To all my US friends and family:
Really? Are you aware of what is at stake here? Do you think your silence will spare you or your loved ones from what is about to happen if you do not intervene with all your beautiful democratic spirits which I had the chance of getting to know, respect and love? What is happening in my favorite country? Just tell me the article below is fear-teasing and things are not as depicted.
The article’s bottom line:
Six weeks into Donald Trump’s second presidential term, a climate of fear and self-censorship has emerged among his critics in Washington and beyond. Many individuals, including government officials, journalists, and political commentators, are reportedly refraining from openly criticizing Trump due to concerns about potential retribution. This atmosphere is described as a „chill“ over political debate, with people choosing silence over expressing dissenting opinions. The fear of retaliation or consequences for speaking out appears to be stifling open discourse and creating a more subdued political environment.
