Heritage Foundation Crazy Board
There's a lot of convoluted history behind what led to Project 2025, and that's likely on purpose.
This is a place to collect information about that history into one place. Hopefully, this will also help increase awareness and discussion about everything that is truly behind this history.
Any odd or interesting information relating to the Heritage Foundation, and it’s members or affiliate groups is welcome here.
If you’ve got obscure information/articles written by or mentioning people like Paul Weyrich, Ed Feulner, or information about other associates and affiliate organizations, such as the Coors Brewing family , the Council for National Policy (CNP), State Policy Network, and countless other shady ties, please drop them here.

Before abortion it was civil rights.
Before that it was women's suffrage.
Before that it was slavery.
This pattern will always find an excuse - some reason to distinguish a moral crusade for our people's innate superiority versus the vile outgroup coming to humiliate us all. Therefore in the name of preserving the past we must commit unprecedented violence to protect what cannot possibly change!
They're just shuffling cards. The outright bastards who contradict themselves within one sentence are only saying the quiet part loud. And the fact their audience does not immediately call horseshit is a big hint that they're not engaging with this on an intellectual level. Their preacher says so, and he's up the hierarchy. Any cognitive dissonance means they gotta "study it out" and find excuses. Like how Leviticus plainly says don't eat shellfish, don't mix fabrics, don't get tattoos, but the only reason Christians reference it is to whinge about queer people. Calling it infallible means nothing - because the authority figure speaking confidently said nuh-uh.
Fear is not necessary. This nonsense is how outwardly-reasonable pillars of the community deal with everyday obstacles, sometimes in the condescending affectation of charity. They're the opposite of scared. They think they're helping! But what they're saying is, it's good that this child is hungry, because Father Dingleberry said so on Sunday, and mumble mumble yadda yadda jingly keys.
Really have to disagree with you here, fear is how groups of people are kept under control. It's the basis of authoritarian regimes
How did Bush gain support for the patriot act despite the fact that it clearly violated civil liberties?
Why did Trump stand in front of a camera a few days ago and yell about how much danger we're all in? You know he's full of shit, but the person who is in an echo chamber, and never exposed to any questions of regarding his greatness, will believe he's saying that because it's true and he's looking out for her best interest
But the pro life movement and the whole idea of a moral majority, was created by Weyrich to gain enough support for conservatives who created segregation academies in the south after the civil rights movement.

When the supreme court threatened their tax exemption status, they knew the majority of Americans would not be sympathetic to them, and they needed a more palatable issue than segregation to gain support for the idea of a right to "religious freedom," that would allow them to maintain tax exemption.
When I say it was like an advertisement campaign. I mean they literally created films back when that was the best way to spread messaging, and toured the country screening those films and giving speeches in order to create the pro-life movement.
The moral majority is the alt-right is the Klan. It's all the same bullshit, over and over. They're always rebranding to claim they've been around forever. 'We're responsible for everything sensible and good, but now the evil outgroup has gone too far, so we must take extreme action to--' blah blah blah. The exact same pattern gave us Birth Of A Nation.
Fear is useful - but it's not necessary. People stuck in this mode are probably calmer than the rest of us, because they're not flipping their shit about observable reality. They don't live in it. They think The Idiot starting a fucking war doesn't count, on account of he said so. They've been exposed to decades of criticism against him - and they answer it by shuffling cards! He didn't say that. Well he didn't mean it. Well he's joking. Well it's out of context. Facts to the contrary are fake news. Study it out.
Facts don't fix it because it's not about ignorance. God help us, this worldview is stable. It is not fragile against contrary evidence. Evidence is not real, to people performing these excuses.
