Didn't know things were that bad.
It's going downhill fast. The latest is Trump going through with installing a puppet in the supreme court, and the whole of congress ignoring sexual assault accusations against the candidate. They supposedly conducted an "investigation" but the FBI was unable to even talk to people due to congress' orders on the investigation, so it was just for show. The whole thing has been a farce. This candidate, amongst other things, has said he wants to reverse important rulings like Roe vs Wade (abortion rights), and this also will give the republican party complete control over the Supreme Court.
They've also killed net neutrality, and now they're attempting to push through a bill that would turn the library of congress' copyright person into someone installed by the president rather than voted upon. I can hope that one dies, but it's already past the house.
The election in some states was provably manipulated by hacking, and people at the Black Hat conference showed how easy it was to tamper with voting machines (and I mean ACTUAL ones.) It's likely the primaries will be manipulated as well, since the relevant states have made no efforts to improve security or even investigate.
Meanwhile, the trade war with China has caused problems for businesses.
There's also the issues with ICE detaining children that were denied immigration, separating them from parents, and putting them in facilities that vaguely resemble concentration camps, and there's been more than a few instances of the ones who returned to their home country being assesed as having been sexually assaulted and traumatized.
The TV news is all pretty much propoganda at this point, or at best carefully omitting details, and this is thanks to laws preventing propoganda being repealed before Trump's presidency.
Then there's all the people who are being denied the ability to vote on absurd basis, and that the federal government has started to require absurd rigour to get a passport (like an original copy of a birth certificate or some shit, not a notarized copy from the town.)
I could go on. There's all sorts of other minor shit going on too, and the worst part is that
nobody, not even the democrats seem willing to stop it. I suspect they're just as corrupt.
tl;dr It's getting bad, and it can only get worse.
Oh, and people ARE protesting. They just aren't covering it at all.
