Trump is just the trigger.
There are deep historical forces:
The dismantling of the FCC fairness doctrine by Reagan, the resulting emergence of Fox News, conservative talk radio, and other propaganda outlets, the removal of guardrails for the influence of money in politics (e.g. Citizen United), the continuous reduction of taxes on high incomes, the ever-increasing wealth and income inequalities enabled by the above, the stagnation of working class income despite continued increase in productivity (and corporate profits), the total lack of social protection and benefits compared to other developed countries.
People in the middle class and below have been screwed for 40 years and are angry.
They should be angry at Republicans.
But the Republican party has managed to deflect their anger towards immigrants, non-Christians, non-whites, liberals, LGBT, China, academia, intellectual "elites", scientists, journalists, and non-existent scarecrows like Antifa.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again.

These two gotta go.

Praying in the House while preparing to vote for the Big Ugly Bill, one that cuts benefits for seniors, children, the sick, and struggling families. Hypocrisy at its finest.

I will be voting HELL NO!

Fulbright has started censoring academic projects. In Brazil, an invitation to me as Fulbright Specialist from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) has been pulled. They are "reviewing programs in accordance with the America First agenda." Story: https://t.co/r5vh5CgaSi
