It started with deadly strikes on alleged "drug boats" in the Caribbean, which were viewed as potential war crimes by experts and allies of the United States. Within weeks, all signs pointed to an invasion of Venezuela and a new regime change war for the United States, despite Venezuela playing only a minor role in international drug smuggling. But the evidence shows Trump's warmongering in Venezuela has very little to do with drugs, and the consequences of this war would stretch far beyond Latin America.

In part, but also the eroding of rights like after 911

I'm starting to feel like if the rights were so easily eroded then maybe they weren't rights in the first place.

I can see why people say that, but I disagree with the sentiment. If they weren't rights then the erosion was not needed the actions could take place as it was not taboo or culturally sensitive. The fact it happened faster during 911 ignores that this was an opportunity to what was being done slowly over time, so it was not quite so easy.
