Dear John,
New reporting just revealed that freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the far-right congresswoman who has praised QAnon and made comments in support of murdering Democrats, has raised more than $3 million in the last three months.
That gargantuan sum dwarfs the $728,000 that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raised in her first three months in office.
And it’s a major red flag that Trump-style pretend populism is gaining traction.
Republicans are rebranding themselves as the working-class party--and it appears to be working. The GOP’s campaign to target and mislead working-class voters with lies and phony controversies is bringing in big bucks to people like Greene, and it’s a real problem.
To fight back, the team here at Inequality Media is launching an aggressive and innovative campaign to reach out to voters across the political spectrum, including working-class Trump voters. Then we’re testing and widely deploying the most effective messages to get out the truth and debunk the Republicans' fraudulent working-class posturing.

Before Trump, Democrats regularly won working-class voters in presidential elections. But in 2020, Trump won a whopping 57% of white working-class votes.
And the rest of the GOP is using his tactics to win over blue-collar voters of color, too: Between 2010 and 2020, Republicans nearly tripled their support among Black working-class voters. Even the Guardian , a prominent center-left publication, is declaring, “Democrats beware: the Republicans will soon be the party of the working class.”
We know that the GOP’s slick rebrand is nothing but a load of hogwash: the GOP is the party of corporate tax cuts and bailouts for the rich.
It’s not just Marjorie Taylor Greene who is raking in money off these lies. Senator Josh Hawley, who helped incite the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6 and is leading the charge to rebrand the GOP as a working-class party, also announced that he raised more than $3 million during the first three months of the year.
We know what we need to do to fight back. The team at Inequality Media includes some of the most talented and effective messaging experts in the country. We're creating and pushing out compelling videos and shareable social media content that is seen by millions of voters every single week.
We know Inequality Media’s content breaks through the noise because research shows that we have one of the most engaged audiences on Facebook, including an unusually large following on social media among “persuadable conservatives.” And these folks watch our videos far longer than what’s typical on Facebook or Instagram.
But getting these videos in front of millions of viewers takes resources, and donations to Inequality Media and other progressive organizations are plummeting. Your help is critical in this moment.
Will you make a donation to help spread the truth, including by exposing the Republican Party’s abandonment of the working-class, and sharing the facts about their disingenuous “rebrand”? [[link removed]]
Thanks for all you do,
