So the USA was founded on a few core principals. A couple are:
Due process and innocence until guilt is proven. Looks like that's now gone.
No taxation without representation. Tarrifs are an import tax levied with the sole discretion of the president and without congressional authorization. So that's now also been dismantled.
You are no longer the land of the free when you can be arbitrarily kudnapped.
You are no longer home of the brave when federal agents where masks.
