There's something that's so sad, yet so unsurprising about Trump's response to the '#NoKings' protest... To him and his cronies, he is more than King 👑, to himself especially, he is the centre of the universe and the 'most powerful man in the world '.. But after all he's represented and done, even considering #Project2025 , isn't this a tragedy where the people have only themselves to blame?
#Populism or not, the Trump effect is a symptom of a larger problem, a dissonance of the populace.. a clouding of the collective judgment of what's right and wrong.. A sort of extreme example of political division that descends into vitriol and hate, the kind that'd make movies like #CivilWar seem likely to happen irl..
Since #Trump was duly elected, and by none else but American citizens, maybe then the issues at hand are self-inflicted?? It's not like #racism and #immigration are new topics that Trump hasn't talked about or acted on before.. He's been president before and he's been opposed to hosting immigrants before, even building his infamous wall 🧱..
Therefore, if we elected Trump knowing all this.. essentially giving him the tools of power to effect his (and by extension, our) beliefs, maybe then it's we that are doing this ourselves,, raiding people's homes and workplaces and 'deporting them to camps'.. maybe it's us doing this through Trump.. maybe we are, subconsciously, throwing out those we feel do not belong??.. and blaming Trump because it's the easier thing to do rather than blaming ourselves... 🤷🤷
Maybe #NoKingsProtest is a realization that we messed up big time, and would much rather have chosen better; as we think we shall next time? Question is, though, if we didn't learn on Trump's first presidency 🥇, shall we ever??

U.S. President Joe Biden Pulls Out of November Elections and Endorses Kamala Harris
"Kamala is a fantastic candidate for the Democrats and unlike Biden, she has all the odds going for her. Kamala will make a good opponent to Trump and it looks like America will have its first female President very soon.
On the other hand, Donald Trump has just been thrown his biggest curveball this election cycle. Even as Biden's withdrawal from the race may seem like a win for him, Kamala is a much more dangerous candidate to his presidential aspirations. She is an astute, heated critic of his policies who has a background in law, as she was previously a prosecutor."
