In a bold statement, Stacey Abrams has warned that the United States is facing an impending authoritarianism, driven by the Republican Party and the influence of Donald Trump. Speaking at LAX, she expressed deep concern over the violence seen in cities like Minneapolis, claiming it stems from a military occupation that can no longer be ignored. According to Abrams, the GOP’s agenda is dismantling democracy as we know it, and she believes it’s time for civil resistance against such actions.
Abrams has urged Democratic senators to oppose a major funding package that would allocate significant resources to ICE, emphasizing the need to represent citizens rather than support armed forces roaming the streets. Facing political turbulence, she’s unfazed and has launched her 10 Steps Campaign, a call to arms for those who feel similarly alarmed about the current state of affairs in America. With the stakes this high, one can’t help but wonder: are we really aware of the political drama unfolding around us?
