About this listen
In this episode of Lest We Forget History, Lillian Cauldwell highlights journalist Adam Lynch’s report on Project 2025—a bold plan that challenged the limits of democracy itself. Lynch describes how its chief architect, Russell Vought, envisioned reshaping government into a hierarchy reminiscent of a monarchy—an echo of Mad King George III that the Founding Fathers once rose against.
Even some of the movement’s most devoted supporters have quietly stepped back, realizing how far this vision drifted from the nation’s core ideals. A recent confrontation involving a liberal judge exposed those cracks, showing how ambition and hubris can undo even the most calculated plans.
As Virginia Heffernan of The New Republic observed, this unraveling wasn’t caused by one scandal—it was history itself pushing back. Courts, citizens, and civic memory joined forces to slow the march toward tyranny, reaffirming that democracy endures because people remember.
This episode stands as both warning and reassurance: democracy may bend under pressure, but it does not easily break. Listen as Lillian Cauldwell connects the lessons of the past to the struggles of the present—because freedom survives only when we refuse to forget.
