No worse than Trump, his cult, the heritage foundation and christian nationalists.

The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 is a “presidential transition project” created as a blueprint for recruitment and indoctrination should Donald J. Trump become the next president.
The plan calls for establishing a government that would be imbued with “biblical principles” and run by a president who holds sweeping executive powers.
The Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank and
sponsor of The Republican National Committee’s convention, is directing the effort, along with hundreds of additional organizations. Despite
Trump’s disavowalof Project 2025, the effort includes
140 staff members, advisors, and agency heads of the former Trump administration.
Heritage Foundation’s president, Kevin Roberts, recently
said, “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”
He’s not exaggerating.
The plan is ambitious. The
Mandate for Leadership is both specific in detail and vengeful in tone. Its central agenda is to impose a form of Christian nationalism on the United States.
Christian nationalism believes that the Christian Bible, as God’s infallible law, should be the basis of government and have primacy over public and private institutions.
Its patriarchal view does not recognize gender equality or gay rights and sanctions discrimination based on religious beliefs. Christian nationalist ideas are woven through the plans of Project 2025 and the pages of
Mandate for Leadership.
Its thousands of recommendations include specific executive orders to be repealed or implemented. Laws, regulations, departments, and whole agencies would be abolished. It portrays anyone who opposes its sweeping ambitions as being enemies of our republic.
