The true, tactical significance of Project 2025
But (nearly) all the reporting and commentary on Project 2025 badly misses the point.
Project 2025 isn't new. The Heritage Foundation and its allies have prepared documents like this, in the run-up to many presidential elections. Warren G Harding's 1921 inaugural address captures much of its spirit, as did the Nixon campaign's 1973 vow to "move the country so far to the right 'you won’t even recognize it.'

The Heritage Foundation’s 900-page Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, the anchor of the marquee right-wing think tank’s Project 2025, is not what you’ve heard. It’s not some book of magic spells for President Trump’s minions to cast, and poof goes away every last vestige of truth, justice, and the American way. For one thing, much of it is too dumb to accomplish anything at all.
