Help Us Combat the Dark Enlightenment’s Threat to Our Democracy

As your constituent, I’m deeply concerned about the rise of the Dark Enlightenment movement—its historical revisionism and anti‑democratic rhetoric threaten public trust and our constitutional order. We need our elected officials to help us speak up and push back. I respectfully ask you to: Publicize the threat through floor speeches, press statements, and social media to explain what neoreaction is and why it undermines democratic norms. Host expert briefings with historians, fact‑checkers, and civic‑education groups—online or in our district—to inform colleagues and constituents. Leverage oversight opportunities in committee hearings and letters to platform CEOs to demand transparency on algorithmic promotion of extremist content. Partner with educators and fact‑checkers by highlighting resources from FactCheck.org, Snopes, and AP in newsletters and town‑hall materials. Engage the community by organizing or promoting local workshops on media literacy and democratic history to help neighbors spot and counter neoreactionary propaganda. Your leadership in raising awareness and educating both Congress and the public will strengthen our resilience against authoritarian ideas. Thank you for your commitment to defending our democracy.
