Hacked materials from the powerful rightwing thinktank the Heritage Foundation show that applicants to a Project 2025-branded effort to create a talent pool for the Trump administration cited the influence of Nazi political theorists and other far-right thinkers on their political views.

As bad as it has been getting in this nation of ours, regarding the hatred, bigotry, racism, and antisemitism, we at least have more insight as to when and where this evil began. It should be to no one’s surprise that with the Republicans’ attempts to end any civil rights legislation, the Republicans’ attempts to limit voting rights, the Republicans’ attempts to discriminate against some perceived other, that all along the way the Republicans would include Nazi’s, Fascists, Misogynists in their BIG TENT.
And amid a developing “civil war” on the right about the influence of the antisemitic far right – which has included internal dissension at Heritage – the materials show that at least seven members of a nationwide network of men-only, nativist and antisemitic clubs applied to work in the administration, revealing the extent to which the Republicans and the far-right have converged.

I must wonder how the People of Color, the Jewish Americans, Women, the Gay Log Cabin Group, must be so self-loathing as to have voted for the Republicans, thinking somehow that this political party actually honestly embraces them. Is it because they have lots of wealth, so they are assured that money will save them? Is it because they think that, somehow, they are on the higher end of the rung on the ladder that no one will see them?
We have a lot to fear in this nation, and now one more fact has found fruition, and we now should be terrified!
