Jason,
Donald Trump is talking a lot these days about what he'll do if he gets back to the White House.
His plans include everything from a mass firing of civil servants to weaponizing the Justice Department against his personal enemies. He says he'll deport millions of people a year and bring back his unconstitutional "Muslim ban." He wants shoplifters to be shot and the homeless to be locked up.
And on multiple occasions now, he's taken a page out of the fascism playbook by describing his political opponents as "vermin" who pose a bigger threat to our way of life than foreign terrorists. When reporters correctly pointed out that this term echoed the language of Hitler and Mussolini, his campaign team lashed out, saying these journalists' "entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House." That's far from subtle.
Trump is no longer flirting with authoritarianism — he's promising it.
Our team is building an electoral operation to prevent Trump from ever getting the chance to run his fever dream dictatorship — and we need help from anyone who cares enough about democracy to fight for it. Will you chip in today to build Operation Saving Democracy?
We all saw the polls last week that show Trump with big leads in key battlegrounds. There's a year to go before voters cast their ballots, but we have our work cut out for us.
The alarm is going off. There's no more hitting the snooze button. It's time to take the threat of another Trump term with the urgency it deserves. If we fail to stop him in the next election, he's promising to end democracy as we know it.
Make a donation right now and say you're not going to let our country slide into Trump-led authoritarianism.
We can't build this grassroots operation without you — thank you,
Amy
