“People will lose their jobs,” the think tank’s president says about federal workers. “Hopefully their lives are able to flourish in spite of that.”
Since taking over the Heritage Foundation in 2021, Kevin D. Roberts has been making his mark on an institution that came to prominence during the Reagan years and has long been seen as an incubator of conservative policy and thought.
Roberts, who was not well known outside policy circles when he took over, has pushed the think tank away from its hawkish roots by arguing against funding the war in Ukraine, a turnabout that prompted some of Heritage’s policy analysts to leave. Now he’s looking ahead, to the 2024 election and beyond.
Roberts told me that he views Heritage’s role today as “institutionalizing Trumpism.” This includes leading Project 2025, a transition blueprint that outlines a plan to consolidate power in the executive branch, dismantle federal agencies and recruit and vet government employees to free the next Republican president from a system that Roberts views as stacked against conservative power. The lesson of Trump’s first year in office, Roberts told me, is that “the Trump administration, with the best of intentions, simply got a slow start. And Heritage and our allies in Project 2025 believe that must never be repeated.”
Hate is a strong word…and I hate the Heritage Foundation.
I had an RSS feed of them recently that I had to delete. You know how intellectuals bought into Hitler’s vision? That’s what Heritage is for Trump’s American fascism. They wholeheartedly believe in it and will lie through their teeth to make it happen.
I’m just sayin’…if I lose my job, I’m gonna sign up for Hexbear. net and…uhh…we’ll see what happens…
Hexbear will tell you that Trump is no worse than Biden. Legitimately, they constantly repeat that. It’s insane.
Start making molotovs instead.
Yeah I know. They’re insane and basically agents of chaos sleeper cells. That’ll be me
They’re just trolls who like being contrarians. In 30 years’ time they’ll be your uncle on Facebook-equivalent making racist posts and Just Asking Questions.
Incorrect. Goddamn pug Jesus, you should at least make an effort to lurk enough over there to know wtf you’re talking about. That way you could make accurate accusations or insults towards them.
No, I’ve been dealing with tankies for… Christ, over a decade and a half at this point.
I’ve seen their life cycle. Hexbear aren’t the subspecies who turn into bitter old Trots college professors.
…that’s a long ass time.
… yeah. I imagine in another decade and a half I’ll be bitterly musing about how I’ve been arguing with tankies for most of my life, lmao.
Hexbear is the septic tank of thoughtless praxis.
They’re pretty much right. You don’t see many liberals worried about the wall these days
Because Biden isn’t going to build it?

I think that’s a lot of people if America becomes a dictatorship. If they think the populace is going down without a fight, they have a whole fucking nother thing coming to them. The only way an American dictator survives the first year is if they’re hidden in a bunker underground.
