As an American, our current situation is utter insanity.
Tariffs and deportation has already been discussed a little here. Our entire treasury is currently in the hands of an unelected billionaire, who also happens to be downloading files containing all personal data on federal employees, and is directly involved in killing USAID. Our first free and public tax-filing service that debuted last year to 75% approval among Americas has suddenly and permanently been deleted - as tax season is ramping up. Our president is allegedly preparing to do away with our DoE, has ordered the CDC to purge any data that could be "DEI," including surveillance statistics on diseases like HIV, Tuberculosis, and STDs, and halting the release of studies into the bird flu.
I don't blame people overseas for not being able to follow this shit. Every day is a torrent of information. I know a lot of public school teachers who love their kids, and many of those kids are in low-income areas where federal money offers them their only education. Of course that education should be better and our school system needs reform, but taking away all federal support is not the way to do it. Talks of cancelling all federal grants in general makes me nervous as I am only able to go to college because of those grants. Maybe some people don't think all this is that bad, but everything I see gives me the impression that our nation's wealth is about to be emptied into the pockets of billionaires.
