We all remember Project 2025 like it was our favorite end-of-the-world Netflix series. It was a thing that scared most of us - especially we-of-the-chronically-online - and then, well, Trump was elected. At Lincoln Square, we’ve been sounding the alarm for a long time that White Christian Nationalism was the blood and body of the Trump regime’s efforts to undermine our democracy and destroy our freedoms.
But even we are surprised by how quickly and openly those at the top are moving to reshape our society into something so grotesque that empathy is a sin. Do not love your neighbors, they imply. Deport them.
If you haven’t seen our conversations with the amazing Andra Watkins, you should go back and watch. Having grown up as a White Christian Nationalist and broken free, her insights are both alarming and grounding (THIS is a particularly good conversation).
But she’s not the only one screaming that the house is on fire. Maya’s conversation with Tim Whitaker, founder of The New Evangelicals, looks at how figures like Charlie Kirk and Allie Stuckey are actively building Christianity into a weapon aimed at all of us. Even you.
Thank you, Andra Watkins, Michael Fanone, Cathy R. Payne, Theresa Lease, Camilla Slater, Los Gatos Sin Madrid, and many others for tuning in tonight! Join us for my next live video in the app.
