It's official, Kellyanne Conway's alternate realities have polluted the country, as Republicans embrace the lie that launched the coup - that the presidential election was stolen from Trump.
It's weird. Americans are watching another coup attempt slowly unfold before their eyes. If Republicans don't legally win the presidency in 2024, they have plans to overturn the results. Is anyone watching?
Red states have been passing voter suppression laws and stuffing GOP election officials in states electoral systems in anticipation of winning - one way, or another.
Is anyone watching?
Yes. We're watching democracy shrivel up as Trump's minions drag the nation into an authoritarian state with him as dictator for life.
It's really sad. We got a new president this year but can't seem to get rid of the old one who hangs around the fringes of society steadily plotting another assault on our freedoms.
This is America today. I hope the new year is better. For all of our sakes.

Instead of rushing to buy a new drift hunters car, I decided to invest time in learning how the vehicle behaved. That decision made upgrading much more rewarding because I could clearly feel the improvements after each modification.
There's real urgency in your voice here, and that's what makes this land. The way you weave the rhetorical question through the piece — "Is anyone watching?" — gives it a rhythm that pulls the reader forward and refuses to let them look away. That closing line lands especially well: quiet, personal, and hopeful despite everything. Writing about politics without slipping into detachment is hard, and you've kept it human throughout. Thanks for putting words to something a lot of people are feeling.
