Trump and his gang are deconstructing America. This is their purposeful goal and an obvious one, if you look past the daily barrage of absurdity, indecency, corruption, wrongdoing, and abuses of power.
It is the story that must be conveyed to the citizenry.

The truth about Trump's economy:
-Inflation is still high, and beef and coffee prices are surging thanks to his tariffs
-Wage growth has slowed since he took office
-Unemployment is at a 4-year high
He's running the economy like he ran his businesses — straight into the ground.

The dumbest thing we are being asked to believe today is that pro-Palestinian protests caused the Bondi shooting.
It's self-evidently moronic. No one sincerely believes it. Some are just pretending to believe it in order to promote the interests of a genocidal apartheid state.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Despite Trump's best attempts at exposing fissures within the Venezuelan government, a recent survey found that 65% of Venezuelans rated Maduro’s management of the country positively, and reject violence as a tactic to obtain political change.
Experts Say Even Average Venezuelans Critical of Maduro Won’t Back Regime Change

While millions have rallied and continually demanded strong opposition to fascistic policies, congressional Democrats have lagged far behind. Nowhere has the gap been more evident than in the Senate, where Chuck Schumer remains the minority leader despite his obvious failures to meet the moment.
