American Citizens Afraid for the Welfare of our Nation

This is a distress signal.

We the American People are terrified.

Since November eighth, we have done everything in our power to prevent Donald Trump from taking office as the President of the United States, but to no avail, and we now fear for our national security. Donald Trump runs on a platform of fascism. Not only has he proposed policies for ethnic and religious minorities that bear an unnerving resemblance to the first steps of other ethnic cleansing campaigns throughout history (to the point that survivors of those ethnic cleansing campaigns find these policies alarming), but he and his campaign adviser, Kellyanne Conway, have repeatedly made public statements implying that he aspires to make opposing his regime a criminal offense. We are aware that the other branches of the American government are structured to ensure that a president such as Trump would not be able to erode our constitutional liberties, but we no longer have faith in our other elected officials to uphold their duty of maintaining a system of checks and balances. The electoral college failed in doing exactly this, this election has been filled with examples of prominent Republican politicians failing to stand up against Trump's fascist platform, and the Republican party now controls the Senate, controls the House, and (presuming Trump will nominate the next justice) unofficially controls the Supreme Court.

Donald Trump's ascension to office ought to be treated as a concern of the United Nations because there's strong evidence that it's the product of Russia attempting to invade us. When Russian President, Vladimir Putin, seized control of the Crimean Peninsula, the invasion did not begin with military force. Instead, the Kremlin spent upwards of $100 million feeding the population of the area propaganda and otherwise attempting to interfere with the nation's elections. The FBI has already confirmed that Russia worked directly with the Trump campaign to influence the outcome of the election with propaganda, and both political and computer experts claim a high likelihood that electronic voting machines were directly tampered with. The events of the 2016 United States election fit a narrative in which Putin exploited the cultural upheaval within America to seize control of our government alarmingly well. If this is true, then we are at great risk for military invasion.

Our country is rapidly destabilizing. Construction sites of the Dakota Access Pipeline have become battlegrounds with peace at the sites guaranteed to last at most only as long as President Obama's remaining days in office. Hoards of vigilante Trump supporters, many of which are self-identified Nazis, intimidate and sometimes threaten to kill racial and ethnic minorities. The United States military has a larger budget than the next eight largest militaries combined, and protesters are already regularly brutalized by a militarized domestic police force; if President Trump were to begin targeting our constitutional rights, if Russia were to invade the United States, the American people would have no realistic recourse to overcome this hypothetical fascist regime. We the people still have hope that there will be a pathway to protecting the presidential office from Trump that is in line with our constitution, but for the above reason, we cannot wait for all reasonable avenues against totalitarianism to dry up before declaring our country in a state of emergency. Vladimir Putin has his eye on global control, and he just succeeded in installing an unstable puppet as the leader of a country with nuclear weapons; nuclear weapons Trump has demonstrated a nonchalance with the idea of using. The outcome of the 2016 election will pose a threat to the rest of the world sooner or later, and we urge the leaders of America's allied nations to start planning for a worst case scenario.

This is not a petition in the traditional sense. There is no clear course of action that we are asking the UN to take. The American people are just terrified right now.
