Talking Points: Former President Donald Trump’s Anti-Democratic Draconian Agenda
Donald Trump’s recent interview with TIME Magazine highlighted a number of his priorities if he were to win the presidential election in November including several alarming anti-democratic threats — including pardoning the January 6th rioters and condoning the likelihood of political violence if he were to lose the election. This toolkit includes messaging guidance and sample social copy to support calling out this dangerous rhetoric and draconian MAGA agenda being pushed through the House of Representatives and against our democracy.
Topline Message: Former President Donald Trump’s latest interview with TIME Magazine highlights MAGA Republicans’ ongoing efforts to erase the events of January 6th and push their draconian agenda. Trump confirms his intentions to further jeopardize our democracy by condoning further violence after the 2024 election, pardoning January 6 insurrectionists, and stifling those who refuse to perpetuate the Big Lie. MAGA Republicans and Speaker Mike Johnson are continuing to push this blatantly anti-democratic and unpopular agenda. We must call on Congress to defend our democracy, uplift the needs of the American people, and hold elected officials accountable for prioritizing extremist ideals at the expense of our democracy.
Talking Points:
- MAGA Republicans in the House are continuing to push many of the priorities highlighted by former President Donald Trump including election denialism, political violence, and a draconian agenda.
- Americans across party lines oppose the January 6th rioters. We cannot let Trump’s dangerous and violent extremism re-capture and threaten our democracy.
- House Republicans continue to defend insurrectionists and prop up his violent, undemocratic message. We need all Representatives to take a stand against the violence Trump continues to support.
- Trump’s draconian rhetoric – supported by MAGA Republicans in the House – is an active threat to our democracy and undermines the values of this country.
- The threat of another insurrection happening again is real and MAGA Republicans’ alignment with Trump’s agenda is a threat to our democracy and the well-being of constituents across the country.
