I personally know the people behind the insane Trump/Vance/Project 2025 movement. You have no idea how radical they are. They are very serious. Are you?
The way to stop them is to vote! And to have your friends vote. And if they (the radical right) don't accept the results we'll still have the power of the President to stave off any attacks. I'm tired of Democrats and progressives not being aggressive enough.. This is a fight and no one else is going to fight it.. That's what these people are hoping for..
Frank, thank you for sharing. You're a wealth of information. The fact that you know these players and were present when this dark side of history began astounds us.
So Grateful you've chosen to jump ship and lead the way, shining a light on their strategies and plans, with your past experience and knowledge.
As a bizarre side note, if I may, I want you to know & your readers my hub and I are reading 'James Dobson's War on America' by Gil Alexander - Monterle, pub 1987... Terrifying as to the SERIOUS relevance of what we're seeing today in politics. Here's a quote from one who reviewed the book:
"James Dobson and FOF (Focus on the Family) represent the greatest threat to constitutional liberties in our time." B.Lynn
Incredibly true. Right?!
We have to remain diligent. With gratitude for you and others who are leading the way to save America's Democracy.
Eons ago, I read your tabloid, as I was at that time newly converted to Catholicism, but also a conservative who read widely, and I had admired your father. Now I can't remember the name of the tabloid, and Google isn't giving it to me, but it blazed with righteous indignation. That is a quality that I admire to this day, though my political and sociological beliefs shifted along the same lines yours did. I know that you know whereof you speak about this so-called Christian nationalism, and I know you're right about Opus Dei. Now that I've found you here, via a retweeted post yesterday, I'll follow you again.
Book of Enoch I, deliberately excluded from the Canon. New edition edited by Timothy Alberino.
Also, Dean Henderson books.
Have you heard of gnosticism? Major battle with early Christianity. Gnostics fear death as flesh/the body and its corruption. To "solve" this problem, they dualism their own flesh into mind-body dualism, assigning the body to females and the mind to males. A psychological trick or pathology. Gnostics "cast" death onto the other/females, reserving the mind/life for themselves.
Notice they refuse the real solution to death, Jesus and the Resurrection.
They refuse faith. They would rather sin and do the projection of sinning into females.
Your virulent anti-Catholicism must be a hangover of your crazy upbringing amongst radical Protestants. What you keep bringing up is hundreds of years old for the most part with an admixture of contemporary radicalism such as Opus Dei. It seems s undeniable that there is a rise in intolerance now in Catholicism but it seems to be mirrored by the same growth in all religions, including Protestantism. The invective you spew on Catholicism is not a good look for you.

These extremists are horrifying. What will it take to wake people up?
And the truth is they're anti American and anti Christian as well
Thank you Frank schaeffer for sharing your thoughts 🙏 I do appreciate it
God forbid 🚫 🙏 that Trump gets return to the oval office

JD Vance is a two faced Hypocrite like Trump himself
