Heritage Foundation Smashing Up Over Difficult 'To Be Or Not To Be Nazis' Question

Guess which way they are leaning!

At one point in the 2024 election season, Kevin Roberts, the shiny-pated dean of intellectual soup kitchen the Heritage Foundation, claimed that the country was in the midst of a second American Revolution, one which would “remain bloodless if the Left allows it to be.” In other words, the head of the rancid dumpster from which tumbled the garbage that was Project 2025 was telling us, you damn leftists better sit your asses down and shut up while the conservatives overrun the country. Otherwise, they might have to water the tree of liberty with liberal blood.

So it is ironic that one year into Donald Trump’s second term in office, Heritage is becoming one of the Right’s most notable casualties of this alleged revolution, thanks to Roberts himself having the cerebral capacity of the peeled potato that his head resembles.

The problems that have led Heritage to this point broke into the open two months ago. That was when human boat shoe Tucker Carlson welcomed notorious antisemite Nick Fuentes to his podcast. The two had a very wholesome chat about how Fuentes isn’t an antisemite. Why, he loves The Jews! He’s just asking questions about why they control all the media and pretend the Holocaust wasn’t a mass hallucination brought on by eating spoiled gefilte fish.

Carlson was roundly condemned for platforming Fuentes. Since the human boat shoe has a loose affiliation with Heritage, Roberts was being pressured to denounce Carlson and distance the think tank from him. He refused, in a smarmy video denouncing anyone who wanted to cancel this great friend of Heritage and distract the Right from its important work of turning the entire Left into ground beef.

Then, actual surprise! The Heritage staff and some of its outside backers rebelled. All of them seemed to have been caught by surprise to find out that there were neo-Nazis and white supremacists in their political coalition, which is a little like if Gregor Samsa was totally fine with being a bug until his landlord came by to spray his apartment for roaches.

and I don't believe the BS about antisemitism of why they are leaving Heritage, some joining Pence's conservative group.

And it's hard to believe that Heritage are going further right. Project 2025 is thier template.

It's much deeper. Psychopaths do not work well together.

Fellow travellers are all well and nice, often needed for an electoral majority, and excuses can be made for authoritarian or anti-Semitic/racist views ... Until it's clear they're not just guests but at home and protected.

Ambiguity is often a coalition's friend.
