Dear President Biden: Keep The Pressure On Trump And GOP
Dear President Biden,
Your Oval Office speech about unity was perfect. It was the message Americans needed after a horrific event.
But this election is nothing like any president has faced before. You are running against a man and party who want to destroy democracy, so the rules for political campaigns are out the window. The GOP calls for unity are phony. Trump and Republicans don't want the country to come together, they want to take over America.
Authoritarian expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat tweeted:
"Sorry but Trump's idea of unity is everyone behind him or else. He tells his own supporters that if they vote for him and die 'it will be worth it.' No pivoting out of that."
False Calls for Unity
The GOP calls for "unity" have started. Trump and Republicans are trying to frame the slightest criticism of Trump as "trying to incite violence." Don't let them twist your words or put pro-democracy forces on the defense.
Activist Tara Setmayer calls out Trump's version of unity better than me. Setmayer tweeted:
This is authoritarian propaganda being pushed as fact under the guise of “uniting our nation.”
