It is the progenitor for what the Heritage Foundation has become and what Project 2025 is based on. Below is a link through Twitter to a TikTok video from Heather Cox Richardson explaining it all. It's kind of long so I'll bullet point it here: The Danube Institute is in part a creation of Viktor Orban in Hungary, Trump's best bud. It lays out the groundwork for what Hungary has become, an illiberal democracy. It flies in the face of the US's current, "All men are created equal" by giving higher status to Christian white men than women, minority groups or purveyor's of other religions. The Heritage Foundation moved towards a Danube Institute model a couple of years ago from their old school Reagan ideals. Its fundamentals are what Thiel, Musk, Trump and especially Vance want here. An executive (president) above the law that can't be checked by anyone. It would only allow state sponsored media--nothing that carries an opposition message. Project 2025 is the action plan to institute these goals in the US. Those voting for Trump and any aligned republicans in this next election aren't just voting for the wacky bad Tweets guy, a wall and the 2018 economy. It's a vote for dismantling this country as we know it if they get their way. And if it doesn't happen this election, they will just keep trying.
What I've come to realize is that that is the form of government many want, including a handful here - the ones who are only capable of mustering funny and come on man emojis.
Shit they admit it. You point out something isn't "small govt" and they're like "it's okay, I love big govt when it makes libs mad"
When I first glanced at this thread I thought it said 'Danube Incident', which is a piece originally composed by Lalo Schifrin as part of his work on Mission Impossible. It was famously sampled by Portishead. It's way cooler than the Danube Institute.
