What Comes After MAGA Will Be Even Worse
If Democrats and the majority aren't smart or careful, America might welcome its first Nazi president in 2032. Even though MAGA is fracturing, white supremacists are waiting in the wings to rebuild.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.
