The article discusses a conversation led by Patrick Healy among Opinion columnists regarding the implications of President Trump's governance on American democracy and civil liberties. They express concern over increasing government actions against dissenters, illustrated by examples of federal agents detaining individuals for political activities. Masha Gessen notes that while the future is uncertain, political speech is becoming more restricted, particularly for immigrants and students. Healy emphasizes a perception of alignment with Trump’s governance as the only accepted stance, indicating a chilling effect on free expression in the U.S.
There's only one correct side in the eyes of the American government today - President Trump's side.
The future is not preordained. We can observe today's events and the direction in which things are moving, but we cannot predict the future.
