About Us

Democracy Not Autocracy (DNA)™ was founded in the wake of the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. That day, we witnessed a coordinated insurrection by MAGA Republicans to undermine the result of a free and fair election and the democratic will of the people.

The founders of DNA were stunned by Donald Trump’s ability to incite this insurrection by convincing his followers that the election was stolen, even as his administration advised that there was no evidence of widespread election fraud. We were equally stunned that the majority of Republican leadership stood by his claims and are now willing to support the re-election of this insurrectionist. This is not the Republican party that used to respect democracy.

We have also seen nefarious politicians around the world enact laws that help them maintain their grip on power; it is now also happening in the U.S. New voting laws have been drafted in MAGA-controlled states, designed to silence a segment of U.S. citizens. Laws that eliminate a woman’s right to control her body and reproductive system, even when her life is in jeopardy, are being enacted all over the United States by these supporters of autocracy. 

We know that evil prevails when good people do nothing, so the founders of DNA have joined the fight to ensure that over 600,000 uniformed service members who have died protecting democracy did not die in vain.

Our Mission

DNA’s mission is to spread the idea that we must protect democracy and speak out in its defense. To do so, we must work against those who threaten to erode democracy so they may not have the power to undermine our Constitution. “Democracy Not Autocracy!” is the new battle cry for all patriotic Americans that support this mission.

By wearing the message in public and in the media, you can demonstrate to the opponents of democracy that they will not prevail. More so, you are helping fund the fight against them. A portion of the net profits from every purchase is donated to DNA-vetted groups that share our mission to support those who defend democracy.

Currently, the most viable opponent to the MAGA constituency is Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats running against the MAGA politicians in State elections. Although DNA recognizes the prospects of future third-party candidates and traditional Republicans who support the democratic process, they currently offer no viable solution to defeat the MAGA Republicans controlled by Donald Trump.

An autocratic President, and a Congress that is too fearful of his supporters to keep him in check, are a clear threat to the American way of life and antithetical to our Founding Fathers’ vision. Until MAGA Republicans learn to love the Constitution more than they hate liberals, they cannot be trusted to preserve democracy.
