Radical incrementalism is what Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, recommends as a working philosophy for conservatives. It's stacking one partial win on another and then another.
They’ve made many horrible inroads so far - Dobbs, book bans, anti-transgender rights, loading SCOTUS with right-wing justices, etc., etc. Vote Blue all the way down the ballot!
I totally agree. People are beginning to learn about Project 2025 and that's good. Not all of them are aware how long this has been a work in progress.
There is reason for hope because more people are learning about Project 2025. Several weeks ago Joyce Vance reported that only about thirty percent of voters had heard about it. A recent article has that number above fifty percent and climbing. We're going in the right direction.
I had been thinking about this “incrementalism”for awhile. I think you are spot on. It really hit me a few hours ago when I heard Shay Dee Vance spew about a postmenopausal woman’s place in society. Crazy, backwards garbage being introduced into the mainstream is nuts now, but over time, it becomes normalized. This is a constant battle.

So, they gather their marbles as they can and proceed to destruction of Democracy in increments. Thank you for this perspective.

Incremental radicalization, interesting.

Yes, I agree. And it's almost a full time job sorting the truth from the falsehoods. The information highway also contains a ton of disinformation.
