Just look at what Republicans have been doing in Congress.
They have been voting to advance cuts on hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicaid, veterans benefits, and Social Security so that they can give it to the billionaires who elected them, in the form of tax cuts and sweetheart government contracts to companies like SpaceX.
They know that it is deeply unpopular. They know that it hurts you.
But they are not here to serve us. They are here to serve themselves and the billionaires who have paid them. Oligarchy.
They know that the only chance they have to get away with such an unpopular agenda — to get away with stealing in plain view — is to stoke deep divisions among us along lines of race, identity, and culture to keep us distracted.
This has been the Big Money Playbook — not just now, but for generations.
And that is why Donald Trump is not an aberration.
He is the logical and inevitable conclusion to an American political system that has been dominated by corporate and dark money.
And if we are here to defeat him, we must defeat the system that created him.
That means that we choose to out-organize the oligarchy. We will, and we must, do away with the power of big money in our politics.
More soon,
Alexandria
