Re: Trump’s action here, a reader remarks:
Same as his first term following Obama. Just reverse everything good or bad to eliminate any legacy of their time as President. It is also important that the opposing political party’s successes be forgotten so they can’t score favorably in future elections.
There is clearly a lot of truth here.
I would only add that there is also a motivation to excite the far-right-wing, especially the anti-intellectual MAGA crowd. Promote white nationalism. Pardon violent pro-Trump criminals. Punish the immigrants. Destroy the environment and bake the planet. Kill public education. Jettison medical science.
In any case, this is a tragedy for 99+% of Americans, and less directly, for all the world’s people and its other life forms. The United States is led by a man whose only concern is his own wealth and power, who is completely happy to inflict suffering on his country’s people if doing serves his own ends.
The author of the meme at left writes, “We’re the only ones.”
This is completely incorrect, not that you care about facts and truth. Over 30 countries, primarily in the Americas, offer unconditional birthright citizenship, granting citizenship to almost anyone born within their territory, regardless of their parents’ status.
For those who struggle with elementary school arithmetic, Trump won the election (50%+ approval) out of more than 150 million votes cast, and now his approval rating is in the low 30s.
That’s ~30 million voters who regret their choices, out of the common American.
Add in the Tucker Carlsons of the world.
Absolutely.
It must be done, because our country is home to some hateful morons who want to see honest, hardworking, taxpaying people with brown skin deported, and their families torn apart.
It wasn’t the American way until recently, but it sure is now.
