Project 2025 Book Targets Dogs, their Parks and Parents

JD Vance has belittled and castigated women who share their homes with cats. Now he’s going after dogs and the people who love them.

Really? Could Vance select a more unpopular avenue to travel than disparaging Americans’ enjoyment and love of the family dog?

JD Vance has written the Forward in a new book based on Project 2025 titled Dawn’s Early Light, authored by Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation (Unsurprisingly, the publication of this book has been delayed until after the November election).

In the book, Roberts drills down on his dogma that childless people – worse, those who choose to nurture dogs instead – are miserable, angry, unhappy people. Because they don’t have progeny and, therefore, no stake in the future of the country, he shares Vance’s opinion that they should forgo the right to vote in our elections.

Sixty-five million American households have family dogs. Talk about casting a hateful broad net across the motivations of an enormous segment of the American population. As a politician, Vance and Robert’s proclamation would have millions of Americans demanding they serve time in the doghouse while their family pooches reside indoors where they belong.

Vance and Roberts are so mad that millions of Americans cherish their dogs over children they target an expansive Washington D.C. dog park, describing the mood of the people gathered there as dark and bleak all because they prize their dogs in the absence of children.

Roberts rails about how the liberal elites got this dog park built instead of providing playgrounds for children. Funnily enough, there is a playground right next to the dog park.

It may be anecdotal, but my experience in dog parks is the exact opposite. We gather for fun and friendship. Our dogs' antics make us laugh and exchange stories about their origins. We help each other solve dog-related problems or give insight into our dogs' care and feeding. Yes, we are a bunch of prideful, pitiful dog parents.

Vance and Robert’s anti-dog rant shows that they are nothing but a know-nothings.

In their deranged vision of an America where fertile adults are strongly encouraged to marry each other and then busy themselves procreating baby after baby, it is the penultimate dystopic society of absolute control over the population. Our personal lives and freedom end when we become parents, meaning men as well as women are subjugated to the will of those in power. Personal freedoms and rights are done away with because this unsatiated society requires perpetual quantities of fresh, human-baby blood.

Vance and his ilk are puffed up with superiority, yet the American people have summarily rejected their utopian dream of autocratic control over our daily lives. The more we have learned about Project 2025, the more Vance, Trump, and their sycophants try to run away from it.

JD Vance and Roberts have let the cat out of the bag (thank you very much), and they can’t hide from their loathsome, unpopular beliefs.

I can almost hear the two of them shudder with revulsion at these words by famous comedian and actor Ricky Gervais: “If the kindest souls were rewarded with the longest lives, dogs would outlive us all.”
