The biggest threat to the United States isn't Al Qaeda or the Taliban. It's the Heritage Foundation.

[Initech]

And the Federalist Society. Project 2025 is the threat. It's Sharia and Biblical law combined with authoritarianism rolled into one. As long as this wretched abomination of an organization exists, they will do to the United States what Osama Bin Laden only dreamed of doing.

[malaise]

1. Agree

It is the new KKK

[lees1975]

2. Evangelicals are headed in reverse as far as their membership is concerned.

Turning to attempts to use government power to "bring revival" which should be translated "bring money to our pockets" is an admission of the complete failure of their evangelistic efforts.

[Dem4life1234]

3. This!

Christian fanaticism ruined this country!

[TBF]

4. 100% - nt

[PatSeg]

5. Yes and they'd like us to believe groups like Al Qaeda or

the Taliban are a great threat. Classic diversionary tactic and they've been using it for years. Be very afraid of the "other" while ignoring the grave threats from within.

[dlk]

6. The Heritage Foundation should be categorized as a terrorist organization

They want to overthrow our government. Leonard Leo’s cabal isn’t far behind.

[GiqueCee]

27. And Leonard Leo...

... should be hunted down just like Osama bin Laden. He's just as evil, and just as guilty of Crimes Against Humanity.

[JohnSJ]

7. I would also add the Federalist Society and Leo Leonard to that list.

[Raiden70]

8. Don't forget the CPI

CPI (Conservative Partnership Institute)

"The Center for Renewing America is one of roughly two dozen right-wing groups that have emerged in Washington since Trump left office. What unites them [emphasis added] is a wealthy network [emphasis added] based on Capitol Hill called the Conservative Partnership Institute [emphasis added], which many in Washington regard as the next Trump Administration in waiting."

– Jonathan Blitzer, The New Yorker

[republianmushroom]

9. Yup

[BradBo]

10. Trump, the biggest threat to my family.

[wnylib]

12. Not Trump so much as the people that he represents.

Trump is the face of the movement that is shown to the public for votes. The movement behind him is the main threat. Without their backing and support, Trump would be nothing but a crude talking politician wannabe.

[Dem4life1234]

13. This!

It's the people behind him.

The orange thug is nothing but an opportunist. He would have stuck with the Dem party if it benefitted him, but he found his home with those thugs.

[Beck23]

11. And Citizens United

This opened the door to corporate money in politics. This is called corruption in other democracies. Trump is assembling his team oligarchs to rule the US. He is already including Elon Musk on calls with foreign leaders.

We also need to keep an eye on Bezos. He prevented the Washington Post from from endorsing Harris. One of his businesses is Amazon Web Services (AWS). This is one of several Cloud Service Provides (CSPs) that hosts digital data in the cloud. The AWS contracts with the government amount to many billions of dollars. Look for Trump to involve Bezos in government decisions as well.

[Irish_Dem]

14. Our own citizens have been far more treacherous than we realized.

High treason. All legal.

[Hekate]

15. Agree. The real Enemy Within.

[LisaM]

16. You act as if they aren't connected. They are.

Unfettered market capitalism has been colluding with right wing evangelical religions since at least the late 70s. The Heritage Foundation is ready, willing, and able to harness the fear and patriarchy endemic to conservative religions through the vote.

[OldBaldy1701E]

26. BINGO!

But, I am afraid you are wasting your time. Most people refuse to accept that unfettered capitalism is one of the biggest threats to society that we face. A just and decent society and out of control capitalism are absolutely not compatible. Yet we refuse to see this and, in fact, continue to force them together for the sake of the few who want to keep their wealth and power. And, thanks to their constant propaganda, we continue to help them do it.

[orwell]

17. Don't worry...

...Emperor dRump assures us that he will eliminate "the enemy within..."

Surely he means the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society!

On wait...what?

Nevermind...

[NNadir]

18. The "Federalist Society" has just put an end to the US Constitution. Their name is Orwellian Doublespeak.

This is also true of the Heritage Foundation. They don't give a fuck about our national heritage; they've just trashed it.

[Initech]

22. Yup, it started with putting a drunken rapist on SCOTUS.

And overturning Roe V Wade out of spite. Now it ends with another term of the fucking asshole in charge. If there's two organizations to blame, it's the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society. May they both rot in the hottest circle of hell.

[CrispyQ]

19. I asked a right-wing relative if he'd heard of Project 2025,

& told him that they wanted to do away with the Department of Education & the FDIC & asked if he was he okay with that. He wrote back that he didn't know much about it, but it must have solid roots having been started at the Heritage Foundation & now it's just gotten off track. Also, emotional liberals were overreacting & dem politicians were squawking about it to get media attention. I went to the Wikipedia page for Project 2025 & in the box on the right hand of the page it mentions Heritage Foundation & I'll bet that's all he ever read of it & he had never heard of it till I asked. This is a college educated man who worked as a professional for many, many years. Voted Trump three times, I'm absolutely positive.

[Evolve Dammit]

20. Agreed. And having Y'all Qaeda to be the goons on the ground. MAGA just wants blood. n/t

[JoseBalow]

21. Once the detention apparatus is in place, none of us will be safe

As soon as I see people getting rounded up into camps, I'm outta here.

[markodochartaigh]

23. Lincoln, 1838:

"At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."

[moniss]

24. All of these "non-profit"

groups are a cancer on this country and there are hundreds and hundreds of them.

[Martin68]

25. Yes the Heritage Foundation is a great threat. The right wing media is a far greater threat because it distorts reality

to the point that MAGAts really don't know what is true because they are fed lies about the economy, crime, immigration, taxes, on a daily basis. The Heritage Foundation is a threat because it advises the Trump administration. The right wing media is a greater threat because it influences the votes of millions of people.
