At a Democratic event in New Hampshire, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker delivered a powerful speech urging Americans to actively oppose lawmakers complicit in Trumpâs agenda. He emphasized the urgency of fighting back against the MAGA movement, calling for robust activism and firm retribution at the ballot box. Pritzker highlighted his administration's achievements but stressed the looming threat of authoritarianism. He criticized Democrats for not defending vulnerable communities with enough courage, warning that failure to assertively confront such threats could have dire consequences for democracy.
"We must castigate them on the soap box and then punish them at the ballot box... the culture of incrementalism that has led us to swallow the cruelty and the callousness with barely a cowardly croak."
"They must feel in their bones that when we survive this shameful episode of American history with our democracy intact... we will relegate their portraits to the museum halls reserved for tyrants and traitors."
