when Donald Trump She appeared on a national television program and said.Meet“Kristen Wilker’s host Unaware Whether he is forced as head of Constitution supportAmerica has suffered an unexpected and unprecedented question: To what extent we went as a country?
The answer, very far.
To be sure, this man, at least, did not start to clarify his fascist tendencies loudly, and this is not the first time that we were in this problem a lot. In the midst of a hurricane of chaos for more than 50 years, we were at least back to the Watergate scandal, when another Republican president, Richard Nixon, tried to steal the elections by requesting the interruption of the opposition party, who were in the middle of the candidate, George McFran, against them to fulfill.
The chaos on the ground exceeded the process of robbery in the office in Washington, DC, a secret monitoring process, Cointelpro (the abbreviation of the “anti -intelligent program)) was established years ago by the FBI to the survey and the disruption of the political organizations that J The Federal Bureau of Investigations has done an illegal coordination with the CIA, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the military intelligence personnel in all unified services and the local police forces that provided the secret agents as infiltrators. Groups and individuals will include Martin Luther King, the Communist Party, the United States of America, civil rights organizations such as the Nunism Coordination Committee for Students (SNCC), black panthers groups, anti -war groups, the difference between organizations, the environment, national groups, increased, gatherings in the field of environment, increased, and national specifications. Phones were abandoned, membership infiltrated by agents and informants, groups were disrupted using false reports in the media, wrong documents, wrong arrests, the major jury accused of investigating leaders, members of groups such as VVAW that led to advanced leadership, attached to charges, advanced leadership, Chicago apartment.
The persons I knew and me, they were mocking and followed by the FBI and military intelligence agents. My FBI file alone is more than an inch, and I have never been able to get my hand on the files you keep in military intelligence, the CIA and the National Intelligence Agency. The persons I knew were arrested on a false charge and imprisoned under sums of inflated bail. One of the persons I knew, a major leader of the anti -war movement and an anti -culture figure, has intentionally injured hepatitis by the police station who arrested him so that they could lie from a blood test that was not given to any of the other detainees.
That was just the Nixon administration.
In subsequent years, more chaos was afflicted, including the Iranian illegal process during the reign of Ronald Reagan, forgery of intelligence and explicit lies that led us to the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. These two invaders will cause more than 7,000 members of the US Army, in addition to countless fighters and civilians who were killed in wars that we should not have waged in the first place.
“People are not satisfied with the direction that Donald Trump wants to take the country in which they participated in twice the number of protests in the streets against Trump and his policies more than in the first 100 days of Trump’s first state in his post.”
While all of this was happening, our policies at home had rhetorical weapons known by personalities such as Newt Gingrich and the movements within the Republican Party such as the Tea Party and right -wing Congress groups such as freedom of freedom.
By the time Donald Trump, the famous golden elevator, descended in 2015 and won his position with the help of foreign actors such as Russian intelligence, this country has become pressured for the political scandal and non -chaos. Trump can be seen to overthrow the 2020 election as Watergate, Iran Contra or the lying festival that prompted us to Iraq and Afghanistan. In short, every piece, 50 years of political scandals, accumulated one on the other hand until it seemed that it prevented the sun.
How did our country survive this terrible storm of political chaos? Elected officials in Congress, judges and judges in our courts have imposed an order on those who will strip our democracy of its meaning and functions.
This happened when Congress stood up to Nixon, and threatened accountability, forced his resignation. But this did not happen when George W. Bush was forcing us on one lie after another in two wars that we should never wage. This did not happen when the Ministry of Justice tried to investigate the first corrupt campaign of Donald Trump with the office of the Special Adviser run by Robert Muller. This did not happen when the House of Representatives brought the weakness of the dismissal materials against Donald Trump and the Senate refused to condemn it. This did not happen when the Supreme Court out of control of the United States decided against Trump that this president, and indeed presidents in the future, have almost unlimited immunity of judicial prosecution not only because of the official measures taken during service, but for many measures taken after leaving the position.
However, there was a positive movement in our democracy.
On Monday, Robert Reish informed in Badila that Farid Vertiamar, the former general adviser to the non -party governmental control Authority, delivered a speech last week when he received the Paul E Prize. Douglas about the ethics of the government for the year 2025. Only the fact that such a prize exists, and that there was a man like Farid and Yarthiaimer there, is that there be alignment for us. Reich asked if the recent events with Trump had frustrated him. Here is how Reiks described Weritheimer: “Inhibitor?” He said, I was almost surprised.
In his speech on the 143 executive commands issued by Donald Trump. But then continued to report that “these executive orders have resulted in them 222 Legal Challenges and At least 123 court ruling The administration’s procedures, with preliminary orders and temporary restrictions issued on the basis of serious doubts about the legitimacy of the administration’s actions. “
This is an optimistic sign for our country. But it is not enough. As Wertheimer pointed out, the Trump administration’s response was to attack judges and call for their isolation, and to attack persons who filed lawsuits seeking to control Trump’s executive orders, and try to violate or ignore some of the judges’ orders resulting from cases.

The Congress is currently consisting, with the Republican majority in both wrapped, a dead speech when it comes to restricting the non -democratic madness of this president. Since this Republican -controlled Congress cannot rely, the election of Democrats to the next Congress has become a top priority not only for Democrats, but for Americans who think about the correct. I say “right thinking” because Recent opinion polls revealed how Trump became unpopular and many of his policies. Trump’s attempts to dismantle the federal government are only supported by Republicans, but even their support is not mysterious in all fields. People are not happy to cancel grants to reach cancer treatments, heart disease and other diseases that touch many American families. People love clean air and clean water and tend to oppose attempts to weaken the laws that protect both. People support clean energy in general and against energy production, such as energy generation plants that burn coal. People support the democratic principles stipulated in our constitution, such as equality in rights under the law and the right to due legal procedures and citizenship. People boycott Tesla cars from Elon Musk to the point that the company’s share price in the tank. Even people protest against their feet against companies such as Target, which quickly connects it to Trump’s demands to cancel the Dei programs that lead to a more working force for the societies where the stores are located.
People are not satisfied with the direction that Donald Trump wants to take the country in which they participated in the weak number of protests in the streets against Trump and his policies more than in the first 100 days of Trump’s first state in his post. According to the Guardian newspaper, in February alone, there were 2085 protests. There are reports that the protests in the city halls kept by the Republican members of the Congress caused the leadership of Republicans to inform members of canceling the city halls or restricting admission to supporters only.
A new ecosystem for gathering and distributing news arose because people are not satisfied with the main media such as the Washington Post-which went to Trump under the property of Jeff Bezos, who is winning Trump-New York Times, which almost daily seems to reach the addresses of the story and reports that reduce Trump’s anti-bloody behavior. People share alternative columns and other online ports that provide reports and analyzes that fill the voids left by fading and the failure of men who have sex with men. A whole world of podcasts and video reports arose to repair and replace the cable news and the network that is increasingly seen as not related to what people want and need.
All this should give us hope, but more is needed. Alternative columns such as Robert Hubbell, Joyce Vance and Heather Cox Richardson increased their general manifestations to publicly talk about how Donald Trump destroyed this country and our democracy. I was invited to speak here in Milford, Pennsylvania, on May 14 at a meeting of a local activist group called Dilayer Valley. The title is 315 Broad Street, and time is 6:30 pm. My notes will be available as well Enlargement. I have decided that I will join my colleagues in the book “My Lesusy” in speaking publicly, and I will accept any invitation that I receive depending on my schedule and good to travel to the place.
The answer to lies is to speak the truth. The answer to repression is to stand and take a position. The answer to fear is courage. The answer to an attempt to close American political life is heading to the streets. The answer to tyranny is political freedom. The answer to the feeling of loneliness stands together.
