Kieryn and Eve explain the updated policy agenda of the Christian right. We talk about the various tools Christian nationalists plan on using to usurp democracy regardless of who wins the presidential election this year. We dive into Project 2025, the little known and even less talked about Convention of States, and the bureaucratic mechanism at the crux of it all.

This episode was originally made as a test episode for a major media company, our producer was Mary Steffenhagen!

Eve and Kieryn chat with Cait West about her memoir, Rift, and what it’s like to leave fundamentalist Christianity only to discover that the patriarchy is alive and well in the secular world and childhood pastors became politically active Christian Nationalists.

Eve and Kieryn chat about the right-wing extremist pivot to taking down all public education institutions. We’ve talked in prior episodes about radical right-wing groups taking over K-12 education, and today we explain dog whistles of “clasical liberal” education and how even well-meaning leftists are furthering the agenda to dismantle public universities and libraries.
