Why Trump's first moves in office have been so scary. He is launching a full-scale war against modern liberalism.

“President Donald Trump and his aides are launching a full-scale war against modern liberalism. And I’m very worried that they will be successful. Though what exactly defines liberalism is contested, the term generally refers to the protection of individual rights, such as free speech and property ownership. But self-identified liberal politicians and liberal voters in the United States and around the world (particularly in Europe) have embraced a much broader set of values and practices that I’m referring to as modern liberalism.

Those include robust higher-education systems where students and professors have a significant amount of freedom in what they teach and research; attempts to ensure equality across lines of race, gender and sexual orientation; respect for independent authorities that act as a check on elected leaders, such as the news media; enthusiasm for ethnic, racial and religious diversity, as well as immigration, free-trade agreements, and other forms of multilateralism and multiculturalism.
[…]
Now, Trump is taking on modern liberalism even more aggressively, by firing inspectors general, freezing federal funding for scientific research, restricting immigration, trimming transgender rights and making a number of other moves in his first nine days in office that previous Democratic and Republican presidents had avoided. Many of his actions resemble and are borrowed from other anti-liberal politicians, including Hungary’s Viktor Orban and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.”

Trump is pursuing a reckless, irresponsible, and destructive agenda that is illiberal, fascist, and authoritarian – contrary to the norms recognized and respected by both Democratic and Republican presidents.

I think facediaper needs another Covid jab......

Trump's agenda is 100% to restore free speech largely taken away by the 'liberal' (liberal in that context is anything but) Democrats who did everything in their power to suppress, bury, disallow, even criminalize any speech they didn't like.

Restricting/eliminating ILLEGAL immigration as much as is reasonably possible is something he is sworn to do as President of the United States. So is enforcing other laws of the land both constitutional and civil.

The only education he proposes to restrict is that which is literally harming children. Many emergency pauses or temporary restrictions are to give him and his team time to identify where money is being misused or illegally or harmfully directed and restore economic integrity to the government.

A careful analysis of what he and his team so far have done is simply to restore America to its normal state of a free, secure, strong, prosperous country it is intended to be.

Interesting, actually you're correct. But we both know what my intent was and I've never seen Musk claim African American.

Most of the mouthy libs loons don’t know the difference between what has been paid into for decades versus on demand gimmies. . Since responsible people pay into a system, libs pretend it’s same as the gimmies their ilk abuses.
