Friend, We hate being right
sometimes.
Remember how we said Trump was
really scraping the bottom of the barrel when he endorsed ultra-MAGA
candidate Blake Masters in Arizona?
Get your earmuffs ready, because as
it turns out, Blake really,
really likes blowing the
ol’ dog whistle.
In April, Masters argued that
America’s high rate of mass shootings is caused not by lax gun laws
and easy accessibility of high-powered rifles… but, you guessed it, by
its Black population.

And before you think this was just
a slip of the tongue… how ‘bout a little White Replacement Theory from
Peter Thiel’s Arizona mouthpiece?

Just in case you’re thinking – even
Trump is too smart to climb into bed with this guy (ok, you got me, I
know you aren’t thinking that) – Trump calls him a “great modern-day
thinker”.
That’s all we need to know,
folks.
The
GOP is embracing these ultra-MAGA loons like Blake Masters, Peter
Thiel, and hundreds of candidates around the country. We have to stop
them, Friend.
Help us fight back.
Thank you for keeping us in this
fight.

Trump’s got a type: Ivy-educated,
crew cut, culture war zealots funded by billionaire alt-right big tech
money. You know who we’re talking about, the Josh Hawleys and JD
Vances of the world. They put a nice face on the authoritarian
movement and Trump absolutely loves them for it.
Well if two’s company, three is a
crowd, because Trump just added another one of these new ultra-MAGA
warriors to his endorsement list: Arizona Senate candidate Blake
Masters.
The Masters story is a familiar
one. He was educated at an Ivy league law school, made his money as a
venture capitalist, and somewhere along the way became radicalized
into another one of Trump’s Big Lie stooges. How bad is it? He says he
“personally believes Trump won the 2020 election,” proudly self
describes as a nationalist, and oh yeah… Tucker Carlson calls him the
future of the GOP. It’s like JD Vance all over again.
Blake Masters belongs in a
dangerous category – there’s no zealot like a convert. He’s a
strategic convert. He knows exactly the authoritarian water he’s
trending in and is comfortable pulling any mechanism of power to enact
his twisted vision of America.
Trump’s got a type – but what you
may not realize is that he’s embracing these nuts because he’s lost
control of them. The “Trump GOP” is now fully the ultra-MAGA GOP, and
there’s no going back. It’s no shock he’s going as extreme as possible
to try to hold onto his kingmaker status.
We beat Trump once and we’ll do it again. We know just how
to beat Vance, Masters, and all the ultra-MAGA extremists.

year.
