I gotta say, folks, it takes a lot to shock me after 9 years of Trump. This is a man who’s never won anything fair and square in his life except his race to rock bottom.
You’ve probably heard the Univision town hall clip by now – it was even featured on SNL. Trump calling January 6th “a day of love” was bad even for him, which is really saying something.
But he did something even more disturbing in that same answer: He referred to the mob of violent criminals who invaded our Capitol as “WE.”
WE.
WE, the armed neo-Nazis, Q-Anon cult members, white supremacists, and MAGA extremists. WE didn’t do anything wrong. WE had a right to be there. WE were peacefully protesting.
While thousands of staffers, interns, support workers, Capitol police, members of Congress, and his own Vice President are “THEY” – the enemy.
THEY (the Capitol police) had guns, WE didn’t. THEY stole the election from US. Complain, whine, victimize, rinse, repeat.
And, folks, if you believe America is the greatest country in the world because of our multilateral, diverse, thriving democracy, YOU are Trump’s enemy, too.
I’ve never been afraid to level with you – good, bad, and ugly. And this moment we’re in, with our democracy on a knife’s edge, is really, really ugly. I won’t pretend otherwise.
But, as I often say, love, respect, and decency have the numbers. We just need to make sure those numbers translate into votes by Election Day.
But it takes resources to cut through the noise and reach folks at home, on their morning commutes, and in their neighborhoods. So, I’m asking if you’ll pitch in $10, $15, or any amount that works for your budget, because this is, without a doubt, the most important election of our lives. Decency, love, respect – it’s all on the ballot. [[link removed]]
