The Trump administration appears poised to pursue another major goal of the conservative policy blueprint, Project 2025 — restoring traditional families. And it may start with convincing women to have more children. Author David Graham joins The 11th Hour to discuss his new book, "The Project: How Project 2025 Is Reshaping America." - Aired on 04/22/2025.


When I visited the USSR back in the late '80s (with my grandmother's peace group), this was the policy in the USSR, ethnically Russian mothers who had more than five children were honored and got a bonus.

1. Only for white babies.

[Rhiannon12866]

3. Yup, that's the way it was in the former USSR

[rpannier]

2. Ooooh a bonus. Which will not offset the amount it costs to raise a child

He's flailing and most people know it.
This bonus will go the way of felon musk's 5k to every american from savings due to his purges

4. What's that No IQ pushing this for? Who would

want to bring a kid into the America Mump is working on Destroying?

Trying to change the subject from his Fascist Failures to ... I need more Lives to Ruin?

[Rhiannon12866]

5. And what if these pregnancies go wrong? It could happen. Where's the emergency health care??

Will these women be left to die as some already have? Or accused of attempting an abortion and criminally charged? As you said, this is a no win situation...

[Cha]

7. Precisely! TY for listing all of those Reasons to Not... Anyone would be crazy

to have a baby because Mump told them to do it.

It seems like he throws shite out there to see if he can get his cult to go for it.. like a Demented Jim Jones clone.

9. That's exactly who he needs to be compared to, the danger he's putting us in is similar to the Kool-Aid

And too many are still following him blindly - believing his lies.

6. Ask RFK, Jr. if autistic babies will count . . . . . .

[Botany]

8. Hitler and the Soviet Union had similar programs

Have enough babies and mommy gets a medal.

[Cha]

10. So Hitler's Playbook.. It Figues!

[Rhiannon12866]

11. I didn't know about Hitler, but as I said, I remember hearing about this policy in the USSR

And this was before Putin, in those days it was Gorbachev who tried to institute more progressive policies. But he got a lot of pushback from the Soviet hardliners - because of all the pressure he was getting from then-U.S. President Reagan - a Republican.
