‘A Weird Sinister Name’: Amanda Marcotte on Project 2025

‘The original goal was to sort of put it out there and hope that the MAGA shock troops could hear it’

RUSH EXCERPT:

MARCOTTE: "I think that first of all, they gave it like a weird sinister name, right? Project 2025, and so I think the original goal was to sort of put it out there and hope that the MAGA shock troops could hear it and then like progressives might hear it and get all freaked out, and then they could laugh at how they’re triggering the liberals. I don’t think they thought that ordinary people that might be swing voters in this election would hear of it, but I don’t think that that’s true anymore. We’re seeing some evidence that it’s kind of breaking the blood brain barrier and like getting on the radar of people that don’t pay super close attention to politics."
