The Crumbling of America as We Know It

No matter what you think about what is currently happening in our federal system it is clear that we are reverting back in time.

Fundamental systems that once liberated Americans from unjust exploitation are being defunded, dismantled, and eradicated.

The systems that Donald Trump and his appointees are tearing apart are just the start.

Now here's where opinions will differ by party... This is not good. At all. These aren't reforms of the system, it's a complete crippling of some of the fundamental things that keep us Americans going.

So many Americans have been fooled into thinking that the world we live in stands on different legs than it really does. It's easy to see government as just a tool for corruption with the money going towards bloated programs and that does exist but we must remember that with great-oversight the benefits these programs give us VASTLY outweigh the harm they do.

MAGA has spent the last eight years working on poking bigger holes in the trust for our government, holes that already existed. The Republicans in Congress have done nothing but stall government to help Americans feel even more as if it doesn't work and it's full of corruption.

In reality stalled government is the very thing that Republicans were attempting to do. 

Doing so allows them to say in a broader sense "hey look the system clearly isn't working let's get rid of it" when in fact they were the broken piece the entire time. 

We're not even a month into this presidency and we have unprecedented change within our federal executive system, change that has done irreparable harm even if it were to be reversed today.  

Outside of a general strike the only things that the voters have in our arsenal of democracy is the ability to protest, organize, and prepare for the 2026 midterms.

These next four years will decide how permanent these changes are but the United States of America as we know it was changed forever on election day, 2024.
