In the upcoming election, the future of democracy and fundamental civil rights will be at stake. Conservative strategists behind Project 2025 are reportedly planning to embed Donald Trump’s authoritarian goals throughout various levels of government if he secures a victory.
Recent events have provoked a mixture of fear and cautious optimism. Throughout these challenges, The Nation has served as a stronghold against misinformation, advocating for bold and principled viewpoints. Its committed writers have conducted interviews with Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders, analyzed J.D. Vance’s superficial right-wing populism, and discussed strategies for a Democratic win in November.
Articles like these, along with the one in question, are essential during this pivotal moment in the nation’s history. Now, more than ever, clear, well-reported independent journalism is needed to make sense of the news and distinguish fact from fiction. Contributions and support are encouraged to continue a 160-year tradition of speaking truth to power and supporting grassroots advocates.
Throughout 2024, which is likely the most defining election of the era, support is essential to keep publishing the insightful journalism that audiences depend on.
Sincerely,
The Editors of The Nation
