Dear John,
The Trump White House is for sale, and the wealthy are buying.
Many super-rich donors who once criticized Trump for stoking the violence of January 6 have since had a change of heart, deciding their profits are worth more than our democracy.
Trump has promised them that if elected, he’ll extend his 2017 tax cuts -- that went mainly to the wealthy -- beyond 2025, when they’re scheduled to expire.
He promised oil executives he would scrap regulations favoring electric vehicles and wind energy if they would give his campaign one billion dollars.
Check out this week’s video to explore some alarming similarities between fascist regimes of the past and Trumpism. Then share it with your friends!
History shows us that fascism backed by Big Money is one of the most dangerous of all political alliances. We saw it in 1930s Germany, and we’re seeing it in today’s GOP.
The billionaires backing Trump want the rest of us to fear each other so we don’t look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone -- so we don’t join together and raise taxes on the super-rich to finance childcare, better schools, our health care system, and everything else we need.
But history does not have to repeat itself. Watch the video and discover how we can see through their fear tactics.
Thank you for your consistent vigilance and efforts for the common good!
