Within the first week of Donald Trump’s second term in the White House, we have seen him take a wrecking ball to democracy and decency. He is signing multiple Executive Orders, many of which will be challenged in court, in his effort to wreak vengeance on anyone, and anything, he doesn’t like. He has pardoned those who attacked, and tried to kill police officers. He is destroying the Privacy and Civil Liberties Agency, which investigates national security issues that intrude on individual rights, and keeps the Congress and public informed about them. He has effectively ended DEI activities in all federal agencies, and has reversed all the Biden Executive Orders that helped people get affordable healthcare. He has attacked the trans community, and women, and is trying to end birthright citizenship enshrined in the 14th amendment to the Constitution. He ended all civil rights prosecutions in the Justice Department, and cancelled numerous healthcare conferences aimed at fighting cancer, at the NIH. He withdrew the country from the Climate Accords, and moved to withdraw us from the World Health Organization. This is only the beginning.
We shouldn’t be surprised as these are all things he said he would do. I am not sure what made some people stay home and not vote, maybe thinking it was all bluster. But they, and the 49% of the electorate who did vote, and voted for Trump, should all look in the mirror and accept they are responsible. Some may actually like that feeling, others will not. But like it or not, it is where we are now. Maybe some who didn’t read it before the election, should now read Project 2025, to see what will come next. It is all laid out in a blueprint for Trump’s second administration, and is truly frightening. For those who thought some Republican senators may be willing to take a principled stand, with the confirmation of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, we now know 50 Republican senators have their lips firmly attached to Trump’s ass.
