The Chilling Reality of Power and Force in America
The United States, under the Trump administration, has taken a sharp turn towards a policy driven by strength and force. This shift is evident both domestically and internationally.
International Aggression
Abroad, the U.S. has been aggressive, intervening militarily in countries like:
- Venezuela
- Nigeria
- Somalia
- Iran
- Yemen
- Syria
- Iraq
The administration has also threatened nations like:
- Canada
- Mexico
- Colombia
- Cuba
- Denmark (over the sale of Greenland)
Domestic Force
At home, the use of force is just as pronounced. American cities have seen an increased military presence, with soldiers and ICE agents patrolling streets.
ICE Agents: A Symbol of the Era
- Heavily armed
- Masked
- Operating in unmarked vehicles
Their tactics have led to:
- Numerous deaths
- Wrongful arrests
Extortion and Power Plays
The administration's approach extends beyond military and ICE actions. It has used its power to:
- Extort billions from businesses
- Extort billions from foreign governments
This has led to a situation where those who do not comply are effectively frozen out, as seen with certain Republican lawmakers who opposed the administration.
Law and Morality
The focus on force and power raises serious questions about the administration's stance on law and morality. By:
- Praising violent actions, such as the January 6 Capitol insurrection
- Labeling peaceful protesters as insurrectionists
The administration seems to have abandoned these principles. This raises concerns about how the U.S. would respond to similar actions by other countries.
Ignoring Critical Issues
Meanwhile, critical issues like:
- Education
- Healthcare
- Housing affordability
- Economic struggles
go unaddressed. The administration's focus on power struggles distracts from these pressing problems, leaving many Americans feeling overlooked and unheard.
