what is wrong with dog parks‽

    I already was surprised they were against #InVitroFertilization (most pro-life folks favor #IVF), but dog parks too‽

    I guess hating on childless cat ladies was not enough!
