We are entering Peak Puppet Government. The flashy facelifted puppets go on TV. The suits in the shadows regress our nation back to 1950 by reconfiguring or dismantling Federal oversight agencies. I'm terrified. I'm glad I don't have kids, and I'm glad my mother has private insurance.
But I'm terrified. If they decide to invalidate a few more Constitutional Amendments, will I lose my right to vote, being a woman and person of color? Will I lose my birthright citizenship? P2025 policies suggest I might, if they decide my parents, one being a naturalized immigrant, the other the descendant of enslaved Americans, are invalid citizens. Will I lose my job? Will I lose the right to clean air and clean water?
There is so much uncertainty. It's funny now. But I'm scared of what the US will look like in a decade because of policies coming in 2025.
