Summary

Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation and architect of Trump’s Project 2025, employs intense fire-related rhetoric in his upcoming book, Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America, advocating for a “controlled burn” of institutions he deems corrupt or antithetical to conservative goals.

Roberts calls for dismantling entities like the FBI, Ivy League schools, and the New York Times, framing it as necessary to “renew” America.

His incendiary language has sparked controversy, with critics alarmed by the violent imagery and its implications for Trump’s second term.

Didn't Trump already say he's not doing P2025 and wants to go with some other plan that involves messing around with taxes and taking troops out of Syria? And that the Right is pissed cause he's not doing P2025...

If true, that might be the first good deed he's done

If false, that sucks, cause I really don't wanna end up in a camp

Christ’s sake. Like any of the shit that crime elemental says contains even a molecule of truth. He saw how upset people are by the prospect so he backpedaled like, well, someone who’s in infinitely better shape than he is. The benefit of the doubt that anyone can give—which, let’s be real here, he absolutely does not deserve—is that Trump himself isn’t going to do a goddamn thing apart from shuffle across a golf course on the daily and scribble on the occasional executive order; but you should know that the ghouls in his inner circle are the ones who do all the wetwork for him anyway. They’ll be the ones to raise their flag over Gilead, just as they’ve been planning to do all along. If you believed anything to the contrary, then I have a stainless steel electric truck to sell you.

I haven't heard that. What I've heard is that Stephen Miller said they're full steam ahead with Project 2025.

Trump is just a useful idiot to these fascists

Your first mistake was assuming Trump was telling the truth.

About anything.

Ever.

Didn’t Trump already say…

Yeah. But what’s that got to do with anything he’s actually going to do?
