Friend,
Rick Wilson, Joe Trippi, and I want
to invite you to a special 3-part
series of virtual
conversations this month, in July, and again in September on how to
combat the MAGA media’s assault on our democracy – An assault so
destructive that it’s literally changed what it means to be a
patriot.
Extreme elements of the Republican party have had a 50-year head
start in pushing through their autocratic agenda. Rick and I saw hints
of it throughout our careers as GOP strategists, but we believed they
represented the fringe of the party. We were dead wrong — they weren’t
the fringe; they were the dark core that has become the party itself –
and the media is helping them.
This is not theoretical for me. I’ve worked in five presidential
races and helped elect GOP governors and senators in over half the
country. I know many of these people; I know their world and how they
function. Jason Miller interned for me! As dangerous as they may seem,
they are worse. Today’s Republican Party and its media enablers have
become an autocratic movement. If we look away from this truth, we
greatly increase the likelihood that the America we love will slip
away.
As I said in my latest book, The Conspiracy to End
America, the greatest danger is often not
recognizing the greatest danger — and the greatest danger lies right
on our televisions, computers, and phones in the form of right-wing
propaganda dead set on ending our democracy.
…and it’s not just the deceptive voices in the MAGA MEDIA, the
entire media ecosystem is failing at this pivotal moment. After eight
brutal years, far too much of our “mainstream media” continue
normalizing Trump and the threat to our democracy. They are locked in
a dangerous paradigm of trying to tell both sides of a lie. That’s
just one of the things we’ll get into in our special 3-part
conversation.
Resolute Square is home to podcasts
such as Rick’s The Enemies
List, Joe Trippi’s
That
Trippi Show, Decoding Fox
News, and
on Tuesday nights at 7 pm, Rick, Joe, and I gather with Resolute
Square members to discuss the threat the media’s failure poses on
Strategy Session Live.
In addition to our podcasts and streaming shows, we
publish commentary from
some of the leading pro-democracy political strategists, scholars, and
leaders – Simon Rosenberg, David Pepper, Al From, Juliet Jeske, Dr.
Jennifer Mercieca, Teri Kanefield, and many others. We also talk about
strategies to fight back – and to dispel some of the many lies that
the MAGA media spreads and mainstream media just plain misses. We hope
you’ll join us.
It is not too late to save American democracy and reclaim what it
means to be an American. But it is too late to pretend the danger is
not great, and the time grows short. We only have 180 days to save
America from Donald Trump and his Christo-fascist dreams.
Will you join us for this important virtual conversation? Hurry and
register now. We are limiting these events to the first 100 people who
register.
The Lincoln Project’s ads continue to succeed in taking on Trump
and we work every day to stop his return to the White House.
Resolute Square is different. Rupert Murdoch, Elon Musk, and others
have invested billions to build the right-wing media that is
destroying our democracy and replacing the truth with lies and
disinformation. No billionaires are coming to save us. Rick, Joe, and
I, along with a few others, have invested our own money to launch
Resolute Square. To make this work and grow we need you. While most of
our offerings are free, becoming
a founding member will help launch the media platform the
pro-democracy coalition must build to defeat the right-wing media
threat.
The truth is simple: We are right, and they are wrong – and we
can’t do this without you, because Resolute Square is more than a
media platform. We are part of the truth movement and need you with
us.
All the best,
Stuart
