The Warning turns two today, 967 posts later! I am so very grateful for all of your support as the community continues to grow and expand.
The purpose of this publication has not changed at all during the last two years:
There is a very significant, “exhausted majority” of Americans looking to move past this rotten moment in American life. They have lost trust and faith in government, business, media and not-for-profit institutions at a moment of technological, cultural and economic upheaval. Fascism did not rise in the 1930s because it was strong, but rather, because democracy was weak. The cycle is repeating itself with a new extremism rising in 2020s America. This newsletter will help readers orient to the currents that are shaping our times and the unseen forces driving politics that are rarely discussed on cable news.
This remains The Warning mission in the year ahead and beyond. Why? While it has become a cliché to say that the election ahead is the most important of our lifetime, so long as democracy remains one election away from extinction in America, it will be true. Make no mistake, that isn’t hyperbole. We are one election away from ending the evolving American revolution. I will continue to use this platform — as well as my YouTube channel and podcast (please subscribe to these if you haven’t already!) — to argue and warn against that.
We live in a time of tumult and crisis. Menace is bearing down. I will continue to pull no punches and shade no truths at The Warning. This publication will continue to offer an American perspective on the growling and extremism that is baring its teeth all over the world, and orient you to the constitutional crisis in the United States that is nine years in the making, but only now substantively beginning.
The election is 133 days away. The choice is monumental and clear, though imperfect. The truth is that most people don’t want a Trump-Biden match-up, but that is the choice.
There is no comparison between these men.
Trump is amoral, immoral and rotten to the core. He seeks to take as much as he can. He practices the philosophy of the locust, and is the greatest threat to American liberty since the Confederacy, which he venerates. Trump is a low and shameful man, and at The Warning, he will be called out directly and unsparingly without the quibbling and quaking seen on most newscasts.
American history is being written as we speak, and The Warning will continue to help you make sense of it all. I hope you will encourage your family and friends to join our community too.
Here’s my video message to you all:
The MAGA politicos all look the same to me. The vacant stare of a vile soul.
Happy Anniversary, Steve. I love reading your letters and seeing your videos but would love to see you some on TV. Does MSNBC not call you anymore? We need your powerful words where it hits the hardest.
