The GOP and Trump have everyone focused on the deportation issue while they shred the US Constitution in all other areas

The media is falling for it hook line and sinker. While most of look away, the financial underpinnings of the US economy, equality under the law, the Federal government's ability to raise revenue to run this country at the standard of living of pre-COVID levels is signed away with the stroke of Trump's pen, and our health and food safety regulations are wiped away, and our environmental protection efforts are being trashed.

The MAGAs are enjoying seeing their on country and their sacred "privileged status" eroded as well.
Unless the dear leader strokes out on a golf course, misery is our name for the next 12 year because it will take at least that long for the Democrats to put things in order again.

but with the damage that was done during his last reign of terror and what's being planned during this sequel, your 12 year projection to somehow resurrect our republic seems extremely optimistic. It'll take generations to recover from this nightmare, if they ever do. I'm seriously afraid the damage will be permanent.

Model, we’ll show you actionable steps to resist manipulation, think critically, and stay in control of your perspective.
