If you had the stomach to taken in even a morsel of the latest smörgåsbord of invidious bullshit Donald Trump unveiled before a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night, then you, like me, went to bed feeling ill. And like me, you woke up wondering, what in the seven hells do we do about this abusive maniac who wants to destroy America, freedom, and maybe the world?
Well, here’s something you can do, right this very minute: Donate to investigative filmmaker Jon Ossoff, the Daily Kos-endorsed Democrat running in the upcoming special election to succeed Trump’s new health secretary, Tom Price. Ossoff is seeking Georgia’s 6th Congressional District, which is a traditionally conservative seat but one that only voted for Trump by a single point last November: 48 to 47.
That makes it winnable for our side—and a victory here would send shockwaves through the GOP. Any Republican who sits in a district like this one—and there are quite a few—would suddenly have to be very, very worried about his or her re-election prospects for 2018. That in turn means the House would be in play. We pick that up, and the Trump-Republican agenda grinds to a screeching halt.
But don't sit there and fantasize. Give today. Winning this race is going to be very difficult, and taking back the House even harder. So when Trump makes you want to hurl, click that “donate” button instead.
Please give $3 to Jon Ossoff today. You’ll feel better—I promise.
