You have lived through history. You are old enough to remember World War II and the global effort to rebuild in its aftermath. You were a young man when the world was reckoning with the horrors of authoritarian regimes—when Americans were proud to stand against tyranny, corruption, and the erosion of democratic values. You were taught, as all of us were, the warning signs of a government that seeks to consolidate power at the expense of its people.
So how can you possibly ignore the red flags waving in front of you now?
Time and again, you have enabled a dangerous administration that disregards the Constitution, undermines democratic institutions, and emboldens extremists. When leaders attempt to rewrite history, punish their political opponents, and dismantle the checks and balances designed to keep them in line, history tells us exactly where that road leads. Yet, instead of standing up for the American people, you have chosen complacency.
When the judiciary is is attacked for ruling independently, when the Department of Justice is threatened for doing its job, when public servants face retaliation for upholding the law, and when the executive branch wields power as a weapon instead of a responsibility, those are the signs of authoritarianism. Not party politics. Not normal governance. These are the hallmarks of regimes we have fought against. And yet, you look the other way.
Your legacy is being written right now. Do you want to be remembered as the statesman who upheld the values of democracy, or as a politician who stood by while it crumbled? You have the power to push back, to remind the American people that integrity still exists in our government. But that requires action—not silence, not party loyalty, but a real commitment to the principles you swore to protect.
History will remember the choices made in this moment. Which side of it do you want to be on?
