PCB Pressuring the GOP: How Low Will They Go With Trump?


Megan Marcelle

As we approach the 2024 presidential election, it's critical to address the grave threats posed by Donald Trump and his enablers, which could lead to a fascistic takeover of our country.

In our PCB podcast, we posed pivotal questions to politicians, media personalities, and influential MAGA figures. These questions are straightforward and crucial, touching on Donald Trump’s actions and statements that would have been unthinkable in any past leader:

As Trump remains a visible danger, we must act decisively. Democracy is resilient, but not invincible. We must be vigilant and vocal in defending it. The lack of responses to our questions shows where some stand—or choose to remain silent.

It's up to US. We must use our voices, actions, and votes to prevent any form of authoritarianism from taking root. It's crucial to support candidates who unequivocally condemn these disqualifying behaviors.

Make sure you register, volunteer, donate, and vote!

We're our own superheroes. Let's save democracy.
