"Taking Project 2025 personally" with Andra Watkins

Project 2025 is a religious document. It was written by a bunch of fanatics who will do anything to make sure you have the right to practice their religion and only their religion. This 1,000-page plan for a full rollout of fascism developed by the elite of the Republican establishment isn't just corporate authoritarianism laundered as "small-government conservatism." It's a messianic mission statement. And you can't understand just how overwhelming and ominous that mission is unless you've been reading Andra Watkins.  Andra's Substack, "How Project 2025 Will Ruin YOUR Life," delves into this document's Biblicaly-coded dictates to show how it intends to dominate our lives.  Even more importantly, she shows how it's already happening.  We spoke to Andra to get her personal perspective on the Christian Nationalist mindset behind Project 2025 and how she escaped it herself. You can also help expose Project 2025. This new tool, "Project 2025: Not on Our Watch," developed by Stop the Coup 2025, Democracy Labs, and Andra, allows you to help document specific examples of Project 2025 in the wild.
