What if I told you the next U.S. election could be the last one?
I know that sounds extreme. But I’m Canadian, watching from the sidelines, and what’s happening in the U.S. right now should terrify all of us — because it won’t stop at the border.
On May 22, 2025, the U.S. House of Representatives passed something called the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” That name sounds harmless — even uplifting. But the details? They’re chilling.
What This Bill Means — In Real Terms
- No more guaranteed elections. The president could delay or cancel them legally.
- Court rulings can be ignored. The president could bypass Supreme Court decisions for over a year.
- Workers fired for "disloyalty." If you disagree with the president, you could lose your job.
- Judges lose power to enforce laws. The justice system becomes symbolic.
- Protestors tracked and punished. Surveillance on dissenters could be legal.
- LGBTQ+ rights rolled back. Education, health care, and free press targeted.
- Internet freedom at risk. VPNs could be tracked, speech monitored, votes suppressed.
This bill doesn’t just break the rules. It rewrites them — to make it easier for a leader to become a dictator without breaking a single law.
It Passed — By Just One Vote
This is what makes it even scarier: It passed by ONE vote.
Thousands of people spoke up. Activists, veterans, journalists, and everyday citizens begged lawmakers to reject it. The debate was fierce. The vote was split. But in the end, one single vote was the difference between protecting democracy and dismantling it.
One vote. That’s all it took.
That tells us two things:
- Every voice matters. People almost stopped it.
- We’re on the edge. Next time, we might not get another chance.
Why This Matters to Canadians — And the World
When America changes, the world changes. We share borders, media, platforms, economy, and influence. If democracy collapses there, it puts pressure on Canada and other countries to follow.
Authoritarianism spreads through fear and silence. We can’t afford to look away.
What We Can Do
- Speak up. Share this post. Tell others what's happening.
- Support independent media. Truth is under attack. Fund it.
- Pressure our leaders. Canada must stand up for democracy globally.
- Protect the vulnerable. They are always the first to be harmed.
This isn’t just a U.S. crisis. It’s a global warning. The next U.S. vote could be the last — and we’ll all feel the consequences.
Como canadiense viendo EE.UU. — Tengo miedo por todos
¿Y si te dijera que la próxima elección estadounidense podría ser la última?
Suena extremo, lo sé. Pero soy canadiense, y lo que está pasando en EE.UU. es aterrador — y no se quedará allí.
La Cámara de Representantes aprobó la ley "One Big Beautiful Bill" por un solo voto. Esta ley permite cancelar elecciones, ignorar fallos judiciales, despedir trabajadores por opiniones políticas y castigar a manifestantes.
Esto no es solo una crisis estadounidense. Es una señal de advertencia mundial.
Solo un voto. Así de cerca estamos de perder la democracia.
En tant que Canadien observant les États-Unis — j’ai peur pour nous tous
Et si je vous disais que la prochaine élection américaine pourrait être la dernière?
Cela semble extrême. Mais ce que je vois se passer aux États-Unis est effrayant. Et cela ne s’arrêtera pas là-bas.
La Chambre des représentants a adopté la loi « One Big Beautiful Bill » avec une majorité d’un seul vote. Cette loi autorise le report ou l’annulation des élections, l’ignorance des décisions de justice, le licenciement pour motifs politiques et la surveillance des manifestants.
Un seul vote. C’est tout ce qu’il a fallu. La démocratie est en danger, et nous devons agir.
If you're reading this — please share it. Democracy depends on people speaking up before it's too late.
