Alone each of these actions of Trump seem to not add up to destruction of our Democracy but It’s stepping back and looking at the big picture that’s important that shows Trump’s intent. It’s both the stupid things that Trumps does to the more egregious activities that are destroying the USA’s Democracy. Things like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, to closing programs that benefit US citizens from harm from our government and corporations or ones that investigated him or Musk, to allowing only the news companies that pay him favors in what ever form or flatter him, or only selectively cover his activities that keep the truth from reaching the masses; to wanting to impeach judges for ruling against him, to illegally disregarding that Congress controls the purse, to trying to override our Constitution with eliminating birthright citizenship. These all are not random actions. Sure some people are riled up and cheering for these actions, (Why I will never understand. Maybe I’m too empathetic.) but realize Trump and Musk doing these things are all meant to gain more and more power, more weakening and controlling of each branch of government to make them mute, more movement towards being a Dictator. Who will obey? Who will follow his orders because of fear of retaliation, fear for their job, fear for their life? This is already happening! None of the things Trump and Musk are doing will benefit us. Zero. In fact they are all going to harm us and our Democracy in the short and long run.
