What do you think about The Heritage Foundation?

Oh wow, the Heritage Foundation. That sounds like some nice historical society. It sounds friendly like "Right To Work Laws" or "Pro Life Movement" or "The Moral Majority" or "Family Friendly", all wrapped up under a banner of Compassionate Conservatism. Only those Republican slogans are all hiding insidious policies that harm people and help Oligarchs. That's what Republicans do. They sell horrible ideas to ignorant morons by slapping a harmless sounding name on it. Well that is the Heritage foundation.

The Heritage Foundation is connected to the same people and ideology as the John Birch Society, a far right extremist organization that dates back to the anti communist witch trials of the 1950's. They are also connected to ALEC, another far right group responsible for writing all of the legislation for federal and state level Republicans who are too stupid to read or write it themselves. A common source of funding for all of this extremism is Oligarchs like the Koch Brothers, now just Chuckie since Davie croaked. Their daddy Freddie had ties to Nazi Germany. Anyway the Koch Family and other oligarchs have been dumping money into these organizations for 75 years.

They also dump money into the House and Senate to buy politicians. And it worked great. They bought Mitch McConnell and he helped them pack the Supreme Court which handed them the "Citizens United" decision in 2010 which cleared the way for unlimited dark money in political campaigns which basically legalized buying politicians.

These three organizations are the driving force behind the wealth gap, the rise of violent far right extremism, the corruption of the courts, rampant racism, the Tea Party / MAGA, and the current Project 2025 to destroy the US government so the rich can finally own everything.

These are the people destroying the United States Of America. When the citizens take to the streets with torches and ropes, these should be the first people they should be looking for.

Thst is what democrsts do. Look at the Lincoln Foundation. Honest Abe would turn over in his grave.

The Heritage Foundation was originally founded as a conservative think tank during the Nixon administration. It helped form conservative policy for Nicon and later for Reagan. Over time, it has become more radical conservative, and is the author of Project 2025, a radical right plan that most people, including President Trump, do not believe in, though some of its contents are considered to be worthwhile.

Excellent summary, Tom.

[exitseven]

Yes, that is exactly right. I knew that we kept you around here for something.

[goaded]

Trump does not believe in Project 2025 so much, he hired the main author (not to mention most of the authors worked for Trump last time.

MAGA muppets are always howling about the mysterious "deep state". Look no further.

Yup, exactly! A key personality trait of the MAGA crowd is projecting their own bad behavior onto others. If they're accusing you, it's almost certain they are engaged in that behavior. It's like they have a pathological need to confess their crimes.

The Heritage Foundation, the John Birch Society, and ALEC are the definition of a conspiracy to undermine the US government and society. They are the only real "Deep State" we need to worry about. Dark money in politics, hand crafted and photocopied Reich Wing legislation mailed out to Republican state elected officials hand picked because they can barely read, hand picked partisan judges at the state and federal level. And 90% of the population doesn't even know they exist. More like Dark State state than Deep State. Covert political ops in the shadows for 70 years.

I dislike it as much as I dislike modern left-wing ideology. It represents everything evil about far-right conservatism.
