The American people have finally turned on Trump
The Democratic trouncing of the Republicans and the revulsion against the Trump administration are beyond anyone’s imagination.
Language has grown Orwellian: Trump calls the insurrectionists who sacked the Capitol on January 6 “patriots.” He spreads lies with his “truths” on Truth Social. His “SAVE America Act” aims to restrict voting.
Our country – in the grip of a vengeful, Constitution-shredding president and his inner circle of sadistic stooges and rapacious tech allies – was becoming unrecognisable to us and to our former friends around the world.
Immigrants beloved in their communities, and those who defended them, were hunted and gunned down in the streets. Voting rights were eroded at the expense of Black Americans who had fought so hard for them. The Supreme Court, granting Trump near-total immunity and allowing his Ozymandias monuments to himself, has seemed rotten. Tech lords, taking artificial intelligence as their new religion, lavished Crypto King Trump with lucre and received free rein, leading us toward a world especially pernicious to young people and vulnerable to rogue AI agents.
Trump, JD Vance, Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth saw themselves as the guardians of the white manosphere.
Hegseth, as he purged female and Black senior officers and paeans to minority achievements, even took down a web page devoted to Jackie Robinson’s service during WWII. Jackie Robinson! After backlash, it was reinstated.
