Learn From History, Don’t End On the Wrong Side

To: Rep. Edwards, Sen. Tillis, Sen. Budd

From: A verified voter in Asheville, NC

February 2

Please consider the long-term consequences of your political trajectory. History consistently demonstrates that ultra-conservative regimes and authoritarian shifts eventually land on the "wrong side" of the record, leaving behind a legacy of institutional decay and fragmentation. I encourage you to explore some history and sociology books like: - “The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements” by Eric Hoffer. How frustration and a loss of individual identity drive people toward extremist ideologies. - “The Death of Democracy” by Benjamin Carter Hett. A detailed account of how Hitler’s rise was not overnight, but a gradual erosion of democratic norms. History is a relentless judge Our leaders must prioritize the preservation of democratic guardrails over short-term partisan victories. Ensure your legacy is one of defending our republic's core values rather than ignorantly and selfishly facilitating their decline out of misplaced fear and hatred.
