Trump, Pushing It
DONALD TRUMP'S two main gigs right now seem to be flexing his muscles by turning cities into police states, and rigging America's political future by forcing Republicans into power, unfairly. The two projects are in perfect harmony with each other, in consolodating and concentrating Trump's power, and stacking Congress with more than enough support to achieve this. There seems to be widespread agreement than filling the streets of the nation's capitol with police and military has nothing to do with fighting, reducing, or eliminating crime and homelessness, but rather, with Trump seizing and displaying raw, naked power. His supporters, who formerly were liberty, freedom, and small government conservatives, have now, through necessity, magically transformed into rank and file sycophantic supporters of authoritarian governance. Both of these illegal, unconstittional Trump initiatives will, it is to be hoped, either lose steam and fade away gradually, naturally, or engender such an outburst of popular protest that they are terminated by Congress, or the courts. No matter what, both militarization and gerrymandering seem to have the general support, tacit or otherwise, of MAGA, as all of Trump's crazy illegal policies tend to. Trump has already indicated his desire to do unto other major American cities that which he has already done to Washington D.C. He has mentioned Los Angeles, Baltimore, Chicago and New York as possible targets. In every city, crime, violent crime, and murder have all decreased significantly after an initial pandemic related spike. Generally, crime has been going down in the U.S. for thirty years, and it currently at a thirty year low. This sudden initiative to make America safe from crime is, experts attest, unnecessary, unprecedented, and unlawful. You could add "unwise", and "unsane". Nobody should make the mistake of thinking that Donald Trump is currently acting with the best interests of these United States in his warped mind. Every word he utters, every deed he undertakes, is intended to serve only one purpose,; his own welfare. Whoever doen't understand that by now, never will. Mass deportations and incarcerations of dark skinned immigrants fits in well with the rest of Trump's fascistic agenda; however, with regard to this, there are red flags rising, warnings being issued. Very rapidly, in a matter of mere weeks, the attitude of the American people has shifted dramatically on the issue of millions of undocumented immigrants living in the United States, and what to do about them. The American people,a majority thereof, have recently embraced a pro immigrant point of view, and pprefer that they be allowed to remain in the country, work, and be given a pathway to citizenship. Again, that is a sudden, dramatic shift, and it is probably fueld by media coverage, including shocking video,of people bieng harassed, biolently rounded up on teh strees, and being incarcerated in horrible places like "alligator Alcatraz", living in squalor and horrible living conditions, much publicized. Trump, his gestapo,and extreme right wing America have overplayed their hand in their "tough on immigration" policy, have gone way too far, and are now reapingtheir just tewards; the anger and indignation of we the common,mainstream, decent American people. At some point, sooner rather than later, if Trump keeps pushing his agenda of policing cities, rigging elections, and brutalizing people on the streets, he'll push it too far, and a large majority of America will let him know it, very bluntly. Its already starting to happen. Trump's numbers are tanking. Trump always tries to fly too high, crashes, and burns. For America's sake, he needs all the help he can get.
