In the wake of Trump's return to the White House, concerns over his potential impact on American democracy and global perception grow. The article laments the emotional turmoil felt after his inauguration, emphasizing the need to recognize and confront the actions and ideologies that define his administration. It stresses vigilance in acknowledging the unprecedented acts, such as pardoning insurrectionists, and how these actions threaten democratic values. The author insists we document these developments to prepare for eventual recovery from the undermining of democratic principles by a regime described as free of political and moral constraints.

As much as I would have liked to stay in bed grieving, it's crucial to observe and understand the immense power the federal government holds under Trump's rule.
