The right-wing think tank behind Project 2025 is now crafting new policy suggestions, including an incentive for married couples to have more children, according to a report.
Following its controversial 900-page blueprint for President Donald Trump’s second term, the Heritage Foundation is now drafting a new position paper that includes calls for a “Manhattan Project to restore the nuclear family,” referring to the program to develop the first nuclear weapons, the Washington Post reported.
The forthcoming paper, titled “We Must Save the American Family,” reportedly urges the government to pour funds into individual families rather than child care programs, like Head Start, according to the Post.
The Heritage Foundation is also urging the president to issue orders that require all proposed policies to “measure their positive or negative impacts on marriage and family.” If a program scores poorly, it should be revamped, according to the Post.
“For family policy to succeed, old orthodoxies must be re-examined and innovative approaches embraced, but more than that, we need to mobilize a nation to meet this moment,” the paper reportedly reads.
Well put. Marshner is essentially a televangelist - by “preaching the gospel”, she secures her endowment of wealth and immunity from religious prosecution. This system typifies the Trump regime, expanded to other things that people prone to magical thinking worry about - conspiracy theories, vaccines, folk medicine, etc.
It’s effective directly because it gives believers every chance to carry and spread a believable and reassuring lie, and to disregard or attack outsiders who try to inject rationality. Essentially, a cult.
