Fellow Americans,

I’m asking every single one of you to read this letter with an open mind. We are at the breaking point of our great nation. Most of you feel it; even if you support some of Trump’s “stated” goals, you’re probably uncomfortable and unhappy with how he’s going about it.

Some of you may not see it yet; you think this is all part of a plan and a little bit of suffering is necessary if everything is going to get better. Some of you may simply forget how many things are happening that you don’t agree with, because every single day there’s twenty new things.

And a few of you may still be cheering all this on, thinking that this is somehow a Conservative-versus-Liberal issue and he’s just “owning the Libs.”

This is NOT a Conservative-versus-Liberal issue, folks. This is not just getting rid of “wokeness” and restoring traditional values. It’s not putting America first in any way that will help the American people.

This is the desecration of the American flag. This is stomping on the Constitution. This is selling off every little bit of our country to the billionaires here and all around the world. You know this, even if you’re cheering it on.

If you’re a patriot– if you believe in the grand ideas of the Constitution and in the words of our Founding Fathers– you know that what is happening is as anti-American as it gets. This is open corruption at the highest levels of our government, corruption that is bragged about and rubbed in our faces.

Trump and the Repubicans have not done a single thing that has helped the American people. All those “Day 1” promises? Forgotten, because he was too busy abusing his power to fan the flames of the culture war, hoping that you would also forget that none of those things are the reason for your suffering.

Yes, the government is corrupt and wasteful. Yes, we need to secure our border. Sure, we need to renegotiate with our trade partners from time to time.

But there are ways to do these things that won’t cause widespread pain and suffering of millions of Americans across all political ideologies. There are ways of negotiating with diplomacy and tact rather than trying to be a bully. So they’re either grossly incompetent, or it’s not actually their goal to fix anything.

The rest of the Trump / Project 2025 / Whatever agenda is bullshit culture war nonsense to distract you and make you easier to manipulate. Or its deregulation to make the oligarchs even richer and more powerful. You know this, even if you don’t want to admit it.

You see it with your own eyes. But then you see some propaganda video or article that says “no, actually, this is good even if it looks bad.” And you believe it, because your side doesn’t lie.

Trump’s “strongman” image is just total insanity. He’s an obese, old man that was born rich, never worked a day in his life, never served his country, never did a single thing for another human being. He mocks veterans and calls servicemembers suckers. But he’s the one that you think is actually looking out for you? The New York billionaire? The lifelong conman? The mush-brained, compromised foreign agent that couldn’t recite a single verse from the Bible if you offered him a million dollars? This guy is your savior?

Being an asshole doesn’t make you tough or strong. Being cruel makes you weak. It makes you pitiful. It makes you angry and makes your own life harder than it needs to be, in addition to just making the world a worse place.

We’re all just people trying to live our lives with a little bit of security and happiness. Some of us are gay or trans, some are minorities that have barely had equal rights for a single generation, some are refugees from countries that we’ve spent 200 years destroying. Don’t deny it, you know that’s the truth.

Get out of your bubble. Don’t believe Fox News. Don’t believe CNN or MSNBC, either. They’re all full of shit. But so are the influencers and the foreign agents that feed you lies and propaganda but make it seem “authentic” just because it goes against the mainstream and shows up on TikTok instead of on cable news. Question all of it.

But right now, more than anything else, stand up and reject fascism. Reject oligarchy. Shut this shit down before it’s too late. It already almost is. Read any history of 20th-century authoritarian takeovers and they’re all the same, fascist or communist. Compare that with just a few of the things happening now.

This is not a comprehensive list, not by a longshot. And this isn’t even touching Elon Musk and the problems that unelected edgelord loser creates.

This is not democracy. Even if he was elected in a “fair election” (which he’s bragged about rigging), this is not what America stands for. It’s not how the rule of law works. It doesn’t fix anything, and in fact it’s going to hurt.

It’s going to hurt you and me and all of us, no matter who we voted for or how much we hate pronouns. It’s going to hurt our communities, our economy, our sense of decency, our very humanity.

Don’t sit around and wait to see what happens. Don’t give them the benefit of the doubt. Believe your own eyes. Believe your heart.

Don’t sleepwalk into fascism.

Call your representatives. Go to townhalls. Get out in the streets, stand side by side with the queer libtards and defend America against this tyranny.
