  • Americans still believe that they live in a democratic, humane and civilized society. That the USA is the embodiment of freedom, justice, democracy. Some believe that it was so but now Trump has changed it.

    The truth is that the USA has never been that, Trump simply does not pretend like his predecessors. For example, in 1941 Japan bombed a US military base and destroyed warships. What did the USA do? First they made camps and imprisoned all the Japanese (including women and children) who lived in the USA who had nothing to do with the Japanese attack. They were Japanese and that was their sin. Then without a shred of remorse they dropped two nuclear bombs on cities where civilians (children) live and killed 200,000 to 300,000 people, almost all civilians, women, children. Those crimes against humanity were not committed by Trump but by Roosevelt and Truman.

    The problem in the US is much deeper than Trump/MAGA vs. Liberals/Woke and is not from now or 5-10 years ago. Those who think it can’t get any worse are wrong. There will be rigged elections, banned opposition, imprisonment of all who speak out against Trump/MAGA. The US will become Russia, a state controlled by oligarchs. Someone will think that it’s lucky that Trump is 79 years old and can’t last long, but if they manage to rig/annul the next elections this (and even worse) will last at least another 20 years regardless of whether Trump is in power or not, there is always a successor.

    Every dictator came to power through elections (Mussolini, Hitler, Alexander Lukashenko, Vladimir Putin, Hugo Chávez, …), not one of them gave up power through elections. They will do anything to stay in power, absolutely anything, there is no law/morality that would stop them.
