I’ve had a front-row seat to the ways that Donald Trump has changed our country and his party over these past few years, and I’d like to share some of those observations with you today.

But first, will you pretty-please pitch in $10 to help my campaign meet our FEC End-of-Quarter goal on Sunday?

Something I’ve noticed, folks: My GOP colleagues in Washington tend to fall into one of three categories:

1. There are the racists, misogynists, and authoritarians who genuinely like what Trump offers (but wish he’d be a little quieter about it.)


2. There are the cowards who know that Trump is a loudmouth charlatan. But they’ve seen the cautionary tales of former colleagues who had the courage to speak up. So these folks sit in positions of leadership, afraid to lead.


3. Then there’s a third group — the true believers. They have far-right media blasting in their offices 24/7 and buy into every single conspiracy, no matter how absurd. They reject, ignore, or attack anything and anyone that challenges MAGA doctrine. 

Millions of Americans have fallen down the same deep, dark rabbit hole as that latter group.

However, the difference between, say, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and your MAGA Uncle Bob on Facebook, is that Marge is supposed to be a member of Congress...but it’s just not possible to be an effective legislator and a card-carrying Q-Anon believer at the same time. 

For the good of our country, we’ve got to vote these folks out.

Friend, one day (hopefully soon), the Trump era will come to an end. Our country will have to move forward. We’ll have to rebuild a whole lot of burned bridges.

Maybe this little rant is a good reminder: Our politics don’t have to be defined by hatred and vengeance. 

But we can’t do that without the help of decent folks like you.

Will you chip in any amount ahead of our FEC deadline to support my fight for decency, truth, and compassion in Washington?

Sincerely,
Sean
