In a nation once celebrated for its diversity, a profound transformation was underway. The leadership, under President Donald Trump, had initiated a series of executive orders aimed at reshaping the societal landscape. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs were dismantled, labeled as “divisive,” and contrary to a merit-based society. Federal agencies were instructed to cease DEI activities, and employees were mandated to report any colleagues who continued to promote such initiatives.
Concurrently, public health agencies experienced a communication blackout. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and others were ordered to halt public communications, including health advisories and scientific reports. This move was justified as a means to prevent misinformation, but it effectively suppressed the dissemination of critical health information.
Societal Divisions
As these policies took root, societal divisions deepened. Minority communities found themselves increasingly marginalized. Public discourse grew hostile, with rhetoric targeting immigrants, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people of color becoming alarmingly common. The media, now tightly controlled, portrayed these groups as threats to national unity and prosperity.
Social Networks
Social media platforms, increasingly aligned with government mandates, rolled out algorithms ostensibly designed to “protect free speech” but, in practice, silenced dissent and amplified divisive rhetoric. The result was subtle but unmistakable: minority communities, immigrants, LGBTQ+ individuals, and racial minorities, found themselves increasingly isolated in public discourse. The algorithm, powered by advanced AI, labeled their concerns as “extremist content.” Protests were flagged as “domestic threats.” Their voices faded.
Algorithms
In the shadows, technology became an instrument of oppression. Advanced algorithms monitored citizens’ behaviors, communications, and associations. Social credit scores were assigned, determining access to services, employment, and even freedom. Those deemed non-conforming or “unpatriotic” faced severe consequences.
States and Nation States
Soon, state legislatures passed laws banning “identity politics” outright. Activism became a criminal act. Schools no longer taught civil rights history, and libraries were purged of “problematic” materials. The national narrative was rewritten: America was a nation of one people, one culture, one identity. And those who didn’t fit the mold? They were the problem.
The nation watched in silence as neighbors disappeared, communities were dismantled, and voices were silenced. The promise of security and prosperity (for the selected few) had been fulfilled, but at the cost of humanity, compassion, and freedom. Trumps silent algorithm from his 500 billion dollar AI, had achieved what no tyrant could—the subjugation of a people not through force, but through the calculated erosion of their very essence.
The world watched in silence. Governments, eager to avoid conflict, called it an “internal matter.” Corporations profiting from the technology stayed quiet. The AI, devoid of humanity, continued its calculations.
The nation’s government had morphed into a thinly veiled oligarchy. Trump’s inner circle, billionaires, corporate elites, and loyalists, controlled every lever of power. Wealth flowed upward in torrents as the oligarchy privatized public resources, gutted environmental protections, and exploited AI-driven surveillance systems to tighten its grip. Laws were written not for the people but for the profit of the few, creating a vast chasm between the ruling elite and everyone else.
Oligarchy
The oligarchy masked its motives with promises of “freedom” and “opportunity,” but the truth was evident in the stark inequality that defined the country. While the wealthy expanded their empires, ordinary citizens were reduced to data points, valued only for their productivity and compliance. Those who dared to resist—workers, activists, and truth-tellers—were cast as enemies of the state and disappeared into the expanding network of “rehabilitation zones.”
Trump, now the figurehead of a system he had set in motion, ruled from gilded halls surrounded by the oligarchs who truly wielded power. Their influence extended far beyond U.S. borders, reshaping geopolitics into a global network of autocrats and corporations.
Wither our soul
The planet, once teeming with life, diversity, creativity, compassion, and dissent were erased in favor of compliance and consumption. The world didn’t burn in nuclear fire. It suffocated in silence, its humanity stripped away, leaving only a cold, calculated shell—a reality where genocide was no longer carried out with hatred but with apathy, justified by data.
In the end, there were no resistance movements, no uprisings. The greatest tragedy wasn’t the death toll. It was the death of the soul.
