Unfortunately, the fight that took place in the debate between Trump and Biden on CNN is not a trivial episode, but an expression of the dire situation in which the United States finds itself. We say it without prejudice, which would also be useless if it were practiced here in Italy: Trump has all the responsibility for that brawl, with the election practiced rightly, which forces Biden to put himself on the same level so as not to appear not submissive or submissive . subordinate.
Biden, who is not a leader but has a good level of political professionalism, would never have stepped into that field of his own choosing. It was Trump who chose to have the clash come with a kind of transposition of Lucha (a sport in which all shots are allowed) in the televised debate. He made this choice because he has two floors in his head, a floor A and a floor B.
Plan A is to be able to win the elections once again by voting the entire extremist electorate that manages to mobilize, galvanize and concentrate in the key states focusing on the fact that, instead, the democratic electorate, potentially in the majority, is However, it is crossed by differences so deep that the most moderate or more extreme zones will not vote.
Plan B, on the other hand, is derived from the hypothesis of its electoral defeat on a numerical level: if the Democratic Party, also due to its incredible extremism, manages to mobilize all its components and win the elections, then Trump intends not to recognize anyway . that result and aim for a substantially violent conquest of power.
Trump’s verbal extremism and everyday political behavior can only be explained in rational terms because Plan B exists, otherwise it would not be understandable. Even all the attempts he has made so far to get the national guard and even the army to intervene with weapons in order to crush the unrest resulting from the reactions to the killings perpetrated by some police officers is confirmation that he is pursuing the claim of a very high level. . of violence that later has its translation also in the conclusions of the electoral battle.
In this context, black extremists who react to police crimes with fires and devastation are objectively fully functional to plan B cherished by Trump. In all this there is a broader disturbing implication that derives from the reaction of Trump, Bolsonaro and the first Johnson and some far-right forces in Europe (in England, in Germany and in some performances by Salvini) in the face of the pandemic. .
If it is true that China has the grave responsibility of having communicated to the world the contagion that broke out in its territory with a long delay, in turn Trump had been informed of it since January, but he ignored it and also Bolsonaro and Johnson. They have taken into account the deaths of thousands and thousands of people so as not to block economic activities on the basis of a completely Darwinian vision of the economy and society.
Despite the corrections to this line imposed by the US governors, however, Trump has boycotted, underestimated and mocked (his jokes against Biden for the use of emblematic masks) the anti-pandemic measures taken in the absence of the vaccine. In short, we are faced with a hellish mix and a very dangerous situation. Also due to the chain of mistakes made in recent years by the Democratic Party and by Obama himself in 2016, a completely atypical character with strong elements of adventurerism and with disturbing relations with Putin that has nothing to do with the tradition of the Republican Party, but instead it is related to the realm of white supremacism and that he is willing to do anything not to give up power.
