...presumably decided to suck up to Trumpism and is now going overtly fash. It's hard to believe this is the same Heritage Foundation that wrote so much of the policy of the "Reagan Revolution". Sure, their ideas sucked and didn't work in the real world, but back in the '80s, they would never have stooped this low. Now they're on YouTube right along with the other fash "think" tanks like PragerU and Claremont Institute, putting out execrable culture-war garbage about "wokeness" and "restoring 'American Greatness' ".

I don't know what prompted the Heritage Foundation to waste money on a frivolous lawsuit over Prince Harry's immigration status (I'm pretty sure that the House of Windsor can fill out government forms competently), but I do know that Harry and Meghan are on the receiving end of a lot of hate on alt-right cesspools like Reddit and 4Chan. You can probably guess why that is.

Apparently, the Heritage Foundation wants a piece of that alt-right basement-dwelling incel action.
