I'm in Missouri where there are NO exceptions on abortion, anyone, any age can carry a gun and the repubs want to make child marriage legal! I have some of these Christian Nationalists in my family and as a child when visiting these relatives went to their church where no dancing, no rock music, girls wearing pants were frowned upon and a mandatory bible reading occurred everyday at their special school. No blacks, no immigrants, no one except the white male had any authority. My state is full of these people and they are dangerous!πŸ’™βœŒπŸŒΉπŸ˜

I know they have a majority in government in MO, but is that due to gerrymandering? Or are they truly the majority? I grew up in SC, and I think that state is full of those people, too. Like they're really the majority, which is one reason I don't really want to be there anymore. (My church and school were similar to what you describe for your relatives.)

It's gerrymandered though majority repubs down in the southern bible belt! I'm in Kansas City which along with St. Louis is democratic. Unfortunately the Christian Nationalists already have abortion banned from conception, discrimination of LGBTQ, book bans, unlimited guns and now they're destroying our public schools. I know some women in Iran and they can tell us all the dramatic way their lives changed in the 1979 revolution. I fear far too many don't understand the awful danger we are in from these fascist and their sense of superiority that they alone were chosen to rule. So glad you are telling the Christian Nationalists story so people will understand.πŸ’™

Let's hope more Americans start taking this threat seriously. So many Americans are still like, "Oh, that won't ever happen here."

Thank you, Andra Watkins, for using your personal experience to guide us in understanding the gravity of Project 2025 & how it will undermine our freedoms and all aspects of life in America unless we shut it down. Your contribution is a compelling case for action.

Wooooooohoooooooo Andra! Excellent job! You’re the perfect person for this, and I believe there’s a lot of us grateful for your work, and perseverance, and dedication. This isn’t easy, and it’s hard, hard, hard to penetrate dense-headed people’s brains.

Impossible in some cases. But we only need to persuade the persuadable.

More great info. If we could only get more people to read it or at least a directly quoted summary, I think more people would be aghast of what the plan covers.

Mi profesora de Castellano es interesante en mi proyecto. Ella tiene una hija que tiene diecicΓ©is aΓ±os.. En la semana pasada, su hija le dijo, "MamΓ‘, Vox no estΓ‘ mal." Esta problema es por todo el mundo.
