P2025 Promise 1: Restore the Family and Protect our Children
Where we explore the 4 Christo-fascist promises and what they mean for YOU (Scroll to the end to listen)
Since we have many new subscribers (WELCOME!), I’m re-running my February series on the Christo-fascist language embedded in Project 2025’s four promises. It’s critical reading to grasp P2025’s theocratic insidiousness.
The framers of Project 2025 center their 1,000-page Christo-fascist manifesto around four promises:
Promise 1: Restore the family as the centerpiece of American life and protect our children.
Promise 2: Dismantle the administrative state and return self-governance to the American people.
Promise 3: Defend our nation’s sovereignty, borders, and bounty against global threats.
Promise 4: Secure our God-given individual rights to live freely—what our Constitution calls “the Blessings of Liberty.”

For the balance of the week, we will drill down into the Christo-fascist language underpinning these four promises. They roll it out immediately.
What makes these four pieces of the conservative promise so valuable to the next President is that they cut through superficial distractions and focus on the moral and foundational challenges America faces.

Whenever a Christian Nationalist talks about morality, they are referring to what morality means to them.
As we unpack their four promises, keep their definition of morality in mind: The Bible is God’s perfect law. Anything that violates God’s perfect law is immoral and must be destroyed. (See “What is a Christian Nationalist” Belief 3 HERE.)
Let’s examine what that means in Promise 1: Restore the family as the centerpiece of American life and protect our children.
The next conservative President must get to work pursuing the true priority of politics—the well-being of the American family. In many ways, the entire point of centralizing political power is to subvert the family. Its purpose is to replace people’s natural loves and loyalties with unnatural ones.

The use of the words natural and unnatural is deliberate. It means to use the Bible as the basis for our laws and is drawn from these Bible verses:
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
Romans 1:26-27 KJV
(Related: This is one of the verses they quote to condemn homosexuality. Or why they believe a woman’s natural use is to have children.)
Christian Nationalists define marriage as a covenant between one man and one unrelated woman. (We explored that language in the post “Project 2025: What Is a Family?” HERE.)
But they also point to the Creation story and the Garden of Eden as justification for this view. They believe God created everything in 6 literal 24-hour days and rested on the seventh day.
In the Bible story, God created Adam first. But Adam was lonely in paradise. Walking and talking with God wasn’t enough. So God caused Adam to sleep, took one of his ribs, and crafted Eve. God envisioned a woman to be man’s companion in life.
My pastor used to say, “God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve,” as justification for defining marriage as between one man and one unrelated woman, as well as for condemning homosexuality as unnatural. Because remember, to them God’s law is perfect. Any law that violates God’s law must be destroyed.
It’s no coincidence that the framers of Project 2025 use the words natural and unnatural on page 4 of their Christo-fascist manifesto. It underscores every policy recommendation they make. They mean to impose their definition of morality, as well as their definition of family, on every American.

RE: the family. I always get the feeling that childless couples don't count or are regarded as "unnatural." Am also struck by the phrase "our children." Just their own children or anyone's? I'm betting on the later interpretation.
Thank you for keeping us informed. This is so evil.
