The strangest thing about platforms is how quickly they learn to mimic pulpits. Andra noted that “it feels like Facebook circa 2016,” and anyone who remembers how discovery vanished then can hear the warning in it now. When distribution is throttled, what looks like a neutral algorithm becomes a filter for power. Sam added that milestones don’t mean much if the system itself is built to silence the inconvenient.
Childhood lessons make that silencing easier to recognize. “It was a white Christian nationalist church and school,” Andra said of the world that shaped her, where textbooks and sermons blurred into political training. What looked like worship was really indoctrination into hierarchy, race, and control. The point isn’t nostalgia or memoir — it’s proof that these structures have been normalizing obedience for generations.

Project 2025 read like déjà vu for anyone with that background. Andra remembered opening the Heritage document and “within the first 10 pages, I recognized the language I was raised in.” It’s why the military theatrics of the past week aren’t just spectacle but prewritten script. The policy paper doubles as a catechism: state power justified through scripture and certainty. Seeing it clearly means refusing to call it anything else.
Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts embodies that certainty, brandishing a promise of revolution that Andra translated bluntly: “If you resist, we will kill you.” What matters isn’t his Catholic faction versus her Baptist one — it’s that every wing of the movement treats coercion as proof of belief. Sam pressed on the absurdity of needing to force faith, and Andra drew the line between faith and certainty itself. What authoritarianism demands is obedience without doubt; what democracy requires is doubt without obedience.
