Vance has deep ties to the Heritage Foundation, and in particular to Kevin Roberts, who has been president of the right-wing think tank since 2021 and is the architect of Project 2025. Vance has praised Roberts for helping to turn the organization "into the de facto institutional home of Trumpism" and has endorsed elements of Project 2025. Vance is also the author of the foreword to Roberts's upcoming book, Dawn's Early Light, which The New Republic has obtained in full even though the book's publisher, HarperCollins's Broadside Books, has apparently tried to suppress it amid the scrutiny of Project 2025 and Vance's ties to Roberts. The subtitle and cover of Roberts's book were softened as scrutiny of the Trump campaign's ties to Project 2025 grew. The book, which is scheduled to be published on September 24, was originally announced with the subtitle "Burning Down Washington to Save America" and featured a match on the center of its cover. The subtitle is now "Taking Back Washington to Save America," and the match is nowhere to be seen. Promotional language invoking conservatives on the "warpath" to "burn down ... institutions" like the FBI, the Department of Justice, and universities has also been removed or toned down, though it is still present in some sales pages. But the inspiration for that extreme language can be found in Vance's foreword, which ends with a call for followers to "circle the wagons and load the muskets," and describes Roberts's ideas as an "essential weapon" in the "fights that lay [sic] ahead." (The New Republic downloaded Dawn's Early Light earlier this month from NetGalley, which provides advance copies of books to reviewers and booksellers. Copies were removed from the platform earlier this month.)

I am still amazed they actually published Project 2025 online.
It just shows the hubris and total lack of awareness of the maga movement.
They apparently really believed that their horrid misogynist bigoted xenophobic anti American behavior was becoming normalized and that the People would be cheering in the streets?
Or maybe because they would never bother to read a 900 page manifesto that no one else would.
Just more weirdness from the weirdo party I guess.

MAGA is the ugly that will never wash off. They had to go all in because they knew they could never live it down.
