(Part 2) [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-08-10 The second chapter is still an extended fire metaphor calling for the right to "burn it down" "It's time for a conservatism of fire". Do I really have to explain that they mean to burn down everything? Every working part of government. Every regulatory agency. The Courts. Every right specified in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and further amendments. Life ✘ Not if we oppose them Liberty ✘✘ The Liberty to be just like them The Pursuit of Happiness ✘✘✘ The literal pursuit of Christian and no other Blessedness, as God told them When the Founders spoke of “pursuit of Happiness,” what they meant might be understood today as in essence “pursuit of Blessedness.” That is, an individual must be free to live as his Creator ordained—to flourish. Our Constitution grants each of us the liberty to do not what we want, but what we ought. This pursuit of the good life is found primarily in family—marriage, children, Thanksgiving dinners, and the like. They mean to outlaw abortion on day one, by executive order, and rulings by unconfirmed interim agency heads, and then go after contraception and IVF. They have gathered applications from thousands of loyalists, and mean to install them everywhere in government, firing anyone who actually knows anything regardless of Civil Service protections. The Man Behind Project 2025’s Most Radical Plans As Donald Trump tried to disavow the politically toxic project, its director, Paul Dans, stepped down. But the plans and massive staffing database that he prepared — to replace thousands of members of the “deep state” with MAGA loyalists — remain. Under Dans, the project has assembled a database of more than 10,000 names — job candidates vetted for loyalty to Trump’s cause — who will be ready to deploy into federal agencies should he win the 2024 election. Project 2025 has delivered a toolkit, ready for use, to create a second Trump administration that would be decidedly more MAGA than the first. And much, much more.

Turns out that wasn't an off the cuff remark -- the sentiment is repeated throughout his now-delayed book. pic.twitter.com/KYTfxIbM8k — Madeline Peltz (@peltzmadeline) August 9, 2024 Heritage president's unreleased book uses revolutionary rhetoric: “It’s time for a conservatism of fire” I believe we are living at the dawn of the Second American Revolution. What is a revolution but an attempt to overthrow the institutions of society? Roberts writes in the second chapter of Dawn’s Early Light, titled “Fighting Fire with Fire.” In some ways, our situation is even more dire than during the First American Revolution. It’s time for a conservatism of fire, to burn it down and steward once again the natural order of the world, the Western order of civilization, and the American order of government. x Trump and Vance have attempted in vein to distance themselves from Project 2025. But Vance, who wrote the forward to Dawn's Early Light, has called Roberts "somebody I rely on a lot who has very good advice" https://t.co/G2XAwuB0IF — Madeline Peltz (@peltzmadeline) August 9, 2024 Trump and Vance have attempted in vain to distance themselves from Project 2025. she means. x I'm covering Project 2025, Heritage, Roberts and MAGA Media for @mmfa.

They are telling you exactly who they are. Believe them.
