@jmcrookston I read the entire thread.
The sheer scale of atrocities and blatant disregard for human decency in the Trump administration is shocking. His actions are so extreme that they would have ended any normal politician's career. I can’t even remember them all. 😢
The list of abuses is staggering: firing generals, banning hunger surveys, cozying up to dictators, and turning the presidency into a grift. The corruption, authoritarianism, and cruelty are numerous and numbing.
What's most disturbing is how predictable it all was. We saw the warning signs, but the institutions that were supposed to stop him failed at every turn. This slow-motion collapse of democratic norms raises questions about the resilience of American institutions and how fragile they really are.
The system's failure to stop Trump despite the warning signs is a stark reminder of the need for institutional reform. Can we strengthen democratic institutions to prevent similar failures?
