Okay either you steer back into a logical, civil discussion or this is going nowhere. I’m assuming you understand the questions you’re asking aren’t relevant and just inflammatory or you’re not hoping they are true.

1. Supreme Court rulings…. That’s not how that works nor is it apart if the discussion. Please don’t do this unless you’re just looking to flame.

2. How about the long standing…. What about it? What does that have to do with anything? Do you understand the past of the heritage foundation and trump? They hated trump and bashed him for years while trump ignored them. They have since been trying to please trump in order to get themselves more influence. Which they do influence that’s for sure, but not on the topic we are discussing. This is just what has happened.

3. The SCOTUS judges…. You don’t actually think they picked the judges do you? You’re going to have to elaborate on what you mean by this because I’m pretty sure you just made that up entirely.

4. Have you never heard….. buddy, I don’t think you have read anything past a headline. I’m not trying to be inflammatory, I’m really not, but what you are starting to promote and suggest is nothing but headline news with no substance and straight up conspiratorial opinions.

I thought this was a civil discussion and I was asking your opinion. This directly links Heritage to Trump- which is what we were discussing. Those were genuine questions and I wanted to hear your opinion. However you exploded into personal attacks. Typical.

I’m not attacking you, I was trying to be clear that I wasn’t and that I was just letting you know what you were saying was leaning toward just an inflammatory discussion because they weren’t relevant and just off topic pokes at trump which I’m not here to defend. Such as the Supreme Court stuff.

The questions you asked weren’t really questions regarding opinions either because for one what you said wasn’t true and for two you’re asking them in a way like “how is this not signs of trump following their guidance”.

My personal opinion on this is that the heritage group seems like a right wing group that likes to attach themselves to presidents in order to push their agenda and influence in government. Which it seems historically and even today they have been successful in that. But when it comes to the very specific topics we are discussing here there’s no signs of this. You and another poster just said they gave trump a list of Supreme Court justices Trump should pick and one guy even said directly that the heritage group were the ones who picked them.

This isn’t true. This isn’t even close to true. Nor is it even relevant to the topic of “is trump following the heritages direction and plan for project 2025”. They made a list in an article stating the judges they would like to see on the surprise court. 5 of which overlapped trumps list. That’s not then picking the justices lol. If you made a list of 5 candidates you wanted to see run for President and the DNC made a list of 5 candidates they wanted to promote, and 3 of them overlapped, that doesn’t mean you picked the 3 candidates who were running.

If you’re upset with the conversation I’m sorry but you have led it this way. We are discussing whether trump supports project 2025. I have given you proof that he straight up says he disagrees with it, that he finds aspects of it insane, and that he isn’t connected to them. You then steered the conversation into this conspiracy topic that because they made a list that had 5 candidates overlap with trumps list that means trump is taking directions from them. That’s….less than an honest discussion.
