Friend,



Want to know why I challenged our team to set such an ambitious end of year goal? Project 2025 is why. Trump channeling his inner dictator is why. And everyone with their heads in the sand about what he's really going to do - that's why.



We all get too many fundraising messages about how the sky is falling and your last minute contribution will make the difference. I don't want to exaggerate, but the sky's pretty damn close to falling if Trump wins in 2024. He is going to drive our democracy off a cliff. And we are the only ones who truly know how to fight him and win.



Yes - there are other groups out there fighting to win in 2024. I support many of them, too. But our mission at The Lincoln Project has never been more vital. We are the only ones willing to call Trump what he is and take that fight directly to voters. We've never wavered from that.



We're well on our way to hitting that ambitious goal we set - but we won't get there without your help. Can you pitch in now and make sure we finish 2024 strong? <[link removed]>

One last time, before 2024 starts - thank you for all you do for democracy. Without a you-powered Lincoln Project, Trump would be in office right now. But he isn't. And next year, he won't be either.

In case you missed it, here's more on Trump's plans for his dictatorship:



This is real. This is what he is going to try to do. We should believe it because he and his allies are saying it out loud.

Any sane, normal campaign would run from this at lightning speed. Yet Trump and his coterie of sycophants are embracing it. That should tell you something.



The only reason he's going to get away with it is that the media lacks the imagination to raise the alarm bells for our democracy. Headlines like "Trump shares cryptic graphic" are everywhere. No. It is not cryptic. He's telling us what he's going to do and the media are treating him like there's some great mystery to Trump.



We've never considered Trump to be anything other than exactly what he is. We know how to beat him. We did it in 2020 and we're going to do it again next year. We're not idealists. We're realists. We're down there in the gutter with Trump every day. Pitch in before our end-of-year deadline to the only organization in America fighting Trump on his terms and winning. <[link removed]>



There is not a great mystery to Trump. He is an autocrat. A fascist. He tried to overthrow the election in 2020 -- to the point that Colorado's Supreme Court deemed him unfit to stand for election in 2024. He has a plan, Project 2025, to gut the government and replace every notable position of power with a loyalist who won't tell him no. They're already building it. Their plan is clear.?



Trump's plans for his dictatorship are not "cryptic" and they are not some kind of sideshow. This is the biggest clear and present danger to American democracy we have faced in any of our lifetimes. And if the media won't call it out repeatedly, then we will.



Before the end of 2023, we're asking you to stand with the only organization that's been loud and clear about the Trump threat. What we do takes resources -- and it's clear that next year, we have a huge task ahead of us -- telling voters what the media won't or can't say. We're ready for the fight, but we need you to help us get there. <[link removed]>



Trump's Project 2025 is a scary, dystopian vision for an American autocracy. We're all in to stop it. Anyone who isn't... well, it's up to us to make sure they're with us.
