Trump's Normalization: A Red Flag for Democracy

Celebrities Embracing the President

The second inauguration of Donald Trump has sent shockwaves through Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democratic congresswoman from New York. She is deeply concerned about the increasing acceptance of the president among elite figures and celebrities.

"Trump's normalization this time around makes him so much more dangerous than the first time," Ocasio-Cortez emphasized on "The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart."

Cultural Symbols and Elite Support

The congresswoman believes that the association of esteemed fashion designer Oscar de la Renta with Trump's inauguration is an alarming cultural signal. Elites are flocking to Trump, fueling a "billionaire feeding frenzy" and a race to demonstrate their loyalty.

Financial Backing and Failed Protests

Big Tech companies that previously banned Trump are now showing financial support for his inauguration. Additionally, left-wing protests planned for the day were met with only a small turnout.

Reversing Democratic Policies

In his inaugural address, Trump attacked Democratic policies and declared, "America's decline is over."
