The right-wing think tank behind the 900-page blueprint for Donald Trump’s administration is looking ahead to 2026 with a theme inspired by the president’s own message: a “golden age” is coming. The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 and its core policy book Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise were drawn up by a constellation of Trump aides and allies who would go on to find jobs in the administration.

Project 2025’s plans for the Republican administration included a radical expansion of executive authority, drastic cuts in spending and social services, gutting the federal workforce, stripping LGBT+ rights and implementing a sweeping anti-immigrant agenda.

By the end of the year, with the plan’s co-authors installed in key roles across the federal government, more than half of the items inside the Heritage Foundation’s mammoth wishlist have been implemented.

The group’s 2026 agenda, published earlier this year as a plan for “Restoring America’s Promise,” pledges to “engage in Washington to dismantle the deep state and in the states to restore the family, rebuild American institutions, and restore opportunity for all” as the country heads into its 250th anniversary.

"Project 2026" SHOULD BE a Democratic Party Blue Tsunami that rivals that of the atrocity of 1994, when Gingrich engineered a 60+ seat red catastrophe, so that we can wash away the ruins of these evil-doers, and sanitize our society from their lethal infection.

1. "golden age"

that's the new buzzwords because too many people know "trickle down" was a big scam

2. Poppy called it "Voodoo Economics"

and even one of the architects of trickle down - David Stockman himself - eventually called it out.

3. oooh that's right

*note, while 'voodoo economics' was a critque of Reaganomics, they didn't change much

4. "Rebranding"

[Dave Bowman]

7. "greedy old pig" is the best acronym for them and also Dump.

Although in his case I would say: greedy old perv.
