The Republican Playbook: Break America, Blame Democrats, Then Promise to Save It
Create the crisis, make working Americans suffer, reward the billionaires, blame Democrats for the wreckage, then campaign as the only people who can fix it.

The fact Donald Trump told his supporters last night to "Cheat like hell" in 2026 election BUT that isn't the headline nationwide shows you again how corporate media is complicit.

Not BREAKING NEWS because the Trump admin has been deleting and altering federal datasets for over a year. You can argue about policy. But when the government starts eliminating the data we use to determine whether those policies are actually working, that deserves a hell of a lot more attention.

Trump is still pushing tariffs, claiming they will revive U.S. manufacturing. But we've lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs since Trump took office in 2025 And U.S. imports grew while the trade deficit in goods hit a record high. The chaos amounted to nothing but higher costs for you.

UNITED STATES 2026 ELECTION DEFENSE SCENARIOS:
INDIVISIBLE HANDS OFF OUR VOTE
BEFORE ELECTION DAY
Attempts to silence voters begin long before polls open - from voter purges and sudden rule changes to attacks on voting infrastructure.
The most important thing to know is that we are not powerless - we can organize to defeat these efforts and ensure every eligible voter can cast their ballot and be counted.
Swipe through the scenarios — and start building the relationships and plans your community will need in 2026. Indivisible's Hands Off Our Vote will have tools to help you every step of the way.
This series is adapted from Freedom Trainer's "Election Defense Scenarios." Election procedures vary by state and may change quickly. Confirm current information with state and local election officials and seek qualified legal guidance when needed.CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION
VOTER ROLL PURGES
Eligible voters could discover they are no longer registered.
Officials may use inaccurate data to remove voters from the rolls or challenge their eligibility at the polls. Purges fall hardest on Black voters, voters of color, and infrequent voters. But a purge doesn't have to become a lost vote.
Check your registration regularly and help others do the same.
Make sure voters know their options if their names are missing.
Join voter purge phone banks to help protect those most at risk.

Trump traded GEO Group and CoreCivic stocks, two private prison corporations, nearly 30 times in 2025. GEO Group’s profits increased by 700% that year and CoreCivic raked in $650 million in ICE contracts — both benefiting Trump’s stock portfolio. Cashing in on his own cruelty.
