President Donald Trump’s effort to do as much as possible as quickly as possible to remake the federal government would gut agencies that have existed for decades or longer. His larger plans would remake elements of the government infrastructure that have been around for centuries.
As an African American, those 250 years of building was never for us, so while I’m happy that our unjust systems are crumbling under their own weight of stupidity. I wish it was being properly dismantled brick by brick from the left opposed to knocked over by what appears to be two elderly men with clearly anti social sociopathic and toxic masculinity, driving a triangle shaped truck that struggled to drive up a curb. The wall has just fallen on top of the poor, POC, and LGBTQ+ community. And the capitalist are going to just see the heep of bodies and bricks as a new road to drive over.
Similar sentiments here. I’m a trans and PoC immigrant, this country was never for me. I’m glad it’s collapsing, I just feel sad for the good people who have to live through it.
There’s also a more optimistic view: while I appreciate running through life in hard mode, I’d still claim a lot of progress. The situation may suck, but it used to suck more.
In every dystopian society collapse sci fi, there is more oppression, more bullying and violence against “others”. Be careful what you wish for: things may suck but they can always suck more. I don’t think an apocalypse will give you a break
