Yeah. My children's father died last June. Social Security survivor benefits are essential to caring for my children.

Many of us (not me, thank god) were funneled into colleges like Patrick Henry, Bob Jones, and Liberty. Boys were mostly encouraged to go into ministry, law, or politics. Internships with right wing actors began early. (4/6)

Our education glorified western civilization, the dominion of man, and we were routinely told that scientific ideas - e.g. evolution, climate change, etc... were lies meant to deny God's power. (3/6)

We knew the language, justification, and goals of Project 2025 before it was even written. We were prepared to be "persecuted," instructed to have babies to build god's army, support our husbands by being helpmeets. We were terrified by "the new world order" and prepared to die for god. (2/6)
