US elects president: enough with Donald Trump

Journalists are trained in capitalization. It is our job to illustrate conflicts, paint great pictures, take advantage of the dramaturgy that is hidden in each story. But the story of Donald Trump’s four years in the White House needs neither spin nor dramaturgy. It is in itself sufficient, for a bit unstable, to quote Ibsen. And the question now is whether it is finally enough.

For Americans. The vast majority suggest yes. Challenger Joe Biden leads in part clearly in all opinion polls, also in the necessary tip statuses he needs to win. However, there is great emotion associated with the result. One thing is the uncertainty that is always associated with Trump. Will he be able to attract enough voters to his golden universe of dreams and yearnings for America’s greatness and trivial lies about everything and everyone? And how far are you willing to go so as not to lose?

What lies in the pot is nothing less than the world’s oldest functioning democracy, and so far. You don’t have to look far to find traces of fascism in Trump’s racist populism. A group of leading researchers of fascism has made an appeal on the occasion of the elections in which they write that democracies are in danger, not only in the United States, but throughout the world. They wonder if Trump is simply a fascist, a post-fascist populist, a budding autocrat, or just a particularly loud opportunist.

Event list what emphasizes the president’s undemocratic mindset is as long as a bad year. Donald Trump literally from day one undermined the democracy he was elected to rule for. Just to remind you, he already started with the inauguration ceremony, on January 20, 2017. Then he complained that the press – Fake News – reported that there were far fewer present than during Barack Obama’s ceremony eight years earlier, despite that the photos clearly showed that Trump was wrong. It was then that Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway came to Trump’s rescue, explaining that the disagreement over how many people were actually present was due to what she called Trump’s ‘alternative facts’.

Many of us laugh and scream. Now the man had to be undressed, from what appeared to be a talk that still explained most, think, “alternative facts.” But since then, the world has laughed. Because Donald Trump just kept lying, like he wasn’t taken with his pants down, and now he’s averaging over 20 lies per. day, because as we know he also takes the night to help. Black night. And then even the lies to his wife Melania are not included, because the Trumps’ talks, after all, are not part of the public debate. It’s been a long time since there was anything funny about Donald Trump. Funny, yes, but funny, no.

For that, reality is too serious. It’s more to laugh at the way the 45th president of the United States undermines democracy. To the extent that Trump governs, he governs by the method of fantasy. His daily life is marked by hatred of those he perceives as his opponents, the fear of being denounced as lies and probably also as scammers, and vengeful whims against those who point out his mistakes and criticize him. Day and night, derogatory, false and vulgar messages spill onto Twitter. Whoever wants to continue must sleep little.

And sleep badly. Because, like a parody of a fascist character from a Hollywood farce, Trump has pompous deeds like a little Mussolini. Your communication with followers is about glorifying themselves, and communication with your opponents is about scolding them and telling them what kind of meat hats they are. Only an America in deep crisis could elect such a president. And only an America in even greater crisis can re-elect him.

Today’s election in the United States it’s a referendum on Donald. It is about the man who closed the country to Muslims from countries he did not like, locked children in cages and separated them from their parents, introduced tax exemptions for the very rich, while he himself, who does not allow a single opportunity to brag about how rich he is quitting, practically tax-free. Encouraging militaristic neo-Nazism, he turns a blind eye to police violence against blacks, sending federal forces against civilians in cities where local authorities are asking them to stay away. And that has led people behind the light when it comes to the pandemic. Where Trump’s operetta-like nonsense could be seen by anyone who wanted to see.

Men of america The deep crisis also affects all those who do not want to see. Therefore, today’s elections are a fateful choice for democracy in America. By far the most important option in modern times. Because here great words are applied, that do not need more dramaturgy.
