We’ve been breaking down the 10 steps on the road to authoritarianism. Step #5 is filling the government with loyalists and firing lifelong public servants.

Our government used to be run by experts:
✅ Doctors protecting public health
✅ Five-star generals leading the Pentagon
✅ Teachers and educators leading the Department of Education

Trump doesn’t care about qualifications. He only wants loyalty.
❌RFK Jr. for Health and Human Services
❌Pete Hegseth for Defense
❌A former WWE executive, Linda McMahon, for Department of Education

None chosen for experience. Only for loyalty to Trump.
This is how democracies fall, and it’s happening fast.

We can stop it. Speak Up PAC is fighting back by helping elect pro-democracy leaders and holding the line against MAGA extremism. If everyone reading this chipped in just $1, we could supercharge our fight to protect democracy before it’s too late. Will you take 30 seconds to give and fight back? >>
