Dear John,
I’m old enough to remember when the Republican Party stood for “small government and free markets.”
But today they stand for something no one has ever seen in America: A single would-be dictator taking over nearly all the institutions of government and, increasingly, the private sector as well.
Trump is on the verge of usurping control over the powerful Federal Reserve by illegally firing a Biden-appointed member of the Board of Governors. He seized a 10 percent stake in the tech giant Intel while promising “many more” corporate takeovers to come. His White House even created a scorecard that rates American corporations on how loyal they are to Trump.
In sum, an increasingly large part of our economy is no longer being determined by supply and demand but by Trump personally, and I believe this will inevitably lead to his political downfall as his arbitrary and mercurial decisions drive the economy off a cliff.
Inequality Media is working day and night to accelerate that process by calling out his lies and alerting the public about how he’s screwing them over to enrich himself. Our shares, views, and engagement have skyrocketed since the start of Trump’s term, allowing us to reach millions more people. Better yet, some of our most recent videos are shifting the views of Trump supporters on key issues by as much as SIXTEEN points.
Now we need your help to get these super-effective videos out to the broadest possible audience. Will you make a monthly donation to Inequality Media to help educate the public and stop Donald Trump's authoritarian takeover?
We’ve all watched in horror as Trump has occupied Democratic-led cities with the U.S. military while his army of masked ICE agents snatches people off the street to be deported with no due process.
Meanwhile, he’s deployed the full weight of the federal government to silence universities, museums, law firms, and the media.
But the American people cannot be put down so easily. Angry constituents are flooding into town hall meetings to jeer Republican members of Congress. Trump’s net approval ratings have dropped 20 points. Tens of millions of Americans have joined nationwide protests like the “No Kings” marches and Bernie Sanders’ Fighting Oligarchy tour.
And if nothing else brings him down, his authoritarian control over the economy surely will.
Every day, the team at Inequality Media is producing proven-effective viral videos and posts making the case against Trump’s authoritarianism and corruption. We’ve spent a decade mastering the art of digital online persuasion, and we’re now one of the only progressive organizations with the reach and know-how to take on the big MAGA propaganda accounts on social media.
But we rely on your donations for everything we do, and with democracy hanging by a thread, we need to ramp up our efforts right now.
