None of us could have foreseen the damage the snowflake has done to America in just 6 months. I had an idea that this would be his "Revenge" term. He has no respect for America, its people or its ideals. And all of the GOP is afraid of what he can do to them if they don't follow his lead. When people abdicate responsibility for their own lives and others, they become worthless to all.
My congress critter claimed he was fighting for his constituents, yet he hasn't delivered anything of value for the people in his district. The Social Security office is closed, and the SALT (State and Local Taxes) deduction of $40k will expire in 5 years, not made permanent like the big business tax giveaways. He could have voted NO on the Big Ugly Bill, but he caved - as did virtually all of the GOP members in the House and Senate. Unless things change, I will never vote for a GOP candidate again.
In my opinion, the worst thing that he has done has been to destroy the integrity of the data being collected by the US government. For example, firing the majority of NOAA employees set back weather data collection and analysis by years. We can no longer be assured where storms will his, the direction they will likely travel, and the severity of the storms. Recently, 32 Texas girls at a camp died because they didn't have appropriate information in regard to a coming storm. Employment data gathered by the Labor Department has been debased, making it look like we have had a net increase in employment when the opposite is happening.
The sad thing about this mess is that the right wing propaganda keeps stirring up fear in people, and making them feel like this corrupt leader is the only person who can save them. My brother believes that the snowflake's demands to shut the border has resulted in reduced illegal immigration, when this number was going down before the snowflake took office. Additionally, he feels that the border with Canada should be closed as tight as many people want the border with Mexico sealed. Not even 0.1% of the illegal drugs are coming in from Canada as from Mexico, yet he wants to make the same effort to seal that border just as tight There are no priorities in people who believe that the snowflake is doing his job.
Strangely enough, the Big Ugly Bill that the snowflake just signed may have given the Democratic Party an edge in the 2026 elections - only if they can convince the public that decisions made in 2025 will hurt them in 2027. The ACA is being defunded, Medicaid is being defunded, and people are wondering what is next?
I feel that if we can see a strong blue wave in the 2026 elections, we can stop the madness halfway through the snowflake's term. Hopefully, this will happen - if we can make it to Election Day next year.
