Dear John,

When news broke that Nancy Pelosi’s husband was in the hospital with a fractured skull after being brutally attacked in his home, what did Republicans do?

They played it for laughs.

Kari Lake, the Republican candidate for governor in Arizona, mocked Pelosi for not having security at her home. Ted Cruz retweeted a thread calling Pelosi’s attacker a “hippie nudist from Berkeley.” GOP Congresswoman Claudia Tenney retweeted a photo of several men carrying hammers outside a home with a gay pride flag with the comment “LOL.”

My friends, this is what it looks like when the mindset of a sadistic bully like Donald Trump is embraced by an entire political party. They take pleasure in other people’s pain.

It’s not an ideology. It’s a sickness. And we can never, ever allow these people to hold power in America again.

Inequality Media Civic Action is running the hardest-hitting midterm election campaign education program in our history. Will you make a donation to get the truth out and help stop the MAGA takeover?

I’ve been involved in politics for 50 years, and what we’re seeing today is like nothing I’ve ever witnessed before.

Threats of violence against members of Congress have skyrocketed. Armed men in military tactical gear are patrolling ballot drop boxes. A violent attempt to overturn an election was officially declared “legitimate political discourse.”

This is what the rise of authoritarianism looks like, and historians are warning that should this election result in a red wave, it could be the last free and fair election in American history.

My friends, I believe that democracy can still be saved. But the only way to defeat this rising authoritarian threat is to defeat it at the ballot box — before we risk not being able to do so again.

In these final days before the election, Inequality Media Civic Action is using our massive following across social media to reach voters who don’t usually watch cable news or pay close attention to politics to make sure they understand the stakes in this election. They need to know that 60% of voters have an election denier on the ballot — people Steve Bannon has recruited to run for office and steal the election for Trump in 2024.

The incredible creative team at Inequality Media Civic Action has spent months testing and developing the most compelling and persuasive viral videos and other social media content. Now it all comes together. As millions of voters will decide how to cast their ballots, we’ll be in their news feeds with the most proven effective messages that underscore the stakes.

With so much at stake, we’re asking everyone to make a donation to Inequality Media Civic Action and help get the message out about the growing authoritarian threat to democracy before it’s too late.

Thanks for all you do,

Robert Reich
