Everyone Else Is Terrible
Alright y'all.
It's subscription drive month so you've been getting a lot of these emails the last few weeks from my Bulwark colleagues making earnest and passionate and serious cases for the importance of What It Is We Do Here.
Saving Democracy! Promoting Sanity and Comity! PRESERVING OUR NORMS!
That's all well and good (and true).
But let's just be honest.
The real reason I'm asking you to support The Bulwark is that pretty much everyone else is terrible and we need one another.
I mean isn't that basically why this worked in the first place?
We all thought we would have some fun eviscerating El Horrible Hombre Naranja with florid prose and build a little community while we were at it. Then all of the sudden it began taking off and we realized that actually we NEED you and some of y'all NEED us because The Bulwark has become an oasis of sanity amidst a world that is evil and selfish.
So I'm asking you to consider your Bulwark+ membership a bit of lagniappe. A cheat day Royale with Cheese. It's your little treat in the middle of the darkness that surrounds us. If you commit for a year, itās just $0.28 a day. It gets betterāfor the next few days only, weāre giving you a chance to try on a Bulwark+ membership and see how it fits. First 30 days are FREE. Cancel anytime.
Regardless of whether you pitch in, I just want to say to everyone who comes to the site that I'm so grateful for your support of The Bulwark. Without you I might just be out on the street screaming "CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS SHIT" at random passersby, and let's be honest my therapist only has so many hours in the week.
So I hope you will stick with us another year (and another and another after that).
We're trying real hard to be the shepherd and we've got more work left to do.

P.S. While youāre reading this Iām doing Thursday Night Bulwark with JVL, Amanda and Ben. Iām sorry you're missing it but there is always next week and if you sign up for the 30-day trial you can watch the recording later, here.
If you want to get a little taste of what you get for Bulwark+ right now, we opened up this week's edition of the members-only Next Level podcast so you can hear what you are missing. Iām pretty sure you will enjoy it.
Peace.
