That's what this country, what the "great experiment" was all about. Moves like what Trump and his lackey DeJoy are doing flies in the face of these principles. It is the foundation of everything else in our government. I am not going to mince words with this, supporting these moves by the administration is anti-American.

Oh but you still do mince words. What this is is a power grab from someone who believes in authoritarian rule and who finds a horrendous amount of people who have no issue with that idea. This is how the american ideals end, this is how democracy ends. And this is something not even Viktor Orban or Erdogan would dare to pull off.

But as I said, the freaky thing is not just Trump, it is that this move is not universally condemned by everyone. Party over country, party over democracy, party over every american principle. Whoever does not speak out against this now is guilty of aiding that process.
