It took one of the democracies in Europe only 53 days to surrender to fascism. Democratic democracy already in America feels that it will reach that terrible moment much closer. Trumposin is a surreal scene and confusion that invaded a lot of American culture and policy.
Donald Trump and his movement campaign in Maga move against American democracy and society very quickly. The American people, their leaders, the officials, the main media, and the so -called rotating rotation and dizziness have left.
In the story of the Associated Press news agency. “Trump is moving at the speed of light and brute power in shaking the essence of what America was.”Calvin Woodward tells the past six weeks:
President Donald Trump It moves quickly light and brutal power to break the current system and reshape America at home and abroad. Love He calls himself a king.
No one can absorb everything. By the time you try to treat one big thing – he loves Greenland, Canada, Panama Channel and Gaza; Retract Historical alliances And Ukraine; Fires Several thousand federal workersThen return some right. Raises Whether it will obey the laws he does not like; He orders a face around the department’s missions after the department; He announces that there Only two sexesWhat are the federal documents from now on. He declares heavy tariffsHe hangs them, then imposes some other big things that occurred.
Trump’s basic supporters are happy What they see. Those who do not like him watch in terror. The nation is far from any consensus on what makes America great and what might make it drown.
What cannot be denied is that Trump has entered into changing the most severe trend in the country since Franklin Roosevelt in the Great Depression. But the long -term effects of Trump’s national reset, and thus its heritage, cannot be determined yet …
“The last month was completely special in American history,” said Cal Gillson, constitutional and presidential researcher at South Methodist University. “We never had an American president that decisively moved against the law and the constitution. We are in a dangerous place.”
It was assumed that the voters who put Trump in his post for the second time would expect such a result. Moreover, this is exactly what many of them want from one of the tyranny elected in tyranny, who literally promised to be a dictator on the “first day” of his “presidency”. What many Trump voters may not expect is that they are also-not only Democrats, the media, the black and brown people, the LGBTQ community, the women, the “retirees” and other alleged enemies-will be spinning, feel weak and harmful by their president and the policies of the Maga Republican party. Public opinion polls show that Trump’s voters want a leader who shakes things and break the rules of people like them. The first part of their dark desire came. They got everything that comes with him. However, they made a mistake in believing that Trump is really concerned with anyone other than himself and his pursuit of corrupt and absolute power in all his many forms.
In a very sharp and exemption article in London’s Books Review on Trumposine And her main character, Donald Trump, notes TJ Clark:
It is not news that Trump is a creature of the Mashhad Association. Creator and Master, emissions and accelerated. It is the picture. Mugshot. It is the image of itself on the Fox sitting for hours every day – they are truly understanding that doing this is to do politics and politics as our society is now practicing. Judgment? We leave it to serve. (What a beautiful past voice there for a period of “government” Michel Foucault. Only the upscars that believe that the state is the rule. The leaders of the empires are in retreat who look through the eleventh and wonder whether it could be serious about infrastructure, control, party discipline and the size of the army. It was not yesterday?).
The scene knows itself, after fashion. She loves gesture and dips in her subjects, including those in the joke. The fact that Trump is ridiculous part of his mastery. The fact that he knows that he – knows what his absurdity is – another …
The policy of the empire in retreat is always a mixture of cruelty and irony. (Ask the British. Compassionate From the imperial disintegration that may occur over the next fifty years. We are at the beginning of the end of American hegemony. The crushing dominance until it will resist the latter.
Clark continues:
Trump is an early warning signal. It is a phenomenon of transition, only half has been modified to the emerging reality. Of course, he is not a fool like the belief that it will make America great again; But his policy must direct a path between those in his fans who believe this, or make it, and those who are, who are there for fun. They sarcastically as it is. Or rather, it is serious in the scene. About chanting, hats, and an insult. They know this is politics now. They know what politics is not allowed to overlap with: that is, everything is just described by the empire.
The point that often indicates about Maga’s vote to worsen its condition is correct (for most of them if not all), but it has no bite when the voters are persuaded that the other party has no intention to improve it. The shallow state, and the deep economy. On Trump’s style. Its mixture of insult, erytment, and the papon is a genius action.
A series of new public opinion polls shows a growing (albeit modest) wave of rejection of Trump’s policies and behavior. It seems that more Americans finally direct themselves and realize that Trump’s existential dangers towards democracy, institutions, rules, freedom, constitution, rule of law, human rights and the American people are very real – not just a party by Democrats and others who oppose Trump.
Trump and his consultants see politics through the lens and the existential battlefield. Caspian is a military strategy that applies to American policy, the success of “shock and dread” and “Blitzkrieg” (lightning war) is largely measured by how to leave the target (goals) very stressful and so confused that once they recover (if it is at all), then the time will be too late to swing effectively and appear to defense and then.
Among their many failures in imagination, Democrats, centers and other votes of the Foundation rejected that they were in such a personal and societal conflict. These failures are some of the main reasons why President Trump and project engineers 2025, for example.
But American democracy is not yet terrible.
The Democratic Party has recently begun to act like the opposition party – albeit weak, does not really know the “opposition”. However, there are some signs that the Democratic Party finally finds steel. The leaders of the Democratic Party, at least at the present time, refuse to cooperate with the passing of Donald Trump and the budget of his Republican Party, which will take trillions of the US people’s dollars away from the most and most entitled to them and give them to millionaires, billionaires, and other chipottocrats and bluetocrats.
Trump’s challenges are unconstitutional and other illegal executive orders and other Diktats and orders are successfully placed in the courts (By CNN, 80 legal challenges were presented). The question is now how and if the Trump administration is committed to rulings.
It seems that the resistance movement that moved to the streets during the first period of Trump has decided that such a outdated strategy is trying to know the effective form in 2024 and beyond. But there are brands that the resistance finally wakes up. Washington Post reports:
Little by little, after a preliminary stage of amazing confusion, Trump’s broader resistance began to wake up.
“There is a lot of anger, as we see in the red red areas that people control that people are going out,” said Fayez Shaker, Sanders, Senior Political Consultant. “They are surprising these people [Republican] Members of Congress who do not expect this when trying to defend Elon Musk, they will get an aggressive screaming. You can’t make this if you try. “
Ezra Levin, co -executive director of the Non -Retamented Progressive Group, said she has grown nearly 1,000 local groups to 1500 groups since the elections. Moveon activists organized 60 events last week, including protests outside the offices of members of the Republican House of Representatives, and some of them draw several hundreds of participants.
Levin said that Trump’s opposition originated as soon as he was elected, but it became more clear in recent days. “We have seen an increase in energy that we have not seen since 2017,” Levin said. “It has now become more clear outside the community centers, and the living rooms – they are now in the eyes of the audience.”
This year’s resistance takes a different form than it was in 2017, when celebrities issued emotional data and opponents who launched Mass Street protests. This time, the president’s opponents aim to fire more selectively, and direct political and legal attacks against the specific Trump policies that they believe are harmful and unpopular.
What about the main media? Pointing for fear, self -preservation, and increasing profits, the main media, as an institution, often chose a copy of preventive surrender and pre -emptive compliance that involves the normalization and management of President Trump and the anti -democracy movement. For example, journalists and other voices who are considered “problematic” are forced by the Trump administration and the Grand and right Maga. Each of the book of columns and other voices is active actively through management and learning to adapt quickly to the limits imposed on them – even if these limits and the palace are not explicitly connected. Perhaps it is more concerned about what it ultimately means for American democratic culture and the first amendment. The media is subject to control over themselves to avoid the anger of the Trump administration and its allies who consider them the “enemy of the people.”
“If democracy dies in the dark,” many elite media in the country chose to reduce their own lights. The American people will be left in the dark. Donald Trump, right -wing and experience will be present to shed light on it with its own version of the reality and the approved “national” truth.
A few weeks before Donald Trump (the second), I asked Major media critic Dan Fromkin about his ideas on how the media responded to Trump’s return to power. Froomkin told me the following:
I feel disgusting about how the traditional media prevalent in its transfer to the American people failed that Trump is a severe threat to our national security and any number of basic American values. I feel disgusted with how the media refused to give the Biden administration to the tremendous economy and allowed many people to believe that the crime was rising and immigration as an existential threat. I am also disappointed that the media has been misled and long by White House officials about Biden’s fitness to run for his re -election. All in all, it was a very terrible year for the main media.
I was surprised by the election of Trump. I am still amazed. I still can’t believe that many Americans have been absorbed very badly. I am menopause. I am preparing for myself to work more seriously. In addition to my work as a media critic, I start a news message about the resistance. The newsletter is called newsletter He heads news.
I don’t think we are mysteriously ready for what will happen. I expect a large -scale attack on the government by people who will lead this soon, and I expect catastrophic results in terms of hordes of good people who are shot, justice is armed, and the government -saving government regulations are given effectively. I am concerned that civil society is not on the level of effective resistance task, but I hope I am wrong.
Weeks are like years so far. Donald Trump was 36 -day president. Things are now much worse.
