Has America “earned” Trump, ICE, 2025? Have we ignored our addiction to reality TV scenarios that generally result in shaming and pain; social issues regarding our addiction to cheap labor; the ability of a moneyed, select group of white men to dictate the next levels of America, starting with the Kochs and Newt Gingrich?
