Very. Concerning.

Everyone should download the Project 2025 manifesto from the Heritage Foundation web site (along with the articles referenced earlier). I’ve been handing out copies of this insane plan to formalize an American Taliban. It’s the scariest document ever written. I also try to mention the Project whenever I comment online.

The Democratic Party should be giving out summaries to all registered voters.

If people actually thought about what they could lose under this Christian Nationalist plan, perhaps we could have a record turn out for Biden.

Here’s just 10 things people might be missing or forced to endure should Trump be elected. There will be very long lists of NOs.

1. No Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Atheists, Agnostics or “no religious affiliation” will receive the Christian only rights.

2. No movies, books or TV shows using God’s name in vain, sexual situations, nudity, LBGTQ+ themes or actors, religions other than “Christian”.

3. Potential government employees must pass religious and loyalty tests.

4. No clothing featuring satanic images or words, nudity or words demeaning to our God.

5. Mandatory prayer and flag salute (Christian flag and U.S. flag only) at the beginning of school, work, sporting events or any public gathering of 5 or more people.

6. The “Black national anthem” shall not be played or sung at events per #5.

7. All businesses except essential services will be closed on Sundays to facilitate Christian church attendance.

8. All government entitlements shall be allotted to White Christian heterosexual families first.

9. Entertainment centers, public parks, pools, playgrounds, camping grounds, bike paths, etc. will be on first White then others basis.

10. All government programs such as SNAP, housing subsidies, low interest mortgages, etc. will be allocated to white families (husband, wife and 2 children) immediately upon need. All other family configurations must apply at a local office. Funding availability TBD.

Feel free to add you personal favorites!

"represent an attack on the fundamental freedoms of tens of millions of Americans"

You spelled 'hundreds of millions' incorrectly.

What is most disturbing is that of the presidents in my lifetime, the least “christian” like is Herr Pumpkinfuhrer.

Who is Dr Lakoff? I can't find a reference in your story. Otherwise, yes, share this around. The comparison to the taliban is apt and should be taken up and repeated, especially with the election. It will cut through for both sides of politics.

"Scary Fascist monsters believe that the country was founded as a Christian nation and that Christian values should be prioritized throughout government and public life."

So the country was founded by these "Christian Nationalists" who are so scary. The constitution and the Bill of Rights came from these slavering Fascist monsters.

Typo in your sub-headline (theat as opposed to threat)
