The Tragic Shift Just One Year Has Brought in the United States
In late October 2024, the environment was completely different. Ahead of the national election, considerate citizens could admit the country's serious imperfections – its inequities and inequality – however they continued to perceive it as America. A democratic nation. A place where constitutional order carried weight. A country led by a honorable and upright official, notwithstanding his older age and increasing frailty.
Nowadays, this autumn, numerous citizens scarcely know the nation we reside in. Persons believed to be unauthorized foreigners are detained and pushed into vehicles, at times denied due process. The eastern section of the presidential residence – is undergoing demolition for a grotesque event space. The president is harassing his adversaries or alleged foes and demanding the justice department transfer a massive sum of public funds. Uniformed troops are deployed across metropolitan centers on false pretexts. The Pentagon, rebranded the Defense Ministry, has practically liberated itself of day-to-day journalistic scrutiny as it spends possibly reaching nearly $1tn in public funds. Institutions, law firms, media outlets are yielding under the president’s threats, and wealthy elites are handled as members of the royal family.
“The United States, only a few months ahead of its 250th birthday as the globe's top democratic nation, has tipped over the brink into autocracy and totalitarianism,” Garrett Graff, stated recently. “Ultimately, faster than I thought feasible, it occurred here.”
Every morning starts with fresh terrors. And it's hard to comprehend – and distressing to accept – just how far gone our nation is, and the rapid pace with which it occurred.
However, we know that the leader was duly elected. Following his deeply disturbing first term and even after the cautions associated with the understanding of the rightwing blueprint – despite the president personally said publicly he would rule as a tyrant solely at the start – enough Americans selected him over his Democratic opponent.
While alarming as the current reality may be, it's more daunting to realize that we are just three-quarters of a year into this presidential term. What will three more years of this decline find us? And if that period turns into a more extended duration, because there is no one to stop this leader from opting that a third term is required, maybe for security concerns?
Admittedly, not everything is hopeless. We will have congressional elections next year that may bring a different political equilibrium, if Democrats retake either chamber of parliament. There exist elected officials who are attempting to exert some accountability, like Democratic congressmen that are launching an investigation into the attempted money grab from the justice department.
And a presidential election in 2028 could start the path to healing precisely as the prior selection set us on this unfortunate course.
There exist numerous residents marching in public spaces across municipalities, similar to recent in the past days during anti-authority protests.
A former official, stated lately that “the dormant powerhouse of the nation is awakening”, just as it did following the Red Scare during the fifties or amid the sixties activism or throughout the Watergate scandal.
In those instances, the unstable nation finally returned to balance.
He claims he understands the signals of that revival and notices it unfolding currently. As evidence, he cites the recent massive protests, the broad, bipartisan pushback to a broadcaster's firing and the largely united defiance by media to accept military mandates they report only authorized information.
“The slumbering entity perpetually exists inactive before certain corruption turns extremely harmful, some action so offensive toward public welfare, some brutality so disruptive, that it is compelled but to awaken.”
It's a positive outlook, and I respect the author's seasoned opinion. Perhaps he will prove to be right.
In the meantime, the crucial issues endure: will the nation return to normalcy? Is it possible to restore its standing globally and its adherence to constitutional order?
Or should we recognize that the national endeavor functioned for a period, and then – abruptly, completely – collapsed?
My pessimistic brain suggests that the final scenario is true; that everything might be gone. My optimistic spirit, though, tells me that we have to attempt, by any means available.
For me, as an observer of the press, that involves pushing media professionals to adhere, more thoroughly, to their purpose of scrutinizing authority. For some people, it might involve engaging with congressional campaigns, or coordinating protests, or finding ways to protect ballot privileges.
Less than a year ago, we existed in an alternate reality. A year from now? Or after another term? The fact is, we don’t know. Our sole course is to attempt to persevere.
