What do progressives hope for, given the runaway criminality of the U.S. president?
The woman at left is what is properly called a “radical,” from the Latin for “root.” Pull it out by its roots, or in this case, burn it to the ground. I’ve heard this viewpoint expressed dozens of times, most recently by the wife of an old school chum.
I’m as disgusted by the downward spiral that Trump is inflicting upon the United States is experiencing as the next guy, but I can’t get on board with this.
My message here: every decent U.S. citizen wants this turned around, but we can do this without ruining the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans. Trump is suffering a plummeting decline in voter supporter. We’re more than halfway home back to reason, compassion for others, and most of all, rule of law.
I appreciate how upset you are, but I beg you to reconsider.
This is what we voted for; it’s what carried the day in 2024.
Twenty years ago, you wouldn’t have been able to get one out of ten Americans to agree to such a blatantly racist and hateful statement.
From DW Africa:
Burkina Faso’s military leader, Ibrahim Traore, has said the country should “forget about democracy,” in one of his clearest signs yet that military rule could continue for years. Traore seized power in a coup in September 2022, overthrowing another junta that had itself taken control just nine months earlier. Since then, he has tightened his grip on power, suppressing opposition and banning political parties in January. He had initially promised a return to civilian rule, but later delayed elections, arguing that Burkina Faso remained too insecure because of ongoing Islamist insurgencies. Last year, the junta extended the transition period, allowing Traore to stay in office until 2029. His remarks suggest Burkina Faso is moving even further away from its earlier pledge to restore democratic governance.
The story above is an extremely common one in the developing world and illustrates a critically important point: once a democracy is lost, it’s almost impossible to recover.
America: Take Heed.
Although we can’t see behind the scenes, it appears that what I predicted is actually happening. i.e., that out top generals and admirals are refusing help the Trump administration commit war crimes.
