While Americans are being told to tighten their belts, brace for war, and accept daily violence as normal, Trump is throwing Gatsby-style parties and building a golden ballroom after tearing down the East Wing. Veterans are losing health care. Millions are about to be priced out of insurance. There are active shooter alerts on college campuses. And yet, he shrugs off Epstein photos as “no big deal,” deploys 15,000 troops without a word from Congress, and flirts with dictators on the world stage. This is an authoritarian destroying our country.
Thank you, Heather. I remain optimistic while also acknowledging that we are living through societal collapse. My brain is often a ping pong ball bouncing between the belief we will make our way out of this and that we won't because too much damage has already been done. Too much rot. Shootings and floods while Trump parties makes me seethe. I watch the first snow of the season in New York and wonder what insanity today will bring. What a time we are living in.
