Remember when the Project 2025 head said "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be"?
Turns out that wasn't an off the cuff remark -- the sentiment is repeated throughout his now-delayed book.
@mmfa has a galley copy of Kevin Roberts' Dawn's Early Light. Publication has been delayed amid a political crisis for Trump over his connections to Project 2025.
Roberts casts the modern conservative movement in revolutionary terms.
JD Vance follows a who's who of extremists on Twitter, including antisemites, conspiracy theorists, and white supremacists.
Thread on the weirdos and freaks that the VP candidate follows: 🧵
Pedro Gonzalez is a right-wing influencer who has said "as a group" Jews are "problematic" and advocated for "screening them for movements"
Richard Hanania wrote on for white supremacist publications under a pseudonym, advocated for forced sterilizations of "low IQ people" who he claimed were mostly Black and opposes "race-mixing". A lot more here huffpost.com/entry/richard-…

The policy work has been largely complete since they published their 900 page book in April 2023. Project 2025 includes an indispensible concentration of policy proposals in the conservative movement mediamatters.org/heritage-found…
Kevin Roberts on 7/12: “Never before has the conservative movement been this unified around a governing agenda”
Project 2025 is about securing the legacy of Trumpism for the next GOP administration and beyond.
