Here's the education of the guy who heads the think tank that made this bullshit up:
Roberts earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, a Master of Arts in history from Virginia Tech, and a Ph.D. in American history from University of Texas at Austin.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Roberts_(academic)
So basically, a history professor with 3rd rate qualifications from 4th rate universities.
No experience or knowledge in politics whatsoever.
If this is the garbage that actually sparks off the next US civil war, I will lose my fucking mind at the stupidity of it all.
He's the president of the fucking Heritage Foundation. That makes him the head of one of the most influential political organisations in the country.
That's much more important than what his PhD was on.
O rly? Do tell how they are so influential-- without quoting their marketing material.
And if they have any influence whatsoever, frankly that makes it worse.
Yes, it makes it much worse. It is absolutely a serious plan and you should worry about it.

They've created substantial policy for Regan, Clinton, and Trump. You should also pay attention to the shear amount of money they have. They spend 80 million plus in a year on lobbying.

Lol it's called reading comprehension, you should try it. Lol
The Heritage Foundation has been providing fascists with talking points and directing policy.
I'm on board with bashing project 2025, but I don't think I'd call those "4th rate universities," at least not UT Austin
I'm sorry, what's up bro?
I'll never get this snob-tier shit, where you need to go to Eaton, Cambridge, and Oxford before we can take your bigotry seriously.
There are plenty of first tier universities in the US. Shame this guy couldn't get in to any of them
Some of the dumbest people in this country graduated Ivy
