Firstly, it’s Linda and thank you for leading me here. The first thing I saw was that you have made this essay very hard for ordinary Americans to follow, It is at Academic standards - and full kudos to you and it is also something I have trouble with, so I would lighten up the language to reach a bigger audience - just my opinion.
Where it does interest me, is that you are talking of freedom and perhaps, uprising - and that is what needs to happen. This Trump Administration and the Republican Party will never give up power - they have, in fact, done everything they can, to retain power and have made it public knowledge.
However, the main policy being pushed is about requiring documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration, such as a passport, birth certificate, or similar citizenship document. A federal judge has just permanently blocked major parts of Trump’s executive order, ruling that the president does not have constitutional authority to impose those election rules by executive order; election administration belongs primarily to the states and Congress.
I still have major concerns over the gutting of major institutions, the education now being workforce education versus academic education - I wonder what suburbs or places that will affect?, Medicaid which has already closed many hospitals and Elderly Rest-homes and will continue to trend like this, cutting of childhood vaccinations in schools and the disinformation surrounding vaccinations - there are eventually going to be major breakouts of these diseases, they have already occurred and 3 children have died as a result - this is going to affect the poor, those with major inequalities, the elderly, and the disadvantaged - they will be the first ones to die, the Pro-life versus Pro-baby - this argument is absolutely fucked - they have taken away the “vitamin k” needle every new born baby needs to live - without this needle it can cause major bleeding in the brain and death or major developmental delays - it is not a vaccination, it is something that newborn babies need for survival - once again, who suffers, the poor, the disadvantaged, people with inequalities and those who are uneducated.
There is so much I could say here but I won’t because I realise you already understand what I am talking of. I am not American but have lived in the country for around 3 years. What I do say is “Wake The Fuck Up, Americans, Otherwise You May Not Have a Democracy.”
Very interesting piece. I have spent some time with it. I read it several times in pieces. I do believe that not everyone will be able to follow and understand your thoughts. I took Latin and Shakespearean drama however it has been a long time ago. I also majored in English and still read it slowly so that I would completely understand every sentence and every word. I like this just as it is written. There is an audience that will benefit from a simpler version. Everyone should read this however so that everyone can remember that however great of a nation we are we are still inherently flawed. Thank you for sharing with me.
