The numbers are in, and the diagnosis is terminal. A nation of frogs hasn’t just failed to notice the water boiling—it’s given the chef a steady 40% approval rating.
President Donald Trump’s Republican death cult has amputated a trillion dollars from Medicaid, a move of such staggering cruelty it would make a Bond villain blush, leaving nearly 17 million Americans without healthcare—all to fund more tax cuts for the yacht-and-private-jet class.
And the public response? A collective shrug, punctuated by the boot-steps of federal troops occupying Los Angeles and Washington, DC , cities deemed politically unruly that are not coincidentally led by mayors who are Black women.
National Guardsmen from Alabama and 18 other GOP states are mobilizing to assist the Department of Homeland Security with Trump’s nationwide anti-freedom operation.
In 2022, Birmingham, Alabama, had a violent crime rate of approximately 1,917 per 100,000 residents—nearly double the 999.8 rate of D.C. and among the highest in the nation.
Trump indicated that Chicago and New York could be next targets for military operations aimed at suppressing political opposition while tyranny takes hold in the United States.
Documents show planning to mobilize to assist Trump include Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming.
Half of those were members of the Confederate States of America, while a few were still territories during the Civil War, but they have all now politically seceded from the Union governed by the Constitution of the United States.
Trump has characterized these ongoing incursions as crackdowns on crime and immigration, but his targets are clearly jurisdictions where voters prefer Democrats over Republicans.
Contrary to the fascists’ claims, crime has fallen precipitously over the past several decades, a drop triggered about the same time as unwanted children would have reached maturity if the Supreme Court had not made safe and legal abortion widely available.
More than 16,600 people could die as a result of losing access to or forgoing care, according to an analysis of Trump’s Medicaid cuts published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
If the calculated murder of tens of thousands to enrich the ultra-wealthy, coupled with the transformation into a police state, doesn’t break the spell, then the fever dream is permanent.
The patient is already dead. The only question left is: what kind of country will bury the body?
The American experiment is dying with a murmur. The latest Gallup data isn’t a snapshot—it’s a pollster’s autopsy. The rotting corpse is so polarized that its right hand would rather strangle the left than feel its pulse.
After engineering the largest Medicaid cuts since the program’s inception—a trillion-dollar disembowelment of care for the poor, sick, and elderly to fund billionaire tax breaks—and deploying armed troops in American cities, the Trump administration’s approval rating remains unchanged at 40%.
This isn’t politics; it’s pathology. A third of the country has been inoculated against reality, cheering their own subjugation so long as others suffer more.
The cruelty is the point—but the inertia is the story. The Medicaid cuts didn’t happen in a vacuum. They’re the foundation of a larger strategy: dismantle the social safety net and convert it into capital for the donor class.
The fascist dictatorship is intent on eliminating any safe space for transgender or gender nonconforming youth, defining educational diversity programs as illegal because they are “irrelevant to teaching abstinence and contraception,” as Trump attempts to indoctrinate children with delusional ideology.
Billionaires have enlisted the support of puritanical religious extremists whose loyalty is purchased with the promise of imposing scientific denialism regarding issues such as global warming, school prayer, and gay rights.
Trump Republicans, acknowledged in global media as American fascists, are undertaking a wealth transfer of historic barbarism, masked in the dry language of budget reconciliation, yet resulting in real deaths.
Meanwhile, the economic confidence index ticks from -26 to -20—a statistic that screams in silence.
The spectacle of federal troops turning their rifles on citizens was met not with mass outrage, but with record partisan divide: 76% of Republicans see soldiers in their streets as a sign of order; fewer than 1% of Democrats agree. This in not a case of conservative bias, with groups seeing different perspectives—Americans are seeing different countries.
This is the great unraveling, captured in the neutral language of polling data. A 92-point approval gap. Just 1% of Democrats support the administration, a total negation of the other side’s humanity—mirrored by the 2% of Republicans who once backed Biden.
We’ve reached peak polarization, a state so dense that no shared truth can escape its gravity.
We are ruled by a conservative coalition that knows there is no bottom. They can take away your medicine, send soldiers to your mayor’s door, and still watch their base hold firm.
When a population is so alienated from its own interests that it embraces its own decline, the crisis transcends politics. It is spiritual. And no poll can measure how deep that sickness goes.
