   Project 2025 is a nearly 1000-page step-by-step playbook that would turn America into an authoritarian nightmare and shred our freedoms.

   Trump can try to distance himself from it but it was put together by more than 20 officials he appointed in his first term.

   Don't be fooled.

     An examination of the funding behind Project 2025 is a revelation.

     It's a recipe for profitable disasters.

     "Donald Trump's Project 2025"

     That's what it is, that is what it should be labeled as.

     The Affordable Care Act was labeled as "Obamacare" by the press and the politicians.

     It's time to start labeling those policies that Trump is responsible for to him.

     Ummmmm....not quite.

     Project 2025 did not start with Trump. It is just the most recent variation of the Heritage Foundation's Far Right vision papers that have been active since the 1970's.

     And, strangely enough, what ended up as the Affordable Care Act (aka "Obamacare") began as a "free-market" based subsidized privately based healthcare proposal first piloted in Massachusetts by then GOP governor Mitt Romney, and borne by...the Heritage Foundation!!

     Life. So strange.
