You’ve heard of Donald Trump. But have you heard of Russell Vought? He’s the man behind Project 2025—a 900-page roadmap for dismantling democracy and rebuilding it in the image of the far-right. Six months in, Trump is executing this plan step-for-step. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/project-20...

Kevin Roberts of Opus Dei/Heritage Foundation and Tom Homan also played significant roles. Tom Homan provided input for immigration policy. It is notable that they are both Catholics along with all the 'right-wing' SC judges selected by Opus Dei cartel member Leonard Leo.

Why did vote vote against the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and in line with trump 90% of the time? For anyone reading this, if you don't believe those facts, look them up. Conservatism does not support democratic values.

Kinzinger needs to be taken to task for this more often. You don't get to worship Reagan, develop a voting record that facilitates all this destruction, and then run from the lunatic he made possible - and consistently voted with.

ABSOLUTELY!!!! They can pretend this is shocking but that's bullshit. McConnel stole a SC seat from Pres. Obama. That was a slap in the face to democracy & exactly the kind of crap Repubs love. Didn't see Kinzinger or Cheney speak against this assault on democracy that occurred long before 🍊💩.

Felon47 is the perfect “Useful Idiot” The Heritage Foundation had been seeking. Knowing how huge his ego is, they said, “In exchange for implementing Project 2025, we’ll let him think he’s in charge.” Of course he said Yes.

Vought is a control freak & relies heavily on reframing conflicts into “procedural” terms. He’s weak & evil. To put it bluntly the creep is a recently divorced F*cking coward hiding in the deep dark corners of this regime pulling the levers of Lucifer!!!

He's that treasonous fuck that threatened democrats that the revolution will be non violent if democrats allow it to be. I'd like this motherfucker to make that challenge to my face. Then we'll see what happens

They will deliver this whether Trump is at the helm or six feet under. It will deliver an authoritarian dictatorship and likely there will be no more elections after the last one.

The reason that Republicans made Project 2025 & the Big Bullshit Bill over 900 pages is so that regular voters in both parties won’t take the time to read & understand. Too many believe what MSM says instead of what GOP actually wrote

However, I do believe Trump during the campaign when he said he had not read any of it BUT only because he’s so stupid and there were no pictures!!! All of them need to burn in hell….sooner rather than later!!!

Someone needs to bring the heritage foundation down. Burn it to hell. I’m sure there are a lot of secrets & it’s obvious criminal activities. I don’t understand how these Americans can be so spiteful, spineless, evil, corrupt and enjoy watching other humans suffer..I hope Karma is a bitch!

Adam: the BlueSky audience is very familiar with Vought. He's the actual President, and Stephen Miller is the actual VP. The question is, why didn't you see this endpoint coming for all those years you advocated for the party that created these monsters?

The GOP regime that controls the felon administration uses Trump as a mascot and a shield while it executes a plan that has evolved since Reagan. It's unfortunate that many people in America believe Trump is commanding our destruction, not being commanded by GOP operatives like Russell Vought.

Yes,for those of us who did our homework,and read that outrageous Project 2025, we all knew they were playing trump like a tool!! Now watch trump will step down and Vance will take over.That will be our biggest failure yet. Vance sold his soul to these men….

Trump wasn't played. He knew what Project 2025 was and did what he does best - he lied about it. Trump's ego won't allow him to step down. They're waiting for him to die, which is likely to happen before 2028. They'll just control him like Reagan as his brain continues to turn to mush.

So maybe people need to start saying that Trump has no policy of his own, that it belongs to the much smarter Vought and give all credit to him. Trump's fragile ego won't be able to take it and he may go the opposite direction😅

Over the years people have been making "conspiracy theories" about the "Illuminati" doing government controlling things behind closed doors, but it's so much more mundane and obvious than all that. It's basically oligarchy (multiple groups of oligarchs at that) doing things out in the open.

People are too busy working and trying not to be homeless to pay attention, and mainstream media just tries to distract them from the people in charge, so the oligarchs don't have to hide that much. They can just safely say it in public and people are too distracted and tired to see it and respond.

Not only did scumbag Vought produce the manifesto, but then the Con installed this prick conveniently as the OMB Director. Bring in the goddamn guillotines already.

Unlike others in the Trump administration, Vought is very skilled at his job. He will be relentless at defunding programs that benefit many Americans and will also work to take away women’s rights and government regulations. He works for billionaires and has no interest in helping most Americans.

People were blind for believing Trump when he claimed to “not know what project 2025 is” and “never heard of it”. Those words alone should have been a telltale sign he was absolutely lying. Not shocking he would likely not even know what’s in it but he certainly installed the creators in his admin.

I think it's time to stop pretending that "Trump" is executing this plan. He's just signing hundreds of random (to him) executive orders shoved in his face and engaging various royal fantasies, while stuffing his pockets.

War is coming sad to say but if #GOP do not stop tearing about our #Democracy for power, then all will be turned down #Project2025 designers are #AntiAnericans, #AntiDemocracy and #ProControl. Time to put end to it!

Of course, we know all about Vought. This is not just about Trump. This is an insidious, festering plague that has permeated our government and is destroying our republic from within. Trump is just a tool, one tool of many, in a cog of evil machinations by a cabal of powerful men with money.

Yes I was aware before the election, donating, calling, posting online, doing everything I humbly could to spare us from our fascist descent. It’s amazing to me people are just now waking up. Where have you been for the last decade?

This is what’s so infuriating. They fucking TOLD us what they were going to do, but the feckless Dems seemingly have no counter plan. I suppose it’s true, you don’t need a counter plan is you don’t plan to counter.

Good article. Important not to lose sight of that. Trump does not know enough about government or policy to direct or even approve 90% of the administration agenda. The Heritage Foundation transplants know just enough about government and policy to be dangerous, but they are not competent either.

You want to really be afraid of the far right...read the many things Peter Thiel has said about the antichrist, armageddon, end times. The right wing are bringing about the end of the world with their digital everything, their replacing people with AI, their plan for immortality, Mars. We are losing

The 'plan' is working because of one man's vanity, lust for power & money and innate need for acceptance and pproval. Krasnov is just the primary cog in the machine destroying our America. Add that to the disassembling of three branches of government and treasonous behaviors and it's smooth sailing.

As someone living in civilized Europe, I'd say your grandfathers had the great habit of shooting Nazis on sight, so why not start again? Plus, you already have a shitload of guns and ammunition in your homes, so what's stopping you? Don't waste your time arguing with these fascist bullies.

Can’t leave out Leonard Leo, attorney, who is former VP of the Federalist Society and ultra conservative catholic (and member of Opus Dei). He single-handedly got the Supreme Court to where it is now.

Does it matter who is pulling the strings? The whole collective of greed driven white nationalists needs to be taken down. Doing it person by person is a waste of energy.

I got into trouble at a local school board meeting for trying to comment that Project 2025, which was mentioned at a previous meeting, is inimical to public education in principle. One of the candidates for the board shouted me down. She was eventually stopped but I had happily made my point.

We had a chance in 2021. Biden could have done what Lula is doing today in Brazil (house arrest would have been a good start). But no, the Democrats were complicit and they did what they do best: Help and enable Republicans because, in the end, they’re all the same.

The Dems are deeply flawed and never seem to understand the scope of the threat they're up against, but so long as they're the only party investing in infrastructure, education, healthcare, environmental protections, banking regulations, foreign aid and clean energy, they're definitely not the same.

Rachel Maddow and her colleagues have been reporting on Project 2025 and it’s potential impact for a very long time. It was terrifying when the story first broke….it is far worse than anyone could imagine. Democracy is not just being dismantled, it’s BURNING!

oo-er....surname sounds a bit foreign to me...? European origin Dutch/German... putting this here with absolutely no agenda... Frederick Vought, a Nazi scientist whom Adolf Hitler himself appointed as the chief physician at Dachau
