I thought we had checks and balances…something…to keep this bs from happening. I don’t see how anyone in their right mind could support Trump these days, heat I have extended family who love what he’s doing, so long as the money pours in. How can this be happening? If I could leave the country at this point, I would.
Terrifying place we find ourselves. A Central American friend of mine living in the States tells me he feels like prey. No being should have to feel this.
We are all prey. Admittedly there are many more at a much higher risk. Unethical. Demoralizing, And a horrible statement about what our country has become in such an unbelievably short time.
The complicity makes it even scarier to me. That so many are gleeful about the suffering of the deported and dehumanize others. I think a lot of us have become numb. I wonder how much Covid and the survival fears worsened this, made us even more tribal, self-absorbed, only worrying about our families and our small circle and unable to extend compassion to others.
Scary is right! And maybe numbness too. But I can't help thinking everything is made worse by vastly different information bubbles. Do the people who still support what's happening actually understand what's happening? I want to believe they are getting news only from FB posts from fellow believers who make everything look shiny and pretty and just and legal. I want to believe, but of course that might be naive
