An ambitious hit piece from the Washington Post has emerged, aiming to smear Donald Trump once again over a supposed connection to Project 2025. The leading stars of this media drama seem to think they can paint conservatism as some dystopian catastrophe while the rest of America simply chuckles. For those uninitiated, Project 2025 is essentially a policy wish list rolled out by the Heritage Foundation, yielding the ripe material for comedians masquerading as journalists to twist and contort into something malevolent.
The discussion about Project 2025 highlights the ongoing narrative that left-leaning media has perpetuated for decades about conservatism. If one were to believe the mainstream media, Project 2025 is synonymous with returning to dark ages where basic rights are stripped away from women and society regresses into barbarism. It’s all part of their playbook—take a legitimate policy proposal and frame it as a harbinger of doom primarily because it’s conservative.

In a bizarre twist of logic, the big-name journalist confidently asserts that the American public is programmed to echo media-induced hysteria. While unnoticed by the average consumer of news, the folks in Washington are keenly aware that repeating attacks on Trump, and Project 2025, will unerringly connect the two in the minds of voters. It seems that repetition is the strategy—paint Trump as an insane villain, link him to a harmless policy group, and watch the panic unfold in living rooms across America, all according to their carefully scripted narrative.
The Washington Post’s latest endeavor to demonize Trump relied on flimsy evidence, claiming that he once shared a private flight with a leader of Project 2025 in 2022. To a discerning reader, this stunt seems laughably vaporous. The fact that two prominent conservative figures shared a flight hardly constitutes fodder for a serious exposé, yet the Post played it like they had uncovered a conspiracy right out of a spy thriller. Meanwhile, the American public appears to find this stretching of details amusing rather than alarming.
In a stroke of irony, while the media desperately tries to keep the Project 2025 scary story alive, they inadvertently highlight their own incompetence. This campaign highlights one key advantage conservatives have over their liberal counterparts: an endless supply of absurd stories to discredit, replete with their own failed headlines and flawed narratives. The more the media throws spaghetti at the wall, hoping something sticks, the more they reveal their dish is filled with rancid leftovers.
Rather than create a meaningful discussion on policy, the Washington Post chooses to indulge in a fictional horror story. While they clearly believe they’re fighting the good fight, this farcical attempt at shocking the public only reinforces how out of touch they truly are. In the clash between truth and media-driven fiction, conservative audiences will likely continue to find the whole charade less frightening and more entertaining.
