The American Carnage that Trump promised is here, and the videos coming out of ICE raids and the ensuing protests offer visual evidence. Horses trampling peaceful protesters underfoot. Masked men with guns pushing their way into homes, shouting that they don’t need warrants. Unmarked cars bashing other cars that they suspect carry immigrants.
This is the kind of week that gets a name in history books. Kristallnacht. Bloody Sunday.
Trump has invaded America.
witnessed the kinds of military parades that Trump has planned this coming Saturday, when he worked in Russia in the 1990s. Between ICE raids, Marines being deployed against Americans, a propagandist parade, and plans for massive NO KINGS protests across the country, you’d be forgiven for forgetting that Republicans also want to gut Medicare & Medicaid, peel away SNAP benefits from poor kids, and take trillions from the poor to give to the rich.This week certainly feels different. Somehow more pressing. Maybe we’re getting our heads around the flood of bad news. Or maybe the videos flooding our social media timelines are just too gruesome to ignore.
