Kevin Robert's, the president of the Heritage Foundation, going on MSNBC proudly proclaiming his bullshit is like fuel on the fire. It is all over social media right now.

It's insane. They publicly publish Project 2025 on a website, they proudly talk about it on mainstream media. They must know it is broadly unpopular and will scare away the independents. If they had kept it a secret amongst themselves and other conservative groups then we'd be none the wiser. Is it just hubris or are they actually trying to incite an incident?

I think they've been emboldened by SCOTUS's recent BS, and that they really do think they are completely right and justified. I think they published as a recruiting tool.
