Burke: A distressing accounting of what Trump has wrought
The United States of America? It’s going.
And yes, you should be frightened.
In 94 days Donald Trump, Elon Musk and their lackeys have attacked not just every facet of the working federal government but are aggressively assaulting the fundamental principles of our democratic society.
They are, with malice aforethought, implementing a cultural revolution to recast America in the MAGA-centric vision outlined in the radical Project 2025 plan drafted by would-be tyrants, Christian nationalists and wanna-be dictators to replace the U.S. Constitution.
To me, their actions are a figurative desecration of the graves of the dead at Arlington, on the interred behind the beaches of Normandy, on the shallow holes dug in the icy earth of Korea’s frozen Chosin, across the rows of crosses at Gettysburg, on the snow-covered huts of the poor, ragged remnants of Washington’s army lying cold and starving at Valley Forge, on the dead Marines who fought house-to-house in Fallujah, and on those still manning the rusting hulks beneath Iron Bottom Sound off Guadalcanal, on the Arizona at the bottom of Pearl Harbor’s Battleship Row, and on the tankers and freighters sunk into the black depths of the Atlantic by Hitler’s u-boats.
