Yes, we are indeed about to find out.
If the week since the inauguration is predictive of the coming months and years, one has to expect that Trump’s agenda, whose only true beneficiary is the president himself, will soon render everything this country formerly stood for completely void–certainly anything that formerly addressed the welfare of the common person.
Needless to say, we brought this on ourselves. Through some process invisible to people like you and me, Trump managed to make the felony indictments associated with his attempting to overthrow the U.S. government, inciting an insurrection, and stealing classified documents — all simply disappear.
We want to know how precisely any of this could have happened. Merrick Garland couldn’t have done a better job? We had a justice system. How could it have simply disappeared?
As shown here, we live in a society that glorifies the very worst traits of the human animal and seems to be on a rocket ride to its own destruction.
Ignorance has terrific value to the billionaire class. If you’re filthy rich, you really don’t want a nation full of people learning that pure market capitalism is, by its very nature, exploitative, or that the consumption of fossil fuels is destroying our planet’s capacity to support life.
The Trump administration and congressional Republicans are exceptionally good at focusing the MAGA base on problems that don’t exist.
What bathrooms should trans people use? Well, before we work ourselves into a frenzy, let’s ask ourselves if this is an issue that is really harming the good people of this nation.
Keep in mind that 60% of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck and are struggling to afford groceries.
