Surviving Trump | Season 2

In Series 1 of Surviving Trump Season 2, Bella Goode investigates how white nationalists protect political power long before Election Day. This series examines gerrymandering, census manipulation, voter suppression laws, proof-of-citizenship requirements, election administration takeovers, and the broader strategy tied to Project 2025.

From redistricting maps that lock in outcomes, to census undercounts that reduce representation, to voting rules that make participation harder, this series explains how election infrastructure can be reshaped to preserve control in a country that is becoming more diverse.

If you want to understand how white nationalists stay in power — through maps, the census, voting rules, and fear — start here.

Bella Goode is a pseudonym — but the voice, research, and mission are all real. A Republican turned Democrat advocate in 2016, I was raised by middle class parents in Pennsylvania. I’m a former marketing executive, entrepreneur, and lifelong learner with an MBA from Wharton and a Master’s in Psychology from Penn. I spent decades telling stories in the business world; now I use those skills to connect the dots in American politics.

I’m here because the truth matters — and because the stakes have never been higher. Surviving Trump isn’t lighthearted. It’s clarity, evidence, and a fight for the future of our democracy.
