As the country looks ahead to the 2024 presidential election, a conservative initiative known as Project 2025, which includes transphobic policies, is facing controversy over its overtly anti-LGBTQ+ aspects.
Championed on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast and closely tied to former President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, the initiative is a stark embodiment of the retribution Trump has promised against his foes who have abandoned the MAGA movement.
At the heart of this project is a lengthy 900-page document, the 17-page forward of which is titled “A Promise to America” by Kevin D. Roberts, president of the right-wing Heritage Foundation, which has drawn scrutiny for its transphobic rhetoric.
Roberts outlines a vision of a nation in crisis. “Today, the American family is in crisis,” he wrote. “Children suffer the toxic normalization of transgenderism with drag queens and pornography invading their school libraries.”
Leeja did a reasonable overview of it for those that don’t want to read.
I would have liked page references so I can read the lines myself and reference them against Righties arguing for this shit, but yes, her video was very useful in understanding what this 900 page document is actually saying.
Arguing page and line number against righties is often a waste of time. And exactly the thing they want you to do. Not that people shouldn’t. But personally I would rather read the silmarillian again. More power to you if you can slug through it. 🙂
