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.

    They didnt have SCOTUS locked down at the time. They do now. They’ll appeal any appellate court decision to the Supreme Court, who will find any excuse to rule in their favor. It’s already happened with Dobbs, the plaintiff literally had no standing to bring a suit, but SCOTUS said, “We won’t worry about that.” Then ruled based kn a Brittish law from before we were a country.

    You seem to think they believe in the rule of law. They don’t. They have spent 50 years preparing for this fucking moment where they can become the ruling class. Look at how Alito and Thomas openly flaunt that they’re for sale.

    They. Don’t. Care.

      I hope I’m right and you’re wrong for the sake of our democracy. I hope it lasts more than 250 years

        I hope so too, but the writing is on the wall. People saw Project 2025 and still voted for it. And now they’re gonna ram it down our throats.
