Anyone who has read just some of the blueprint for a Trump win - Project 2025 - should be terrified by its promises. For starters it's based on a platform grounded in Christian Nationalism. A February interview with a former Christian Nationalist, now a professor of religion, on NPR's Fresh Air program, led with a reference to the New Apostolic Reformation, a group that "has become influential in American government and parts of the judicial system." Their flag hangs outside the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson's office (and upside down at Justice Alito's homes).

One of its key players is Valerie Huber, who presides over the cleverly named Institute for Women's Health, which sponsored "International Safe Abortion Day" when the Declaration was signed. Huber is a crusader who has made a career out of fighting abortion and sex education. In her speech at the Declaration event, she accused the UN and WHO of "using their soft power to pressure nations into making ideological concessions" and "[advancing] their pro-abortion agenda under the guise of helping women." She is one of the contributors to. Project 2025.

Our country has done this kind of thing before and been victorious. We can do it again.
