I have just had my post “America Chooses A Crook For President” taken down by LinkedIn because it has been categorised as hate speech. Is this just the beginning of a wave of revisionism in the wake of the return of Donald Trump to the presidency? Get ready for the rewriting of American history, as the Trump forces will be removing multiple criminal charges against Trump. The DOJ is already taking steps to do so. The rest of the world looks on gobsmacked by the behaviour of Americans. Is there no decency, no morality left on this landmass home to some 333 million Americans?
Prepare For Revisionism Folks USA Style
Electing a convicted criminal, bankrupt both morally and financially, to the highest office in the land says more about Americans than anything else. Trump is the most divisive figure in American politics over the last decade and he was chosen over the opportunity for a fresh start. Why? Americans have lost touch with reality, with the meaning of the rule of law. It has to be the most cynical decision made in the history of the country. Say farewell to integrity, and hello to more distorted misanthropic BS disguising gross self-interest. Everyone who worked with Trump in his first administration came out and told the world the ugly truth about this guy. Is America in love with craziness and dysfunction?
“Presented with a choice between electing the first black, female president on a promise of a sunnier future, and a racist, misogynist, twice-impeached convicted felon hawking hatred and retribution, they picked Mr Trump. “
Fictions Over Facts In Trump’s America
Do you remember the absurdity of totalitarian communist regimes in the USSR? Maybe not, maybe you are too young, well the American take on reality is heading that way fast. Up is down and down is up. January 6 was a love-in, according to Trump, despite the deaths and violence writ large. Biden was bad for the economy, despite the facts that the economy actually outperformed the world and Trump’s first time in office, but these are just the economic facts. America is not interested in facts it has drunk the kool aid and lives in an alternate fictional realm.
Americans Feel Too Poor For Progressive Ideas Like Equality
The richest nation on earth cannot afford high falutin concepts like justice, fairness, and democratic values, apparently. The American people have voted for short termism economic imperatives by putting the guy who looks after the super-rich back in the White House. No more actual work on repairing massive inequality via anti-trust measures designed to rein in the billionaires. No, the die has been cast for self-interest and who has the loudest voice for self-interest in the nation? Elon Musk and the oligarchs. Project 2025 has a lot of work to do to install endemic corruption in the institutions of the American government. This will be a travesty and the world will be watching on. The wrong headed and corrupt will be back in charge of the world’s once greatest democratic nation. A paranoid Trump hell bent on retribution making a meal of governing all over again. Get ready for the rewriting of American history.
