Opinion Editorial

Since 2016, warning sirens have been sounding out about the existential threat to democracy in our beloved America. Until now, it seems it has fallen on deaf ears. Well, here we are. The mobsters have taken over the United States. Are we happy? Are we cheering this new amazing Trump administration? Is America being great again, yet? The mobsters in the house are celebrating — engaging in self aggrandizing their ugly accomplishments, basking in their all wonderful vanity and self entitlement.

If you happen to look through the infamous Project 2025 book, you’ll realize a good portion of it has already been implemented. It’s a shocking read and it’s only March of 2025. It’s the same playbook of all dictators that have and still operating around the world today. Project 2025 is Trump’s American Mein Kampf– Hitler’s Project 2025. Almost identical in its form and sense. It means, “My Struggle”.

Trump operatives projected it as a plan to take back America. Restructure America from the ground up. Of course, Trump vehemently denied having anything to do with Project 2025. He just put all the authors and proponents of Project 2025 in his administration’s key positions. What is not clear is –- take back America from who? Who took it?

Nobody took a thing. It’s this rogue administration coming to take from you. Read between the lines—- they mean, take back America to a very dismal time for civil and human rights. A time as far back as 1776 as expressed in Trump’s multiple dog whistles signifying a revolution. MAGA uses it in their propaganda. The 1776 reference showed up on flags, banners, posters, and online. I don’t know about you but, I surely don’t entertain the idea of going backwards. Living in an intolerable world of discrimination, hate, misogyny, racism, and assault doesn’t sound like Making America Great Again – At All.    

Obviously, this is a hostile take over of America by a rogue organization perpetrating a fascist regime by a convicted felon and his minions of corruption, hate and bigotry. They use mob tactics to kill anything good for the country and its people. To beat you down, make you feel small, take away your rights, take your agency, and kill dissent. And your representatives and senators are all onboard with it — letting him do it. Trust is null and void when it comes to anything your representatives will tell you. Their allegiance is with Trump, not America.

None take their oath seriously including Trump who did not even put his hand on the Bible when being sworn in. A gesture of denial. A mindset that he is above the law and disagrees with the constitution of the United States. And the Bible? Just a tool. A prop to further his false legitimacy. Ironically, it’s obviously irreverent to his proclaimed belief in Christianity or the constitution.

They are convinced that, YOU, are wrong to voice your opinion let alone disagree with Mr. Trump. As of late, representatives have resorted to avoiding their own constituents. Absent. Not there. Hiding their heads in the sand. By all appearances, a bit infantile wouldn’t you say? If I can’t see you – you don’t exist. Familiar philosophy—- stop testing for Covid, there will be less cases. Not acknowledging equals– not existent.

We’ll do all these things whether you like it not because we know better than you about your own life. For example, Elon Musk and his DOGE Bros. are dismantling Social Security as we speak. They tell you they are sifting out fraud and waste. Nobody has a problem with eliminating fraud and waste. Nobody likes Astro-Boy and all around diddy-bop Elon Musk, to be rousting around through our personal information either. He has no business interfering in government and must leave now.

Let’s take a look at the real fraud. Musk and Trump are making Social Security impossible to function and destined for failure. Firing people and closing offices is counter to workload demand and stability. After they’ve done that, you are told you can’t conduct business with Social Security over the phone. You’ll have to come in person. So, you go in person just to find out—- your local Social Security office is closed. Nobody home. It’s intentional. That’s what they want to happen. Create chaos intent on causing damage. After it fails, they will claim Social Security isn’t working. What could go wrong, right?

So, what happens next? They dissolve Social Security claiming it doesn’t work anymore and then say, “Social Security is too big and complicated compromised for the government to manage so, we’ll just hand it over to a private company who can manage it”. Brushing their hands off, not the government’s problem anymore. Now it’s your problem. Don’t like it? So what, deal with it. You have to take the brunt of the damage they cause. They want your rights, they want your money to pay the rich-bro-club, and they will give you the middle finger for it.

Its goal– make government useless to the citizens of the U.S. By disabling our valuable institutions they are disabling you of your civil, human rights and public safety protections. This is the plan for most if not all sanctioned institutions in our government. It goes beyond that one citation and so much more.

Closing the Dept. Of Education is a terrible blow to the future of education. Trump is now extorting colleges to bend to his will of white-washing history, eliminate equality as in the government wide eradication of D.E.I initiatives, and put cultural studies in, as it has been stated, receivership by the government. There is no reason for it and it has the element of vindictive bigotry and racism. Trump wants to tell you who you can be, what you can’t be, who you can love and not love, what you can and cannot say. Groom the next generation to be dumbed down to the truth, history and science. You must behave to the liking of Donald Trump or there will be pain.

The intent is to establish an Orwellian dystopian society, run by a tin-pot supreme leader that rules you – not government for the people by the people. Throw out history and the civics rule book. It’s intended to brainwash you to believe in this fascist, right-wing ideology of fake Christianity, Make America Great White Again, America First Alone, and fake democracy.

Trump has and continues to extort colleges to bend to his will by threatening loss of federal funding they receive. Columbia University laid right down like a submissive dog, no argument, and gladly gave Trump what he wanted to the sacrifice of America’s students and their education. Student confidence and enrollment will drop. The university will struggle to stay afloat. Students don’t want fascist indoctrination. They want an education based on fact and truth.

Foreign students are getting their student visas revoked and face deportation for speaking their opinions. Over 300 student visas have been revoked already. It’s the first amendment right of the constitution to all in the United States –- citizen or not. Disappearing out of sight by cloaked ICE spooks, taken to who knows where without cause. No crimes, no warrants, no charges, just taken away. America is getting so great, I can’t stand it.

So, what exactly is Trump’s struggle —- his Mein Kampf? How has life treated this man to cause him struggle? What struggle? Oh that’s right, the self inflicted struggles he makes for himself and blame others for. The struggle of not being allowed to; break the law; extort, treat everyone with impunity; get anything and everything he wants illegally or at the cost of others; not take responsibility for wrong doing; lie; cheat; steal; corrupt, cause deaths, on and on and on. The poster child of criminality and despicable behavior. So how is it he can get away with this? You’ll have to ask the Supreme Court who gave him a favorable ruling of immunity. When a criminal does wrong, give them more freedom to do more harm. It defies simple logic.

Trump is a pathological narcissist with the mentality of a 12 year old. A twelve year old kid could probably do better as president. It’s difficult to swallow that Americans voted for a baby with a pistol to run the country with delusion, paranoia, racism, and conspiracy theories. He believes he is above everything in the world -– including you.

This is the most corrupt and reckless government administration in American history. If you believe these observations are merely left-wing propaganda or the Democrats expressing anti-Trump attack rhetoric, maybe you should look a little deeper to the real truth. Stop being the problem you are looking for. Be the solution for the America you love. Doing the right thing is always the right thing to do.
