The US, a nation built on the principles of freedom and democracy, has devolved into a surreal landscape where the lines between reality and fantasy have become hopelessly entangled. On one hand, you have the masked thugs – federal agents with guns drawn who shoot civilians who pose no threat to anyone – only to be hailed as heroes by the regime's loyal foot soldiers. This is the America that Trump's fanbase would like us to believe in.
On the other hand, you have the sneering elites – politicians like Trump and his cronies, who think they are above the law and can get away with anything. They attend lavish premieres of propaganda films about Melania's "documentary" – a project that has been bought by Amazon for $40 million, making it one of the most expensive documentaries ever made. The guests at these events include oligarchs like Tim Cook, who post on social media about Martin Luther King's commitment to justice, only to celebrate the same day as the premiere of a film that trivializes King's legacy.
This is an America where death threats are seen as a sign of intellectual fervor, and where the National Rifle Association (NRA) is more right-wing than Trump's base on gun control. It's an America where the language of patriotism has been twisted to justify violence against civilians who pose no threat, and where those who dare to speak out against such brutality are called "bootlickers."
The US government's actions have left many international observers scratching their heads in confusion. What would they call this – a "shithole country"? The term is often used by Trump himself, but it's hard to see how that label can be applied to the America of 2023.
The events of last Saturday are still unfolding, but one thing is clear: the United States has become a nation where the rule of law no longer applies, and where those in power will stop at nothing to silence dissent. As the world watches this spectacle with growing unease, it's hard not to wonder what happened to the America that we once knew – an America built on principles of justice, equality, and freedom for all.
The only way forward is for the US to confront its own dark past and the violent rhetoric that has fueled it. It requires a collective reckoning with the consequences of Trump's presidency and the harm that it has inflicted on the country and the world. As we look to the future, one thing is certain: America needs a way out of this looking glass – and fast.
