Paid Subscriber Testimonials
In case their words give more readers incentive to upgrade during our special; plus a special announcement (No voice recording today)
I’m extending our “20% off FOREVER” promotion to make this Substack paywall-free! As of this writing, almost 100 of my 10,600 subscribers have upgraded to PAID. THANK YOU! Please support this effort to make this Substack and archives paywall-free and open for all in the lead-up to the election (1 October - 5 November 2024.) Use the FREE FOR ALL button below to support this work for as little as $6.40 and provide free access for all during this critical time.
One of my readers suggested that I share paid subscriber testimonials. GREAT IDEA! Plus, I’ve got a surprise for paid subscribers at the end!
"Thank you for your work. Without your essays, I would have no idea what JD Vance is talking about."
"The translation of Christian Nationalist language to the language we all speak is something no one else is doing so effectively. Thank you."
"I grew up southern baptist during the fundamentalist takeover years. What's happening now reminds me of their strategy."
"Dear Andra, Thank you for sharing your insights about the dangers of Project 2025. Your translation of Christian Nationalist speech is so valuable to those of us who didn't grow up in that belief system.”
"Andra, Thank you for clarifying the true intent behind Project 2025 and who all the players are."
"Best Substack around to inform you about the real intentions of those behind Project 2025 and the massive dangers of this blueprint for theocracy.”
"You are doing a great job of disseminating the vital information about this - the most important election of our life."
"I admire your courage, your research and writing skills, and your dedication to saving our democracy. Thank you for educating the American public.”
"Andra Watkins insight concerning Christian Nationalism is unparalleled. She lays it out simply and comprehensively. If we want to understand the direction Christian conservatives and the right wing extremists are going in, we need to be informed so we can avoid it becoming a part of our government, and losing the separation of church and state that is fundamental to our freedom."
"I value your ability to translate Project 2025's coded Christian Nationalist language and concepts for Substack readers. Your posts show how bad things will get if the Heritage Foundation and its allies are able to make their dream a dark reality. Thank you for doing what you do!"
"Thanks for doing this work. This and subsequent elections will not be about candidates, it is about stopping Christian Nationalism. Sad to say, one election victory for the good guys will not be enough. It will take a generation. After that, as before in our history, they'll be back."
"I think the work you are doing is desperately needed. It is so hard to get people to listen and understand how critically important this election is and the threat of Christian Nationalism."
"Christian nationalists have subverted, cherry picked, willfully misrepresented and misinterpreted the Bible to obtain power and control to force others to obey what they say is “right”. We need to be able to counter the individuals and politicians who espouse this point of view to prevent the passage of state and federal laws that deprive us of hard won freedoms and eliminate democracy."
"Incredible work!"
I could include many, many more, but I hope readers get the idea.
And now, for a SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
I’m having a chat with John Pavlovitz.
I earned this one-on-one chat with John because so many people have subscribed to his Substack “The Beautiful Mess” due to my sharing it.
But instead of making it about me, we decided to record it and share our conversation with all of you! Paid Subscribers will have exclusive access.
Be on the lookout for my conversation with John Pavlovitz.
Happy to learn that so many readers have stepped up to support this podcast. Thanks to you I've been ahead for the curve on the current Christian Nationalist coup attempt. As an Ohioan your shared knowledge helps me see how so many efforts to subvert democracy are tied together into an overall strategy. Your efforts are bearing fruit; many more people are aware of the playbook and know that making it real is not what they want for themselves or their children.
THIS IS SO EXCITING! I'M SO SORRY I'M SHOUTING! I love to read pieces from John Pavlovitz! Thank you for putting yourself out there to serve the people of our country, Andra. I'm so thankful that this work is happening, and I want all and any that WILL read it to have the opportunity to do so!
