Millions of ladies (and gentlemen) remain in the United States who now face their greatest evidence. What happens in the country, and in the rest of the world, will also depend on these people.
History of two possession shots: why Trump’s second mandate paints much worse for the country
In the early hours of the presidency of Donald Trump it is already difficult to elucidate which decision entails more risks to the democracy of the country and the stability of the world. Is the pardon to all the assailants of the Capitol, including those who They beat police and they say proud that they would commit crimes on behalf of Trump or that Now they will buy more weapons? Or the challenge to the Constitution that can sow a new way to skip all the rules by signing a decree declaring the right to be an American citizen if you are born in the United States? Or will the decree that animates be worse To the purge of the Department of Justice?
How dangerous will be The abandonment of the World Health Organization and The paralysis of any message or report of public agencies that develop essential medical research for the world? What message does it send The lifting of sanctions What did the administration bid the violent settlers in the West Bank? EITHER The blockade of solar and wind energy projects while favoring oil companies?
In addition to the decrees that affect national policies in a broader way, almost all the actions of the new old president of the United States have individual punishments for officials, former critical allies and anyone who has applied laws that do not like Trump, His new oligarchs or conservatives who have prepared the government plan.
It is not enough to say goodbye To the commander at the head of the Coast Guardwe must include a statement accusing her of all the evils that interest Trump is the border, drugs or attempts to diversify the staff (she was the first woman to occupy the position). It is not enough to load all the programs that try to recruit more women or non -white people to better reflect the reality of a very diverse country, it is necessary suspend all officials and other employees who were in charge of those programs. It is not worth limiting public access and insulting a critic, you have to put your life at risk removing official protection When threatened.
The signs of what is coming are clear and were already before their arrival to power, as the journalist Andrea Rizzi portrays with the title of his newly published essay: The era of revenge. Rizzi talks about Trump, but also of the two most similar leaders in spirit and intention, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, and others less obvious but also moved by that mechanism that seems to mobilize or leave indifferent to enough citizens.
“Trump’s triumph in 2024 is the totemic reference of the thrust of the national popular wave, how material and cultural resentments can be manipulated to become decisive forces,” writes Rizzi. “Trump’s second victory is perhaps the greatest example of the progress of the hypnosis pest that underlies the rematch era,” writes the journalist, who underlines the paradox that an elite member whose policies have already favored the richer and more powerful falsely presents as the voice of the workers.
There is little to grab a very uncertain world, but as Dave Bojanowski, a retired rural conservation expert from the north of the state of New York, told me a few days ago, a substantial part of the country does not want “a divided country” and will not shut up before authoritarian control. The Democratic opposition and civil organizations will not stop (They have already denounced before the courts the unconstitutional movement to end the right of citizenship of children of migrants with or without visa) nor the gestures of individual courage. In the early hours of the Trump presidency, we have already seen brave voices that do not shut up even though the revenge of the commander-in-chief can fall on critical people.
There is the example of two very different women: the Episcopalian bishop of Washington, Mariann Edgar Budde, who dared in his sermon against Trump to defend migrants and trans people and ask for “mercy” to the new president (which reacted calling her ” disgusting ”) and Pamela Hempill, Idaho grandmother who participated in the assault on the Capitol and was convicted of it and, despite the threats of his former Trumban colleagues, has rejected the pardon of the new president because he considers himself guilty and does not want the history to be rewritten.
Millions of ladies (and gentlemen) remain in the United States such as Mariann and Pamela who now face their greatest evidence. What happens in the country, and the rest of the world, will also depend on these people.
