The president of Heritage was quoted yesterday, I believe, as saying that a Trump victory would result in a “Second American Revolution,” which would be bloodless if the left did not resist it. The Trump campaign, justifiably worried about the inflammatory language, tried to put distance between itself and Heritage without actually disavowing anything specific in the Project 2025 agenda.
Given Trump’s erratic behavior and thought patterns, it is reasonable to assume that Heritage will not be dictating terms to him. However, the organization is full of friends and true believers, so anything it says must be taken both literally and seriously. In light of that, you have to wonder if the fragment of the electorate that will vote for Trump purely out of concern about Biden’s health, or out of a misplaced desire to bring back the economy of 2019, knows that it is actually giving its consent to a “Second American Revolution.” And what about the “bloodless” part? Is Heritage telling us that legal dissent to its program will be met with force?
I can’t read it any other way.
