but this administration is now trying things to change that, including a rebalancing of where they receive their income, which is long term away from an income tax.
So in a nutshell, primarily Immigration, change in the size and fiscal matters of the government, and trade and security.

So I support the deportation efforts. I know the methods can be debated, but when one side is fighting tooth and nail against anything the other side is trying to do, the other side will change tactics to accomplish the tasks. In this case they are more proactive in going out to find illegals

overstaying her green card and it took two years to get her back, but we knew what she did and it is what it is. She did things the right way and came back. I welcome anyone that goes through the proper processes. I know first hand the process is difficult, but it also cannot be easy.

and they have three more years to show progress. Next is illegal immigration. Many of my colleagues and I agree that we should not allow people to just come in, like we do not just let someone come into our own home simply because they want a place to stay. My mom was deported once for

that the countries finances are whacked out. Similar to taking stock of our personal finances and making adjustments and cut backs to avoid issues, the government has to scale things back and cut a lot of spending, especially if there is no direct benefit to America. The jury is out on that still

from Europe, I have lived in countries like Turkey and Kyrgyzstan, I grew up poor, and I worked in a hospital for over twenty years. So using my real world experience that has shaped what I support.

I do not mind. I believe we all need to have civil discourse, which has been eroded by the extremes of both sides. We have to be willing to talk, accept trying ideas out and if they do not work, try another idea, etc.
In relation to my own views I am prefacing by saying that my mom is an immigrant

Supposedly income has increased 4% and stayed ahead of this inflation, but that is little solace since it does not catch up to the large increase under Biden's term. Not saying Biden was specifically at fault, most was Covid related, but some due to policy.

I understand. Grocery is high for the whole country. From 2020 to 2024 food CPI rose 23.6%, a very large increase for a four-year span. The majority of prices increased during that time span, but has slowed down from roughly 9% yearly to 2.2%. The prices cannot be attributed to this administration.

There is no comparison of the country now to any other historical fascist regime or authoritarian regime.

I am sorry, but I do not see a threat of that happening. Not even close. My brother is a history and politics teacher and we discussed this extensively. I have also lived in Turkey and Kyrgyzstan as a teen.

There is no one-party state, no abolition of elections, no state ideology requiring total submission.
The government structure under Trump did not exert total control over economy, media, or military in the way historical fascist regimes did.
So good luck with that.

The administration does not come close to the structural, systematic, or other features that define historical fascist regimes. The U.S. still has an independent judiciary, opposition parties, free media, and actual institutional resistance.
