That all made sense, except for two key words: “literary multiformity.” I’ll check with Mx. Google, but if you’ve got a simple explanation, I’d appreciate it.
There have been a dozen Presidents of the USA since I was born. That list includes Nixon (who was a crook), Reagan (who started the dismantling of the American social safety net), and Presidents who couldn’t keep their pants zipped. Trump is an entirely different kind of horror.

“We are not living in a functional democracy any longer. It’s not too late to save it, but it is just important to acknowledge that we aren’t on the precipice of losing our democracy. We are losing it every single day. ->

“That’s the story with the killings in the Caribbean, as well. The president just doesn’t believe that any law applies to him, that he can destroy federal property, that he can steal from American citizens, that he can kill with impunity, that he can throw anyone in jail.

<- without any consent of Congress. It was absolutely illegal…. [T]hat visual is powerful because you are essentially watching the destruction of the rule of law happen as those walls come down. It is just a symbol about how cavalier he is, about every single day acting in new and illegal ways.

Here’s a quote, important for us in the USA today, from Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT), speaking on “All In with Chris Hayes.”

“[T]here’s a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing [of the White House], and it was just destroyed without any conversation in the American public, ->

I should not take my nightly blood pressure reading right after watching a video of ICE agents assaulting and battering residents of the USA.

Notice how it’s always, “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to the +2,000 verses in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.
control of a single dictator, allowing no political opposition, forcibly suppressing dissent, and rigidly controlling most industrial and economic activities. Such regimes usually try to achieve popularity by a strongly nationalistic appeal, often mixed with racism.

Of course, none of us should be surprised. Though he denied knowing anything about “Project 2025” back in 2024, Trump posted on Truth Social that he’s working to advance the “Project 2025” agenda. bsky.app/profile/whit...

“I have no idea what Project 2025 is.”
- Trump, October 31, 2024
Trump: "I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut ... I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity."
Dr. Heather Cox Richardson goes into much greater detail about what’s going on here, and the more details you read, the clearer it becomes that the Trump administration is a clear and present danger to our Democratic Republic. They must be stopped.

And it did. People were locked up in Abu Ghraib prison and were tortured and dehumanized. People were locked up in The Guantanamo Bay detention camp and tortured and denied both due process and Geneva Conventions protections.

Creating this third category of semi-soldiers who don’t have the rights of soldiers nor the rights of civilians would lead to all kinds of injustice.

I knew it was a problem when President George W. Bush created the category of “unlawful combatants” out of thin air. Before that, people in wars were either combatants (who had certain rights under the Geneva Conventions) or civilians (who had other rights under the Geneva Conventions).

yes, absolutely, as I say in the final paragraph.
Trump’s demolition of the White House East Wing reveals (a) what a lying liar he is (as if we needed to know that); and (b) that he is, once again, ignoring the law. Read the details below. Read this thread for details.
