  3.  @sccxvelo  Yup, Reagan really got it going downhill fast. Nixon got a start on it with his “Southern Strategy” to give “deals” to the Southern Baptists and the evangelicals in exchange for their vote (which is exact what trump did for the evangelicals: he promised them he would do whatever he could to overturn Roe in exchange for their vote, and that’s how he won), but Reagan had the Koch brothers and the Heritage Foundation whispering in his ear, advising him on policy. Yes, that’s the same Heritage Foundation that wrote Project 2025. They had a Mandate for Leadership (which is the name for Project 2025) playbook, and they had a version for 1981, which Reagan was happy to adopt. That’s when he began serious cuts to Education, which became what we colloquially call “the dumbing down of America”. They wanted to do that because they knew that people with lower education levels are more easily manipulated. It was spectacularly successful, and that’s how we got trump and MAGA. And now Heritage wants to completely do away with the Department of Education. They are, of course, mostly Christian Nationalists. And The Federalist Society is a separate, Catholic, Uber-conservative, and equally scary group which I consider the “judicial version” of The Heritage Foundation, as they are the group (headed by Leonard Leo) that picks a list of the most conservative judges in the country to hand to whichever conservative President is in office when there is an opening on the Supreme Court, which is where trump got the names of the three he picked. Both organizations have had a well-oiled machine in place for quite a few years, and I find their machinations terrifying. And that is why we absolutely cannot allow trump to get back in the White House.
