Big beautiful bs

I call big, beautiful bs on anyone who calls Trump and his laws un-American.

On the eve of our country’s 249th birthday, Congress passed President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The law calls for radical changes to society that divert money and resources from the poor, allowing the rich to become even richer.

I call big, beautiful bs on anyone who calls it un-American.

Quite the opposite, it’s the culmination of a uniquely American ethos that elevates individualism over the greater good.

One thing that has always been true about America is that when liberty and equality are in conflict, our leaders tend to go with liberty. This bill arguably perverts liberty, but I think it accurately reflects American notions about what it is. 

After all, how things are always reflects the quality of our collective consciousness with surgical precision.

America is the baddest bad-to-the-bone bad the world has ever known, and it got there on the backs of chattel slavery, Black Code laws, prison labor, Jim Crow, and institutional racism. Trump’s bill the same bs, different day. 

The way we humans operate is unsustainable, and dysfunction is accelerating. 

This quintessentially American legislation pushes us closer to a breaking point.

Pick up any history book, and you’ll see how these things tend to unfold.

If I don’t live through another American Revolution, I’ll be stunned.
