and what they really want to do with Christian Nationalism. I read many portions of Project 2025 - they didn't hide it. And I live in Texas, where these folks have taken over local governments and they are snakes. They not only want to live their lives in line with what they think the bible says, but they do want to force it on everyone else as well. They are white supremacists and they are misogynist. That's just the start of it. If they have their way we will be back to white male land-owning people voting ONLY.

What I did not expect is that they would try to foist it on the rest of the world so quickly. That part has surprised me.
