AND
the benefit of Doubt is a method to give way to credibility. Perhaps, in a civilized society it does generate certainty, but granting such a concession to a millionaire with all-powerful boasts, a genius of financial tricks and master of business, good for a few and bad for millions, is a mistake.
Even worse. A duo of millionaires managing the economy of a country so indebted sounds something worse than an own goal. As soon as the whims of one contradict those of the other, the situation will become complicated, not only for immigrant groups or for Republican and Democratic mascots and, much less for the manufacturers of war artifacts who will decrease their sales due to the apparent desire pacifist of President-elect Donald Trump. The truth is that the majority of the population will be the most affected. And the impact will be for everyone, especially for commercial partners, voluntary or obligated.
The damage that will come with the economic challenges that Trump, supported by Elon Musk, intends to solve, will be for the entire population, as we already said in other articles in this space. The Day. But, also, the American voters themselves, who saw in Donald Trump a path to the speedy economic recovery of their country, agree with the president’s treacherous promises to free the country from those invasive, uncivilized, criminal and drug-addicted migrants. of the population and responsible for the high rates of violence: robbery, kidnappings, murders, etc.
In short, those who voted for Trump are hoping that next year they will already be back to the capitalist wonder years that led that society to the consumerist way of life and domination of neighboring countries rather than returning them to their backyard. That’s what they call make america great again
. Without caring that, to do so, they have to impose their policy of excesses.
Indeed, as teacher John Saxe-Fernández points out, in his article Trump: Hegemonic crisis? On the 14th of this month of this same newspaper, the arrival of the businessman to the White House since his first term was a surprise that, apparently, has not been assimilated by Democratic voters, nor by the leadership of that party. Will it be true?
For this reason, we believe that President Biden’s campaign and, later, that of Kamala Harris, vice president who replaces the president, against the grain, were not designed on the basis of a deep political, economic or social analysis. So how do you process your proposals? They do it, as we see, based on threats and worn-out statements, with principles violated by themselves and with white lies, they say: we are fighting for a new path forward. Maybe they should have added without the culture of weapons and drugs and without invasions of other nations, without war support to any country and even less to those genocidal governments (e.g. Israel) and without commercial extortion to partners and non-partners
. And, they also said: We will protect our fundamental freedoms, strengthen our democracy, and ensure opportunities so that every person has the chance not only to survive, but to get ahead.. Speech very similar to the old PRI campaign messages. There is no doubt that ideas are recycled and break borders.
The Democratic Party tried to convince that Harris always defended the population, confronted predators, scammers and opposed multiple special interests
. One of his least credible promises was that, as president and from the White House converted into a great trench, he was going to unite all Americans to achieve the highest aspirations. Although the candidate did not clearly specify which ones she was referring to. This is where Bernie Sander, former progressive candidate, launches strong criticism of Democratic policy: It should come as no surprise that a Democratic Party that has abandoned the working class finds that the working class has abandoned it.
. In Mexico we have multiple examples.
Political parties come and go, and they forget that they are a dispensable tool. In effect, it is the most organized means for the people to take power. Otherwise, the party will be a group of opportunists that takes over the destiny of a nation, through peaceful means, or through a coup d’état, so aided by the mafias supported by the United States.
In a few days, Trump will begin his government with the obligation to fulfill his violent promises. He will try to destroy the internal enemy (?), he will destroy the Marxists (?), the migrants without permission, the journalists who denounce the republican pestilences, the progressive students and he will subdue all those groups that hinder him.
So the saying Better bad for being known than good for knowing
loses its hopeful meaning. In the United States, neither Republicans nor Democrats deserve the benefit of the doubt.
