"It’s possible that, if J. D. Vance had his way, citizenship in the United States would be conferred not solely by birthright but by marriage and children….

The day that President Joe Biden announced he would not seek reëlection, the conservative activist and attorney Will Chamberlain posted to X a 'simple, underdiscussed reason why Kamala Harris shouldn’t be president': 'No children'.”

As Rachel Leingang and Stephanie Kirchgaessner note, Kevin Roberts of Project 2025 has close ties to the secretive, wealthy, right-wing theocratic Catholic cult Opus Dei.

As does Supreme Court kingmaker Leonard Leo, who has stacked the court with Catholics who either belong to Opus Dei or are thickly connected to it. Opus Dei was born in pro-fascist reactions to communism in Spain, and uses stealth and money to push theocracy.
