For many years we have read the stories about antidemocratic countries abroad – Supreme leaders surrounding residents, troops of oppression staff, killing military killers.
For a period of this month, I am overseas. And the antidemocratic country I read is myself.
Vacation news tuning proves impossible. Each day brings another to read anger, showing overbound policies and approaching climate Wannabe Forthnman Donald Trump fostered the United States.
From the vantage of a sea away, even as a visitor to a developing country with self-relanced problems with provisiont perfect authorities in provtions in provtions in provings
For sight, I read President Reagan again Enable address: Trump takes America away from the shining “City on a hill” Reagan, the Republican icon of Yesternyear, turns the Republican in Yesternyear’s Republican. And far from our own image as a land of immigrants and a balwale freedom, democracy and rule of law. The city of Reagan on a hill “includes people with all kinds that live in harmony with harmony and peace.” If you have to have walls, he said, “The walls have doors and the doors are open to anyone with the will and heart to reach here.”
Like that.
As I turned off for my rest, US news was dominated by Tawdry Breakup in Trump and “First Buddy” Elon Musk. But then that Sophomoric Saga was overshadowed by more serious stuff – starting with military-style raids through thuggish agents from immigration and customs enforcement, rounding up migrants, including children, for detention and deportation.
It’s a drama that keeps from Big-City la to a small town Great Barrington, Mass.of limited hotels, meat and restaurants. The illustrations of the shock troops become familiar: many masks facing masks and no badges to identify themselves. They often do not wear recognizable uniforms. They don’t have warrants but lots of guns. And migrants disappeared in their unsaved cars. To which, families did not say; If they know, it is always late to help their loved ones express their appropriate process rights.
On Day 2 on my vacation, Trump took everything but never had a step in The California National Guard Federal To act against the protesters in LA, in Gov opposition. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass and despite police insecurities that local law enforcement can control the demonstrations of demonstrations. Next comes the marines.
Just as raising chaos, as Drama King Trump, who was in charge as he was still on the reality TV show, for sure. With Los Angeles as a test of land, he may find a pretext to share 1807 instructional instructions to prevent the country in the country of opposing country. He was on the idea of his first presidency. At that time he was constrained by responsible counselors; Now he surrounds himself with sycophants.
Meanwhile, he is as wrong as his or her policy to expelled as the tariffs. First Trump post That he brightened the farm, attacking the restaurant and hotel because the industries complained that they lost “very long, long-term workers.” But the days later, he directed Ice expands LA and other major cities where democrats, he lied, “use illegal aliens” to deceive elections and steal jobs from citizens.
Between Mayhem, the chief commander traveled to Fort Bragg, NC, and disgracefully crossing the line, since construction, the political military prevents. she tire The young troops he talked about – IS reported Topped for their political leanings – to get it over. He began to boast about the revision of former President Joe Biden in the Confederate Wradador names from military bases, and throughout boos are encouraged Against Biden, Newsom, Bass and Democrats generally, and applause for himself. He wears a swing cap. Such merch is sold.
At night, he got the military parade he liked. Or maybe not: it’s more historical than martial; Instead of goose-stepping across the capital, troops involved, smiling and made the hearts in hand. And it was attended by speed. The national “no king” are WOUNLPROTESTS not.
Trump’s overreach overreach earned by America’s reputation, especially in just a few weeks in June, heavy. Five democratic politicians are confined or arrested. A countless number of workers – not criminals, and many here legal – removed and sometimes lost from their families, work,, communities and even the country. The armed military facing peaceful protesters and protests of ice and FBI agents as they removed people from the road with no significant process.
At Tuesday, California Sen. Alex Padilla – five days ago on the floor Kristiland Kristian from Socialists – delivers an emotional language to socomists. In the US history, he said, “We have trouble. But we have no tyranny a commander in the trunk.”
Up to date.
Reagan finished his farewell to a penny that was 36 years ago: America, he said, “another magnet for all that has freedom.” No more. Although many citizens live fearing for their freedoms; I heard from them. And I feel it myself – no more than I’m not overseas, looking from afar.
