Brave New World

To: Sen. Budd, Sen. Tillis, Pres. Trump, Rep. Foushee

From: A constituent in Chapel Hill, NC

February 18, 2025

The shame I feel after this weekend with VP Vance and foreign secretary, Marco Rubio…. We horrified our European allies, with through our support from Ukraine and delighted Vladimir Putin. Of course I knew Trump would cozy up to Putin. But as the daughter of depression and World War II children., I am bereft. How are you after this weekend? How do you feel about turning our backs on the countries that we helped rebuild after World War II? How do you feel about our president on such cozy, intimate terms, from his perspective, with the dictator of Russia? I knew the second term would be bad if he were reelected. I did not envision the assault of the tech bros. I had no idea that we would be watching the implementation of Peter Thiel’s vision. Are you comfortable with converting all of the US monies into crypto? I figure the dismantling of the federal government is a small detail in your political framework. How do you sleep at night knowing that your parents would be horrified at what you’re doing? Somehow, I have to figure out how to live in this self-destructing delusional world, especially the US. Maybe things can be turned around at the midterms. But there has to be enough people who actually take this seriously. And working people are usually absorbed with just trying to live their lives. That’s one of the challenges of getting old… Having enough time to see what’s really going on. And trying to speak up to Representatives, the vast majority of which really just don’t care and hope we will all just go away. So you can continue moving forward in your pursuit of status and power. Regardless of what happens to the society at large. I wish there was someway to get through to my senators.
