Utter Destruction

I haven’t said much about the current state of American politics, and in this case I mean all of North America because Canada and Mexico ore at least resisting the bullying of the current administration. While the current US government is dominated by conservative, idiotic asshole fascists! They have attacked every major institutions in the government. They are attacking anything that they perceive as a threat or even the most minor opposition to their hateful ideology. They are following the blueprint for totalitarianism and fascism that Mussolini created and put into practice in Italy in 1922, and Hitler expanded in Germany in 1933.

Each day, I think when will it end. When will someone in the government go on the offensive. But the Democrats are sitting back and watching the destruction hoping that it will backfire on the Republicans in the 2026 election. But if the current government is allowed to continue pursuing their agenda, they will either not allow elections or they will fix them in their favor, probably with the help of Putin in Russia.

So, why did I decide to talk about this today when I haven’t said much before? They are attacking the Smithsonian Institution. My university has dealings with the Department of Defense and, as a university, the Department of Education, two departments that have been gutted. That being said, I work with the Smithsonian on a regular basis. The administration is trying to politicize the Smithsonian, an institution that has always remained apolitical. When I bring in curators from the Smithsonian, they are expressly prohibited from broaching politics in even the slightest statements. However, the current administration of clowns and goons wants to turn it into a political pawn in their ideology.

When will somebody say, “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!”? I have a hard time watching the news because it makes me despondent. Every time I turn on the news it’s more disastrous than the day before.

Just as a side note, this post is late because I had a severe migraine last night, which is marginally better this morning, but it still means I’ve been a bit slow moving so far today.

I apologize for such a downer post, but I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend! It’s going to be a weekend of snow and ice for us here in Vermont. Hopefully, the weather is better where you are.
