Congress Must Act to Stop this Nazi-Style Propaganda from the Executive Branch
To: Sen. Cruz, Rep. Carter, Sen. Cornyn
From: A constituent in Leander, TX
January 24
The United States government is actively circulating rhetoric, imagery, and propaganda that echoes the language and tactics of Nazi and fascist regimes. This is not hyperbole. It is a documented pattern: dehumanization of entire groups, glorification of state violence, authoritarian symbolism, attacks on the free press, and the normalization of political intimidation. That this is coming from the Trump Administration makes it even more dangerous.
This is unacceptable. Full stop.
The use of government platforms to promote fascist ideology is a direct assault on the Constitution you swore to defend. The normalization of Nazi-adjacent messaging is not “politics as usual,” it is a five-alarm threat to democracy. History has already shown us where this road leads, and pretending otherwise is either cowardice or complicity.
Congress does not get to remain silent while the executive branch flirts with totalitarian propaganda.
Where are the hearings?
Where are the public condemnations?
Where is the enforcement of constitutional guardrails?
Where is your courage?
Your role is not to protect a president’s ego or political party. Your role is to protect the republic. When the federal government engages in propaganda that mirrors the tactics of regimes responsible for genocide, mass imprisonment, and the destruction of democratic institutions, Congress has a moral and legal obligation to intervene.
Silence is not neutrality.
Inaction is not prudence.
Doing nothing is choosing a side.
If this behavior continues unchecked, future generations will ask where Congress was when authoritarianism was openly marketed to the American public. “We were quiet” will not be an acceptable answer.
This must stop now. Not later. Not after the next election. Now.
Act like the branch of government designed to restrain abuse of power—or step aside and admit you are unwilling to do the job the Constitution requires of you.
The American people are watching. History is recording.
