this whole rant is going to sound very doomer and dramatic but that shows how critical this has become, and i could honestly care less if people make fun of me for it:
the US is slowly becoming an authoritarian state and no one seems to give a shit about it. Trump and the republican party have evaded any form of punishment or major backlash for completely disregarding basic constitutional rights that have been upheld since they're inception. people are being taken out of their homes and from their families under the broad assumption that they are "illegal" or "dangerous" but completely untrained and unprofessional lunatics in tactical gear and face masks, parading as ICE. the government is denying access to a list of p_dophiles that stretches all the way to the bowels of our federal government. Trump and his cabinet seem to think that the system and the people a part of it are a complete fucking joke, stepping all over it without a care in the world. scandal after scandal with the people who support and are actively in the republican party is brushed off as soon as it happens. they do whatever the fuck the want, no matter how stupid and insane it is. here's a quick list of what the party had done in only its first DAY, mainly trump:
-illegally using bitcoin and other means to directly fund trumps presidential campaign
-attempting to remove citizenship by birthright
-giving out pardons to trump supporters convicted of crimes such as drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and the sexual eploitation of a minor
-pulling out of WHO (World Health Organization), breaking international law
-firing thousands of federal employees without clear reason through a phony government department run buy a private citizen, also which being the richest person on the planet
-instating unlawful bans on USAID payments, travel to and from the country, and border control policies to send in federal troops and ICE
and many, many, many more
the entirety of all of the crimes that trump and his party have committed over the course of this year could rival the size of the fucking Bible. and congress or the Supreme Court dont seem to give two shits about it. in fact, they have seemingly been bending to his will. I cannot stress this enough that our freedom and the US democracy itself are actively being challenged and attacked. if something doesn't happen in the next year or two, we could lose what this country has been for nearly 250 years. the only thing we can really do is vote while we still can, and tell this administration that they cant fucking do this. as much as this country has flaws, I will not sit idly by as it is destroyed and turned into an authoritarian nightmare.
sorry for the rant y'all, just felt the need to get these thoughts out there. I wish the people who need to see this would, but sadly thats not the case. all i can do now is hope that things get better i guess.
this was meant to be a comment of the "Tell me your opinions on US politics" forum, but it obviously had become too lengthy.
