About Rick Wilson
First, thanks for joining my Substack community, whether you’re on the free side or as a paid subscriber. Your engagement, encouragement, and support mean more than I can express.
You might be wondering why I've chosen to launch this Substack, and the answer is simple: eight years ago — yes, the moment Donald Trump slithered down that damn escalator — I embarked on a deeply personal and transformative journey from my former Republican roots.
I’d spent a lifetime in professional politics, and on that day in 2015, my conscience stirred. I couldn’t take another minute of pretending Trump was anything but a disaster for this nation and the world. So I spoke out.
