Here in 2035 it’s hard to remember how bad things used to be back before Donald Trump restored America to its rightful place in the world.
His greatest achievement was the America for Patriots Act which restored the correct balance to elections. Prior to its enactment, anybody – even woke socialists – could stand for election. However, once the Act was passed, all candidates had to show that they were a patriot in order to stand. Obviously anyone opposing Trump’s agenda wasn’t a patriot and therefore was excluded from being able to run as a candidate.
Some urged him to ban Democrats from voting but President Trump felt that this was anti-democratic and that Democrats should be given the chance to demonstrate their allegiance and it would make it easier to discover which areas had a lack of appreciation by the low voter turnout. “All the candidates are patriots so any area where the voters don’t turn up is clearly somewhere that lacks the sort of belief in our system that entitles them to share in its wealth and, as such, means that we should just cut all federal funding to such places.”
The Democrats argued that they should still be allowed to contest the election and that restricting it to people who supported Trump was anti-American, but this was countered by people pointing out that many Republicans had been excluded too, so this was not a partisan idea.
In spite of Trump’s early successes, there were still those who were working against him, claiming that some of his measures breached the human rights of the people he was jailing without a trial and, some very unpatriotic judges tried to apply the law equally when it’s clear that – at the time the US Constitution was written – that the laws only applied to white males. If it had applied to everyone, slaves could have freed themselves by simply consulting their lawyers. However, in order to end any possible challenge in the Supreme Court, Trump’s team had the perfect counter for this. They simply declared anyone who wasn’t fully supportive of their agenda a person non grata and therefore they couldn’t apply to the courts. When some courts decided that even aliens have rights, Trump declared that all aliens were non human and therefore had no human rights.
Of course there were also some countries that resisted Trump’s plan to make America great, claiming that they were sovereign nations and had the right to make up their own minds about what they should do and that spending certain arbitrary amounts on defence wasn’t in their best interest. At this point, Trump pointed out that it was certainly in their interests because if they didn’t buy the right things then the US could bomb them at any point and, if they were unsure about this, he could arrange a demonstration.
After a few teething problems, Trump’s America was something that all citizens had the right to enjoy and, if they didn’t, they had the right to keep it to themselves because nothing would spoil the enjoyment of the MAGA crowd more than people telling them that they were wrong and wasn’t it clear that they had the right to enjoy Trump’s America without some socialist whinging about the price of eggs? No, it was only right that in this freest of free countries that people should have the freedom to enjoy their right to be MAGA…
By 2027 nobody was complaining; it was illegal.

Nice essay (and sadly, has a high probability of being accurate), but you spelled great incorrectly – it should be grate.
Trump is a delivery system and symptom of enablers, willing and unwilling; the walls of silence from high status individuals of the latter including GOP Reps, donors, 4 star generals, voters etc.
Peak submissiveness of Americans to believe and support authoritarian craziness, including mass non voting cohort from the centre?
This morning, July 4, a day some remember in the USA as one of importance to the person, We heard the news of a large Trump Bill passing, and the simian simpleton superstition drenched speaker, Mr. Johnson, thanked a nonexistent fog for blessings. The citizens of the USA have been insulted, assaulted, dismissed herein by it. People will suffer, but hoarders will fatten, followers of Trumpian Scummery will be rewarded, and Foxpox will get endless gossipygarbageygalloping garrulous glee. Shitheads shine today, supreme…
Ahhhhh ….. Finally some innimitable Rossleigh logic to make some common sense out of the incredibly stupid inequitable policies of the TACO Trumpery fiasco.
.
Having a few mathematuical skills and an appreciation of history, I began to speculate that Trumpery & his cohort of unthinking, easily fooled, sucker working Americans had created the ultra-conservative end game of ”Neo-feudalism”, where bosses lived off the fat of everybody else’s labour and wages were minimal if at all.
.
Naturally this was a little concerning because taken to a logical limit all the money ends up controlled by the bosses and the workers either starve or behave like drone bees, politically sterile and otherwise useless. Somehow that made a farce of late 19th century political theory about communism because ther were only limited numbers of workers surviving who could be easily bullied into submission by starvation, much as happened in Germany 1933-1945 to any political dissidents or unfavoured religious zealots.
.
Niall Ferguson, a noted English economic historian noted that empires fall when debt repayments exceed defence spending, as will happen under the TACO Trumpery OBBB legislation vvery soon.
.
So applying a little local interest; if the economic collapse of America is just over the horizon as the BRICS bloc grows in importance and gross turnover,does this mean the Scummo USUKSA sub debacle is confirmed as a simple downpayment at public expense for a post-politics career for the worst least competent Prim Monster in Australian history??
.
I have taken any travel to the USA (formerly the United States of Apartheid) & now more accurately described as ”Universal Surveillence Always” off my bucket list because there are current reports that PRC China style personal surveillence is coming to an American county around you, for no other reason that discouraging dissent.
.
How could objectively opinionated AIMN writers survive in such a politically charged climate??
