Hi there,
Earlier this month, the Texas attorney general sought Supreme Court intervention to overturn the election results in several battleground states. And as Pennsylvania’s attorney general responded in a brief, “Texas invites this court to overthrow the votes of the American people and choose the next president of the United States. That Faustian invitation must be firmly rejected.”
We’ve seen growing attacks on our democracy across the country -- all for one man’s ego. In Michigan, armed protesters chanted “stop the steal” in the state’s capital. And election workers in Georgia have received death threats for just doing their job.
These tantrums spell disaster for the future of our democracy. If Republicans were so quick to throw out any semblance of democracy just to keep a racist wannabe dictator in power, who’s to say they won’t do it again?
The fact is that Republicans continue to make gains because of their extremist tactics and agenda, not in spite of it. We need to be prepared.
We’re doing our best to strengthen our democratic institutions, advance legislation that will put everyday Americans first, and condemn the GOP’s incessant support of Trumpism. But we’re a grassroots movement, and grassroots donations have dropped off after the election, mostly because Americans falsely believe that the work of rebuilding our democracy is done.
We need your help. We need people to stay engaged. Because Democratic civic apathy is exactly the reason why Republicans think they can get away with anything.
