It seemed incredibly improbable given the development level of the United States of America. Yet, as Albert Einstein pointed out "Two things are infinite: The universe and human stupidity". If you ever wanted to go to your local firearm store and buy a semi-automatic rifle to kill your neighbour, this is your opportunity. Otherwise, you should leave the US as soon as possible.
Because Republicans in Congress have made what it seemed almost impossible a year ago: To end the Rule of Law in America and tackle the human rights of their population. The USA is now giving a daily spectacle of authorized armed-masked-men violating human rights of Their own citizens! It is not important anymore whether children are left alone in the street while their parents get abducted; or the fact missing people are skyrocketing: The point is "To Make America Great Again".
As Pete Buttigieg has pointed out: "Our nation has been at its worst when we've been discriminating". This is specially true in the present times. The trauma for children to feel at risk, for mothers to refuse to give birth in hospitals, for farmworkers to go out in public, it's all on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). They are traumatizing society and a whole full generation with the threat of violence, with videos and images all around public spaces and the internet. The sole image of armed masked men in the streets looks like a modern remake of western bandits in a no-law land.
But this is 2025 America, everyone. The land of the free and the home of the brave. Giving the worst possible spectacle since the slavery era. Causing an everyday harm to their own citizens that will take more than a generation to erase, even if it came to a full stop tomorrow. The Rule of Law needs to be restored. Armed masked men need to be out of the streets. Human rights need to be respected. And ICE needs to be stopped. For the sake of civility.
This madness needs to come to an end. Soon. The 4th of July is over. Long live the Fourth.
