Friend,

We need to talk about Trump’s authoritarian playbook.

I’ll get into it more below, but first, I have to ask: Will you split $5 or $10 with Speak Up PAC and Off the Sidelines PAC before our weekly fundraising deadline tomorrow at midnight? Your contribution will help us elect Democrats committed to protecting our democracy! [link removed]

There’s a pattern to how democracies fall. And Trump is following it step by step:

It starts with the final free and fair election. Then, the rules begin to change.

Executive authority expands. Legislatures and courts are pressured or sidelined as democratic guardrails weaken.

Experts are fired, agencies are dismantled, and public trust collapses. Loyalists replace public servants, shifting allegiance from the Constitution to one individual.

The media is attacked. Propaganda replaces the truth. Scapegoats are chosen – immigrants, workers, anyone deemed “different” – and division becomes the strategy.

Speaking out feels risky. And eventually, people stop voting – not because they don’t care, but because they’re exhausted and convinced it won’t matter.

That’s the endgame Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans are fighting for right now.

But, this playbook only works if we let it.

I started Speak Up PAC for one reason: to fight for democracy.

If you believe it’s our duty to elect Democrats who will stand up for our democracy, I’m asking you to step up right now. Will you split a donation with Speak Up PAC and Off the Sidelines PAC before our weekly fundraising deadline to help us protect democracy from Trump’s authoritarian playbook? [link removed]
