Episode: Trump Admin Coming For Women's Right to Vote Alongside Project 2026
Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
Date: March 22, 2026

Overview

This episode centers on escalating threats to women's rights in the United States, focusing on the Trump administration’s alleged alignment with Christian nationalist ideologies and the promotion of Project 2026. Jennifer and Angie discuss growing attacks on women’s autonomy, with a particular spotlight on calls to rescind the 19th Amendment and the resurgence of patriarchal values. Through direct quotes, personal anecdotes, and sharp comedic critique, the hosts unpack how these political movements impact women, especially in conservative, religious communities.

Key Discussion Points

1. The Next Conservative Target: Women’s Voting Rights

• Host 2 (Angie) warns Republican women:
  • “To all the Republican white women that continue to vote for Republicans and Christian nationalism … they are coming for you. They're coming for your daughters. Abortion rights were not enough.” (00:51)
• The hosts stress that attacks on abortion rights are only the beginning. The right to vote (19th Amendment) is now openly discussed as the next target within some right-wing circles.

2. Clips from Conservative Thought Leaders

Scott Yenor (Heritage Foundation) Clip (01:27)

• Yenor argues against the recruitment of women into STEM and professional fields, claiming male-only achievement is to be celebrated.
  • “If every Nobel Prize winner is a man, that's not a failure. It's kind of a cause for celebration.”
  • Suggests that women driving “global projects” lack value and threaten society’s future.

Hosts’ Responses

• Angie: “What a fucking prick. And I know these women. They have daughters my daughter's age ... It's like you are a dumb. Wake up and smell the coffee.” (02:41)

Chris Partridge’s Call to Repeal the 19th Amendment (09:18)

• Partridge pushes the narrative that women’s suffrage is biblically and historically wrong, suggesting women's voting leads to national decline:
  • “... it’s not just wrong against Scripture, coming from a biblical patriarchal perspective, but why it’s never been done throughout history ...”
  • He hopes “we can over maybe the next 10, 15 years, have a Supreme Court case repealing the 19[th Amendment].”

Hosts’ Take

• Angie’s sharp retort: “... he is teeny weeny peeny out the gazoo.” (10:17)
• Jennifer lambasts the emotional and sexual repression of such figures, tying it to conditional love and religious abuse in American families.

3. Conditional Love and Internalized Misogyny

• Jennifer draws connections between voting for regressive policies and childhood experiences of conditional love:

  • “By voting for somebody who will hurt your child, you are sending your child a message of conditional love, of not unconditional love.” (06:29)
  • She highlights generational cycles in the Bible Belt, where superficial familial love coexists with political actions undermining daughters.

• Angie shares a deeply personal moment when her mother, after years of ingrained patriarchal beliefs, told her:

  • “I just don’t know what would happen in a family if there wasn’t a husband to be head of the household.” (07:23)
  • Angie: “...it was a dagger. It’s like, how fucking dare you? It hurts. It hurts.” (07:41)

4. Slippery Slope and Importance of Standing Firm

• The hosts urge listeners not to “seed ground” on any rights:
  • Jennifer: “Either everybody matters and everybody has equal rights and equal opportunity, equal access, or they don’t. You can’t start carving out places or you leave every person vulnerable.” (08:13)
• Comparisons are drawn between Christian nationalism and extremists like those imposing Sharia law:
  • Angie: “Please, MAGA, stop telling me how bad Sharia law is ... Christian nationalism like this ... they're not a whole lot different. You want to take everybody's rights from them.” (13:47)

5. The Psychology of Patriarchy and the Need for Deprogramming

• Jennifer analyzes the “out-crazying” dynamic in insular churches/suburbs, warning that without diversity and exposure, radicalization worsens:

  • “When you don’t have outside people that think differently … you out crazy each other ... That's what's happened in the suburbs.” (10:54)
  • She stresses the role of multiculturalism and critical thinking as moderators.

• The hosts agree that many Americans, particularly women in authoritarian religious structures, need resources for deconstruction and healing from “religious abuse”:

  • Jennifer: “...there’s going to be a huge need … for a bunch of deprogramming.” (15:11)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Jennifer on performative versus real love:
  “It’s the talk, the talk. But there’s no walk the walk with it. They can’t go vote for the people who are going to protect their own kids. So how does the kid feel? ... They feel immediately devalued.” (06:20)

• Angie’s personal story:
  “...even as far away from my [family] as I am from that whole thing, and intellectually, I understand it. It was a dagger. It's like, how fucking dare you? It hurts. It hurts.” (07:41)

• Jennifer on critical thinking:
  “This is why free thought, critical thinking, must always be elevated. And this is why these people don't want women, books, drag queens, queer people.” (12:07)

• Host dynamic and deconstruction journey:
  Jennifer: "For you in your personal life, everyone in your life was just like you until you met me, and I was the Democrat atheist ... it actually caused you to start critically thinking." (14:12)
