They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.

Andrew Tate and His Brother Are Said to Leave Romania for the U.S.

Andrew and Tristan Tate, the online influencers, are facing investigations in Romania and Britain, including accusations of human trafficking and sex crimes.

The reason: a diseased population is easier to control. The goal is to destroy America for the benefit of the autocracies these people are allied with.

So, ridicule Americans who want to flee abroad all you want. But remember, there’s a reason why Germany produced the most Nobel laureates before World War II, but the U.S. took the lead afterward.

Americans Are Heading for the Exits

Go ahead and roll your eyes at those who want out of Trump's second term, but it's emigration, not immigration, that should concern us most.

What the US is experiencing right now is fascism. There's no other word for it and pretending that it's verboten to say so diminishes the truth as much as they are diminishing the truth. It's fascism. It's arrived.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Here's something the Dems could do: Launch a national ad campaign against Trump's illegal actions and how they benefit the uber-rich, then put the tagline: They lied when they said they were for you.

Not just foreign aid: ALL federal aid. And clearly from the language used this garbage isn't coming from Trump. This smells like Stephen Miller and Heritage/Project 2025. And it's going to whollup Trump voters, who mainly live in impoverished red, taker states, hard. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

Trump administration orders sweeping freeze of federal aid

In a two-page memo, the Office of Management and Budget ordered all federal agencies to temporarily suspend payments.

No, you cannot end birthright citizenship by executive order.

No, you cannot end birthright citizenship by legislation.

IT'S IN THE CONSTITUTION. So you need a constitutional amendment.

Maybe try reading a book on how the US government works.
