So much for Republicans being the party of limited government. The next GOP administration wants to dictate what your family should look like.

This is an adapted excerpt from the Aug. 11 episode of “Velshi.”

Project 2025, the authoritarian blueprint for dismantling federal agencies in the next Republican presidency, has a lot of thoughts on what your private relationships should look like and whom you should marry.

In fact, a Christian nationalist vision of the family is a key centerpiece of the 922-page manual. It describes proposals for the American family as “central to the next conservative President’s agenda:"

Every threat to family stability must be confronted. This resolve should color each of our policies. The Dobbs decision is just the beginning ... We must replace ‘woke’ nonsense with a healthy vision starting with the American family.

According to Project 2025, not all families are created equal. On page 451, it defines the “right” kind of family as “a married mother, father, and their children.” It claims this is the “foundation of a well-ordered nation and a healthy society.”

Promoting this biblical concept of family is cited as a top-five goal for a revamped Department of Health and Human Services, which it criticizes for “having lost its way” by “promoting equity in everything we do.”

The document says efforts at promoting diversity should be repealed and replaced with policies that support what it calls the formation of “stable, married, nuclear families.”

This is so lame.
