Hello, my name is Dylan Montz, and I am a resident of Kalispell.
I have messaged every member of our government with no response. Now I am messagingyou, in hopes I
can be listened to, because I am very very afraid for our future.
I am emailingyou because our democracy is at immediate risk, and history is repeating itself.What
Donald Trump and Eton Musk are doing mirrors the actions of past authoritarian regimes. It tookjust 53
days for Hitler to dismantle Germany's democracy. 53 days. He used executive orders, erased
marginalized groups, and silenced opposition—while too many stood by and did nothing.
Trump's executive order erases transgender and intersex people from legal recognition—just like Hitler
erased Jewish and trans people from legal records before persecution began.
Eton Musk now has access to the U.S. Treasury's financial system—just like Putin's oligarchs seized
control of Russia's wealth to consolidate power.
Trump is erasingvital medical information from our government and silencing opposition just like Hitler
suppressed science and banned opposingviews.
Trump is dismantling government agencies, firing oversight officials, and gutting institutions like USAID
and the Department of Education—just like Hitler replaced government officials with loyalists to
eliminate accountability.
We are running out of time. If we do not all act, our democracy will be gone.
