THE MORE PEOPLE learn about it, the more unpopular and politically toxic Project 2025 has proven to be. This has led the Trump and Vance campaign to attempt to distance itself from the effort. Former Trump adviser Stephen Miller now says he had “zero involvement with Project 2025,” despite appearing in a promotional video. And just today, The Intercept discovered two more conservative groups that have quietly bowed out from the controversial 900-page manifesto — including a national anti-abortion organization.
Miller’s group, America First Legal Foundation, was one of the first organizations to jump ship from the Project 2025 advisory board. Last week, America First Legal asked to be removed from the Project 2025 advisory board webpage. The organization was part of Project 2025 since at least June 2022, when the Heritage Foundation first announced the advisory board’s formation.
America First Legal staff were deeply involved in writing and editing the Project 2025 playbook. Its vice president and general counsel, Gene Hamilton, drafted an entire chapter about the Justice Department, which proposes launching a “campaign” to criminalize mailing abortion pills. In a footnote, Hamilton thanked “the staff at America First Legal Foundation,” who he wrote deserved “special mention for their assistance while juggling other responsibilities.”
Gotta love that the greatest strength of fascism is also it’s biggest weakness. Fascists value a strongman mentality and flock to powerful and influential people. As soon as there is any sign of weakness or drop in influence, it crumbles under it’s own weight.
I’ll be honest, living through interesting times sucks but watching the second collapse of American fascism is pretty interesting.
Wait until we’re sure before saying American fascism is collapsing. Poke it with a stick. Maybe shoot it. Many times.
It will inevitably collapse at some point, but we don’t know yet if it will do massive damage before it does.
It’s like a political Family Circus cartoon!
“Okay, who’s responsible for Project 2025?!”
“Not me!”
“Not me!”
If sunlight disinfects it, it’s either moldy or vampiric.
Conservative Organizations Are Quietly Scurrying Away From Project 2025
Calling bullshit on that.
They’re avoiding talking about it, not actually distancing themselves from it.
They forgot to keep their secret plans secret.
Has anyone aggregated a list of the orgs involved that we could just have them on blast as well?
This is the link to the list of Project 2025 Advisory Board members.
