America Needs Saving

Weird how no other president, liberal, independent, Republican, or Democrat, has taken actions like this against Americans. Strange, is it not? Yet the moment Trump is in office, and the moment peaceful protests rise to oppose what many describe as illegal deportations, harassment, and assaults targeting American and Indigenous people, everything erupts into chaos.

During the Obama administration, there were plenty of protests, and as far as I remember, not a single protester was killed. Obama let MAGA folks show their ignorance and express themselves freely, even when some of them made effigies and hung them from trees. Tell me again how that was not racist.

And explain to me how expediting citizenship for white South Africans is not racial favoritism, while simultaneously pushing out legitimate American citizens who are Black and Brown. Come on.

Furthermore, tell me again how this is not fascism, when someone like Alex, a legal observer doing nothing but documenting events and helping a woman back to her feet, is deliberately targeted for it.

Think about it, MAGA. If the Trump administration can lie about how this happened, about how Renee’s death played out, and can completely erase the LA incident from the narrative, then what else do you think he is willing to lie about? If they can distort the truth about human lives, if they can rewrite events that were witnessed, filmed, and documented, then imagine what they can get away with when no one is watching.

If an administration is willing to lie about people being harmed, even people being shot in cold blood, even legal observers like Alex being targeted simply for documenting and helping someone to their feet, then what makes you think the rest of the story they are selling you is honest? What makes you think the policies, the raids, the threats, the emergencies, or the enemies he invents are being presented in good faith?

When a government shows you it is willing to lie about human lives, it is already telling you exactly how far it is willing to go.
