Here are my takeaways from the Iowa Caucus: -
The MAGA movement and the GOP are one in the same. Extremism and divisive rhetoric is the norm of the modern GOP. In fact, a disturbing poll found 42% of Iowa’s GOP caucus goers said Trump’s dehumanizing rhetoric toward immigrants that mirrored language used by Hitler made them more likely to support him.
-
None of the GOP candidates running are in any way “moderate.” All of them support banning books, controlling our bodies, giving tax breaks to their wealthy donors, and gutting Social Security and Medicare. They spend more time talking about pardoning Trump than what they would do for working-class families.
- Electing Democrats is the onlyway we defeat MAGA and Donald Trump. It’s apparent that there is no going back for today’s Republican Party. The only way we stop the MAGA movement is by voting for Democrats up and down the ballot in 2024.
If we’re going to break the MAGA fever, protect our democracy, and ensure the progress made over the last few years isn’t rolled back for working families, we must all do our part. Please show up, speak out, and consider a contribution today. Thank you, Jimmy Tickey
