New Year’s Eve 2025
The end of the year 2025 brings each of us our unique and distinct experiences, regardless of whatever corner of the world we have lived under throughout the course of the year. For those of us, myself included, in the United States of America, regardless of where specifically we have been located in the nation, we have experienced significant turmoil, especially involving rollbacks to LGBTQIA+ legal protections following the erosion of human rights that had run rampant since 2022. Society continues to experience moral panics to this day, and cell phone bans in the K-12 schools have become a serious concern, while the nation claims to provide itself on safety.
Unfortunately, hate and discrimination have been at the forefront of American politics throughout the course of the year, and a new phrase was coined early on in the year that had not been used in Trump’s first term: “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Unlike the first Trump regime, the current Trump regime is forcing capitalism and now involved in a new Red Scare against not just communists, but also socialists, anarchists, lesbians, gays, queers, trans, intersex, aromantics, asexuals, and other non-normative groups. Rollbacks and reversions to traditional gender and other social roles have especially been a key issue in the Southern United States, where the idea of hyper-individualism and capitalist “success” myths are especially rampant.
As we close the year 2025 (or open the year 2026, depending on when you are viewing this message), we are unfortunately stuck living under the Trump regime in the United States of America, with cultural hegemony unlikely to diffuse in the near future. Additional governmental control beyond the debt crises will result in increasingly worse living conditions for society across the United States of America and even internationally in less capitalist nations.
