Creeping Civil War

Claiming to represent the “will of the people,” the Trump regime is at war with American society as it actually exists.

I could only acknowledge the latest events briefly - the assassinations of Democratic lawmakers, the mass mobilization of a pluralistic America against the regime, the embarrassing excuse of a military parade in the nation’s capital - since I wrote the piece last week, focused on LA.

I’ll write an extended reflection on how all of these events are intimately connected - demonstrating both the Trumpists’ incompetence and their malice, both how vulnerable the regime is as well as how acutely dangerous the situation is - later this week for the newsletter (in English).

Thanks. My father was from Wiesbaden & I have family there, but to be honest, my German is abysmal. I really need to brush up (re-learn) on it.

How has the German media landscape changed in its attitude towards covering Trump and American right-wing? You, previously, mentioned that a German media outlet refused to publish your article, because of your description of the US Supreme Court.
