Donnie Dimwit may think he can "escape" his ties to this, but it's been wrapped around his neck. People I know who don't pay attention to politics are paying attention to Project 2025.

I hope to tie it around the necks of the entire Republican Party. It is their true platform, penned with their billionaire overlords.

Speaking of Project 2025, be careful if you are mentioning it on Facebook. The "fact-checker" there is also employed by a conservative organization and will label mostly everything you post about it as "false information." For example, you can't say Project 2025 will "cut" Social Security as it will be labelled as false information. It's a matter of semantics. Technically, they are not going to "cut" SS, they are going to stop funding it and let it run dry. The end result is the same of course, but you can't say they are planning to "cut" social security.

It helps to search for "The Dispatch" on Facebook and block them.

Thank you for shedding light on the effect of this mind control and how it impacted you, but more for sharing it with people who would benefit from having light let in. I can only think it is hard for mothers raised as you were to know how to deal with their daughters. Most want the best, and do not want a child traumatized. But it is hard to break free from some of that constant harping on themes to know what is right for your own child. Thank you for being brave.

In my experience, this is the motherhood template offered to Christian Nationalist moms. It breeds narcissism and patriarchy.

It is so frightening. I can see a herd of inadequate, emasculated, white Christian Nationalists (no connection to Christ), licking their lips at the idea of putting women, barefoot and pregnant, back in the home, while they go out and play all day and night at being things like VP. I guess you can still be a good father even if you are absentee ( how does that square with Vance’s origin story—he didn’t think much of absentee parents, but is happy to be one). Please expose this horrible stuff as soon and as fully as possible. You have my moral support, and more if you need it.

Well stated, factual and truthful in its presentation as a fanatical grab by exvangelical authoritarians to destroy our homeland and country.

💙👍🙏Scott for having Andra on interview!🙏 She’s such a great writer/author, I feel blessed in her presence & voice. Project 2025 has been around a long x & it took brave people like Andra to loudly wave it at us forgetful public. This is a SERIOUS issue that will continue to gut our government institutions, until we, the electorate, bare it, 2025, for all to see. This document is not what out forefathers designed, but warned us against occurrring🫵

Thank you so much for bringing Andra on🙏💙👍

Thank you, Scott, for amplifying Andra's work, and thank you, Andra, for sharing your personal experience in growing up in a Christian nationalist community and how important it is to spread the word about Project 2025.

I included a link to Andra's substack in a Resource Page on Project 2025 that I compiled for Swing Blue Alliance, a volunteer-run grassroots Democratic group in the Boston area. The Resource Page includes links to other groups that have been doing education around Project 2025 like the Center for American Progress (CAP), Media Matters, the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE), Joyce Vance and others. There is a link to a 3 hour CAP forum featuring Congressman Jamie Raskin and state officials from Florida, Texas and Iowa. It also links to a terrific coalition of suburban women, Red Wine and Blue, who have been organizing to spread the word about Project 2025. They have developed a one-page description and a site with short items on Project 2025 that can be copied onto one's Instagram, Facebook, X and other sites.

Please forward these links to your networks as when people learn about Project 2025, they are horrified and decide to vote Democratic, and we have very little time to reach people. Here is the link to the resource page: https://swingbluealliance.org/project-2025-resouces/

and Red Wine and Blue: https://redwine.blue/project2025/

What I like most about Andra's Substack is how she breaks down each topic to show how people will be directly affected in their own lives by each of these draconian proposals. Another person who does this very effectively is David Pepper in his Substack newsletter Pepperspectives -- David is writing a book "2025" in which each chapter is a fictionalized version of a person who is caught up in Project 2025 (i.e. a nurse who has to stop IFV treatments, a deported immigrant, etc). He posts a new chapter every week onto his Substack newsletter. They are riveting. https://davidpepper.substack.com/

Fascinating! The Christian nationalist language in Project 2025 may be something a lot of people have not noticed.

Then again, given that Trump's Project 2025 makes the president a virtual king and TAKES AWAY THE INDEPENDENCE of the Justice Dept., coupled with the many, many destructive actions Project 2025 defines-- people would be forgiven if they didn't notice Christian Nationalist phraseology and priorities.

This interview should be put out as op-ed in major newspapers. Noone seems to be focusing on the erasure of science that Project 2025 would ensure, and how that fits into Christian Nationalism.

The far right’s new authoritarian playbook WOULD usher in a sweeping array of dangerous policies.

The Christian Nationalism and dictator/king/removal of DOJ independence go hand-in-hand.

Thank you for having Andra on today. Her background alone is so interesting.Its inspiring that she went from such a limited education because of her upbringing to learn how to find the truth through education. I have subscribed with her and will look for her books.

I meant to say I didn’t know you were the one to sound the alarm about the massacre in My Lai . I still remember when the story broke. My family and I were horrified. Although we honored our troops, we wanted our soldiers to come home. Another disturbing era.
