Dear John,
The neofascist takeover of America is getting worse by the day, with cities, universities, museums, the civil service, judges, immigrants, and the free press all under attack.
But rest assured, the seeds of Trump’s destruction have already been sown.
His bonkers import taxes (tariffs) and attacks on the Fed are driving up prices and killing job growth. His foreign policy blunders are uniting America’s enemies and turning our allies against us. The Jeffrey Epstein scandal is dividing his base and threatening to engulf the administration.
Most importantly, Trump no longer has any competent staff to advise him — he has purged them all in favor of sycophants — and a president who’s flying blind will inevitably crash.
None of this argues for complacency. It’s our job to accelerate Trump’s political demise by calling out his lies and alerting the public to how he’s screwing them over to enrich himself — and it’s working.
Our shares, views, and engagement have skyrocketed since the start of Trump’s term, allowing us to reach millions more people. 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?
As I’ve traveled across the country trying to explain how this catastrophe happened and what we can do about it, I’ve found many Americans in shock and outrage.
“How could it have happened so fast?” they ask. I explain that it actually occurred slowly and incrementally over many years until our entire political-economic system became so fragile that a sociopathic demagogue could bring much of it down.
Some people I speak with are still in denial and disbelief. “It’s not as bad as the press makes it out to be,” they say. I tell them that it is. In fact, it’s even worse.
Others are in despair — heartbroken and immobilized. I tell them that hopelessness is a self-fulfilling prophecy that plays directly into Trump’s hands.
Friends, I do not believe the American people want to be ruled by a dictator.
Angry constituents are flooding into Republican town hall meetings. Trump’s net approval ratings have dropped 20 points. Tens of millions of Americans have joined nationwide protests like the “No Kings” rallies and Bernie Sanders’ Fighting Oligarchy tour.
And the team at Inequality Media is helping to fuel the backlash by pumping out proven-effective viral videos and posts every day that are reaching 22 million people. 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. Will you make a monthly donation to Inequality Media to help educate the public and stop Donald Trump's authoritarian takeover?
Thank you,
Robert Reich
