The emotions of CBS’s Stephen Colbert continued to fluctuate wildly as he went from panicked on Monday to hopeful on Tuesday to solemnly imploring people to vote against Donald Trump and his “Christo-fascist future” on Wednesday’s edition of The Late Show. Also on Wednesday, Colbert welcomed Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to the show to accuse Trump of wanting to have her assassinated.
Like so many on the left, the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 has become shorthand for the supposed nightmare that will fall on America should Trump win:
Project 2025 is an obvious and chilling blueprint for a Christo-fascist future, and Trump knows that that is toxic to voters. So he has denied any knowledge of or connection to it. But no matter how hard Trump tries to distance himself, he can't change the fact that it's run by more than 200 former officials of the Trump administration and that the GOP platform has been crafted and influenced by individuals with deep ties to Project 2025 and I just hope that once voters learn everything that Trump and his cronies stand for, they will turn out in massive numbers to vote for Joe Biden or Kamala Harris or whoever the Democrats nominate and we'll finally be able to kick Donald Trump out of our lives forever.
