The Heritage Foundation boasts-
"The 2025 Presidential Transition Project is being organized by The Heritage Foundation and builds off Heritage’s longstanding “Mandate for Leadership,” which has been highly influential for presidential administrations since the Reagan era. Most recently, the Trump administration relied heavily on Heritage’s “Mandate” (https://www.heritage.org/impact/trump-administration-embraces-heritage-foundation-policy-recommendations) for policy guidance, embracing nearly two-thirds of Heritage’s proposals within just one year in office."

Whether or not they are building a platform on the basis of the heritage of the American Revolution, or trying to overhaul that Revolution by using legal powers to well, legalize what used to part of a normative and thus unwritten 'social contract' remains to be seen.
Trump himself had no idea what it meant to be President- he remains ignorant and resentful- , and it appears he was advised he could do pretty much anything he wanted if there was no specific clause or phrase in the Constitution, or law that prevented him from doing so, though when it came to the 2020 election he just didn't listen to anyone who said what he didn't like. This, I think is a key description of what went wrong, and 'the Left' had nothing to do with it-
""... the columnist [Christian Schneider] accused Trump of being a "sore loser," and fretted that the Supreme Court will plunge future presidents into a morass of what is legal and what is illegal after assuming office.Referring to the "social contract" civilized society requires for existence, he wrote, "This 'social contract' involves all the things we do, not because a law or rule directs us, but because these behaviors are necessary for society to function. Call them 'courtesy' or 'norms' or 'etiquette' or 'customs' or 'mores' — they are the unwritten rules that lubricate the political and social machine, allowing people of different opinions, backgrounds, and incentives to coexist."".
