Project 2025 Is Here: December 4th

This week, we look at the controlled demolition of the Education Department led by the woman who wrote Heritage’s blueprint for abolishing it, the Pentagon’s move to sever ties with the Scouts over gender inclusion, and the exodus of 5,000 Justice Department employees whose farewell letters document Project 2025’s policy on purging career professionals.

New from GPAHE: What It Means to Be a “Traitor” in Trump’s America

In Trump’s America, “traitor” has become a political weapon—one that carries real-world consequences. Trump’s escalating use of terms like “sedition,” “treason,” and even calls to “hang them” has turned Democratic veterans, dissenting Republicans, and former officials into targets of coordinated harassment, swatting attempts, and federal scrutiny. As Trump broadens “traitor” to include anyone who contradicts him, online extremist groups have mobilized around his rhetoric, driving spikes in violent threats and fueling a culture where dissent is punishable by death. The result is a dangerous feedback loop between far-right amplification and real-world threats—one that is redefining the boundaries of political violence in the United States.

New from GPAHE: Heritage Lost: How Kevin Roberts Burned Down the House That Reagan Built

A sweeping internal crisis has erupted at the Heritage Foundation after its President Kevin Roberts defended Tucker Carlson’s interview with antisemite Nick Fuentes, triggering a staff revolt, donor backlash, and the collapse of Heritage’s antisemitism initiative, Project Esther. The foundation that shepherded the authoritarian Project 2025 faces a mounting challenge as former supporters abandon the group for giving cover to antisemitism.

New from GPAHE: Longtime Neo-Nazi Billy Roper’s Planning White Nationalist Homeland in Middle America

Longtime neo-Nazi organizer Billy Roper is attempting to build a whites-only enclave in the Ozarks, a project he calls “Ozarkia.” The community is rooted in Roper’s antisemitic Christian Identity religion and an apocalyptic belief in an inevitable racial civil war. After decades in the white supremacist movement—from the neo-Nazi National Alliance two decades ago to forming the Shieldwall Network—Roper is now recruiting families to move to an area in Arkansas, where they can build a white’s only community marked by militant training, burning swastikas, and openly advocating for the extinction of non-white people.

New from GPAHE: Trump’s Ethnic Cleansing Response to Immigration Challenge

Trump is ramping up his anti-immigrant campaign after being criticized by the Heritage Foundation for falling short on mass deportations. In response, Trump has embraced the ideas of European white supremacists and neo-Nazis, implanting them in U.S. policy. A Trump Thanksgiving post invoked “reverse migration” and “remigration”—terms rooted in these ideologies—while DHS echoed the language. We’re seeing the the formal mainstreaming of extremist concepts at the highest levels of American government.
