He's the president of the fucking Heritage Foundation. That makes him the head of one of the most influential political organisations in the country.

That's much more important than what his PhD was on.

O rly? Do tell how they are so influential-- without quoting their marketing material.

And if they have any influence whatsoever, frankly that makes it worse.

Yes, it makes it much worse. It is absolutely a serious plan and you should worry about it.

They've created substantial policy for Regan, Clinton, and Trump. You should also pay attention to the shear amount of money they have. They spend 80 million plus in a year on lobbying.

You have no idea what you're talking about. The HF literally runs the Republican party via bribes from billionaires and corporations. They are extremely well funded, and extremely motivated. They exist solely to destroy any obstacle to acquiring as much wealth as possible. They worship wealth. They are Mammonites.

The Heritage Foundation has been providing fascists with talking points and directing policy.
