Hi Culver City Dem members,
Choosing between Democracy and a Fascist dictatorship should be effortless. Yet individuals born in this country wouldn’t have a clue as to what an oppressive dictator state would look like, much less imagine how it might feel psychologically.
Project 2025—how are you going to explain its restrictions and the consequences of those restrictions to the everyday Joe or Jane, and how it would impact their lives?
Trump’s supposed buddy-buddy relationships with the authoritarian leaders of Russia, North Korea, and China are well documented. These autocrats know exactly how to appeal to Trump’s vanity and would cerainly have his ear. Should Trump win, he would become their puppet, and whatever is left of our democracy would be completely eroded.
We know that power in the wrong hands would be devastating. Any progress to help lift society would end, and references to science would be verboten.
Lastly, what of the fundamentalist Christian right, who are now deeply involved in the political process and are aiming to incorporate their far-right values into every segment of our society? So much for separation of church and state.
There’s no place for authoritarianism in our society. So, how then do we preserve our democracy?
Thank you for your time.
Concerned,
