John –

It’s downright befuddling to hear Republicans pine for the days of Trump. They talk about how much they miss him and all he did for our country.

But it makes sense, because the GOP is anti-government. They want to portray the government as a foil, a big bad entity, to tell people that the government is what’s wrong in their lives. So when President Biden and Democrats in Congress use government to substantially improve people’s lives, Republicans recoil in horror.

If Republicans regain control of the House, they’ll sabotage our government at every turn. Make a contribution now to help us hold our Democratic majority >>

The progress of the last few months – one of the most productive periods in the modern history of the U.S. government – really gets under their skin. Instead of facing whatever internal demons cause them to oppose progress, they reminisce about the good old days of President Trump.

So we wanted to do a quick comparison of our current President with the former one. Because we agree with Republicans on one thing: there is a HUGE difference.


President Trump	President Biden
Two years before he tried to overthrow the government, he caused and oversaw the longest government shutdown in U.S. history (no wonder Republicans love him).	Has overseen one of the most productive periods of governance in modern history.
Passed a tax cut for billionaires as his only major policy victory.	Passed a COVID relief bill to get the country safely back to normal life. Passed historic climate investments. Passed prescription drug price cuts. Passed major jobs and national security legislation, bringing opportunities for good-paying jobs to many different communities. Passed a veterans health bill over Republican obstruction.
Used executive orders to discriminate against Muslim Americans and to try to weaken the Affordable Care Act.	Uses executive orders to protect reproductive rights and to rejoin the world in tackling climate change.
Was hostile to workers and organized labor.	Has presided over a historic expansion of workers' rights and the creation of 10 million jobs.
Appointed the right-wing activist Supreme Court justices who overturned a half century of established reproductive rights.	Appointed Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman to sit on the nation’s highest court.

Obviously we’re glad that Trump is no longer the president. But there’s a real chance that his MAGA minions could take over Congress this year and do everything they can to sabotage President Biden’s ability to deliver for Americans. Will you make a contribution to help us stop the MAGA onslaught against government and the people it serves?

Thank you, John.
