This is our first convicted criminal who was allowed to continue to run for the highest office in the land.
This was the candidate who encouraged his followers to attack a government building because he lost his last bid for reelection.
Then when he did get back into office—even though they had broken the law and attacked the government, Trump pardoned them.
He changed immigration laws to strip immigrants of due process and civil rights. Previously, even the undocumented seeking refuge here were covered by Constitutional law.
And the agents Trump has tasked with going after them now are allowed to target them by appearance, which means overt racial profiling, despite the fact that there are undocumented immigrants from all over the world.
There have already been instances where Trump has declared himself above the law, above the checks and balances of our other branches of government. If you haven’t noticed this, you truly haven’t been paying attention.
This has not been "business as usual".

No, that's really not true. tRump hasn't been a politician for 30 years, and during his first term he was kept within the law by his various chiefs of staff, attorneys general, and other cabinet appointees.
What we have now, in tRump unbound, is unprecedented.
When, before, did we have a private federal police force who doesn't wear ID, who drags citizens out in the middle of the night and arrests them?
When, before, did we have said people moved over state lines too fast for the due process of law to respond?
When, before, did we have tariffs switched on & off like a bored TV watcher flipping channels?
When, before, did we have a president giving direct orders to the DOJ? And doing it over social media no less?
When, before, did we have a president demanding to be reimbursed $230 million for legal fees paid for by his political action committees? Without even showing the receipts??
I could go on; this is just a few items off the top of my head.
we’ve had the same politicians for 30+ years

"We can't delay any longer, it's killing our reputation and credibility," Trump wrote in the message. "They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!"

And those politicians followed the law or Congress or Judged put them in their place if they didn't...
Currently the Republicans have been Cucked by Donald and can't do anything without his approval, and the judges want to keep getting promoted, so they're doing exactly what Donald wants...
And Donald is talking about winning a 3rd term and violating the US Constitution left and right and nothing seems to be able to stop him...
And you think King is ridiculous, when Donald is playing into it, that he is the king and he's trying to promote people with less than a full year of legal experience to be the head legal person in the entire USA, with their main qualifications being that they're a loyal follower and even the US Senators who are mostly just bowing down to the King even won't back that one...
And the King has already said he'll be donating millions or billions of the federal government property to his private library before he leaves
And he's trying to force the US justice system to pay him 230+ million in legal fees and trying to get it to be rubbered stamped.
Seriously, if Obama did even a quarter of the things Trump's have, we would of had a civil war on our hands ...
They freaked out on Obama because he (like other Presidents) wore a tan suit...
But Trump is actively ignoring the US Constitution is Republicans are completely ignoring it and acting like something is wrong with the Democrats...
It's an extremely sad time, as the Democrats are actually the party of the US Constitution and Law and Order, never thought I'd see that in my lifetime.

You need to look at Project 2025, incl. who is behind it, and look at what their motivations are.
Why are they so afraid of education, facts, and fact-checking?
Why is lying and denying the central part of the fringe Right?
Why do they always want you to be afraid?
Why do they want political violence to be normal here?
Why do they want no laws & no restrictions?
