Project 2025 is.... Horrifying.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Elites with a “sense of superiority” are ruining Washington, despite being “mere equals of the workers who shower after work instead of before”, writes Kevin Roberts in the introduction to Project 2025, the conservative manifesto for a second Trump administration.
He snagged a New York Times headline in 2015 after rejecting any federal student aid funding because it would compromise the college’s stances against LGBTQ+ people and covering birth control with health insurance.
“I expected him to be the next senator from Texas or governor or something like that,” Arbery said, “because his capacities were large, and his whole genius was political in the sense that he was always thinking of ways to bring about the ends that he was after, which were conservative.”
WyoFile notes that he drives a diesel Ford F-150 complete with the yellow-snaked “Don’t Tread on Me” license plate and a “Come and Take It” bumper sticker, both nods to a defiant view of government.
In the process of moving the foundation to be more aligned with Trump, it has lost employees who “worry that the institution is attaching itself to a faction of the conservative movement that prioritizes partisanship over policy”, the Dispatch reported in 2022.
While the foundation is trying to amplify its already-large influence on conservative politics, the outstanding question - which will likely decide the fates of both Roberts and Heritage in the Trump era - is whether the big swing will work.
