It would be interesting to see the results of a large poll in which Americans were asked their viewpoints of Trump’s actions since his return to the White House in January 2024, Imagine we had to choose precisely one of the following:
a) I approve, largely or completely, of what Trump has done thus far.
b) I disapprove of his decision to impose tariffs on neighboring allies.
c) I disapprove of his aligning with Putin/Russia, rather than than Ukraine/NATO allies.
d) I disapprove of his treatment of immigrants.
e) I disapprove of his dismantling key parts of the U.S. federal government.
f) I disapprove of his stance on climate and the environment.
g) I disapprove of something else not listed above.
What Bernie Sanders seems to be saying above is that c) is a big deal. FWIW, I agree.
There are essentially two forms of government on this planet: those that care about the wellbeing of their citizens and serve their interests and those that don’t.
Until the late 20th Century, one could have plausibly argued either way re: the United States. Since about 1980, it’s been clear that we really couldn’t care less about the sufferings of the common American.
It’s really become part of our brand. Billionaires deserve tax cuts. The middle class is shrinking, and the poor deserve a kick in the ass for not working harder.
Just nominate some well-educated businessman or city mayor — or maybe just a principled lobster fisherman.
Maine: This shouldn’t be too tough a challenge.
Every day, our nation’s face is pushed a little bit further into the toilet.
