So here I go again, thinking out loud about the current events I find myself living through as an American citizen in 2025, and, sadly, so far in this infant year of 2026. Each day, at least for me, has become more treacherous to maneuver. When I awaken, I shudder and shake whenever it is time to look at my phone, wondering if today is the day when all freedoms cease to exist.
Trump, the Putin Asset, is declaring that the Western Hemisphere is his and he will control it as he sees fit. It has almost become Make the Western Hemisphere Great Again. And, by doing so, Trump has proudly permitted Putin to Make Europe Russian Again. I mean id Trump can declare a whole hemisphere as his, surely Putin can easily make a whole continent his.
We now have the American version of the Gestapo, called ICE, and it seems that the Republicans in power have no problem with that being the case. If an ICE agent can, in broad daylight, murder an American Citizen in cold blood, and the only response by those Republicans is she had it coming, then, indeed, they have condoned this American Gestapo.
The Emperor Trump has decided that health care, groceries, and shelter are less important than erecting buildings in his honor. No money for you or me, but tons and tons of money to build THE TRUMP DISTRICT OF DONALD.
And pay close attention to how the blue cities in the blue states are being picked off one by one by Trump, you know the places that, in large majorities, did not vote for him. I believe this is an attempt to keep people in those regions of the country terrified and afraid. So, before Trump declares Martial Law, he is trying his best to intimidate the voters who vote blue. If that does not work, he will declare martial law a few months before the midterms.
It makes my gut feel a little better if I say these fears out loud. It does not erase the fear, but by speaking out loud, I can make room for even more anxiety, anguish and angst.
