Americas weapons
In the USA, the choice between a pardoned narcissist and a grumpy old man is spared. Nevertheless, it shows what happens when the rules of political decorum are lost. But isn't it so: Every country gets the government it deserves.
After Donald Trump recently survived an attack by a mere body movement in the right moment, he declared: "God alone prevented the unthinkable." Who else could it have been?! One might think that this statement about the supposed work of a higher being is a sentence that millions of believers around the world utter every day when they narrowly escape an accident or recover from a serious illness. But we know from experience that Trump means more than a humble reference to an imaginary force with him. He fancies himself the Messiah who makes America "great again."
So it's no wonder - and if so, then a divinely-created one - that the Republican Party has transformed itself into a significant cult with an unassailable guru at the helm. This one is now preparing to become President of the United States for the second time and wants to bring happiness to our suffering planet on Earth. As soon as he - priorities are important - forgives himself. After all, the fact that the bullet only hit his ear and missed his brain is - according to Trump's twisted logic - "a chance to bring the whole country, indeed the whole world, together." Peace, joy, pancakes.
"I am grateful to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for turning to me, because as the next President of the United States, I will bring peace to the world and end the war that has cost so many lives and destroyed countless innocent families," Trump declared. It's only consistent that he emphasized that it was President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine who called him and not the other way around. After all, he, Trump, is the angel of peace who has the ability to convince the bloodthirsty Putin of love. How that should work is still not even in the works.
What humanity already knows is that Trump would choose an electric shock over a bite from a shark. During a campaign event in Las Vegas, the teleprompter failed, and the Republican, who finds renewable energy and electric cars unnecessary, began thinking about electric boats: "What would happen if the boat sinks and you are in the boat, and you have this incredibly strong battery, and the battery is now underwater. And there's a shark, which is only about 10 meters away. I believe the water has a lot of electrical current. But do you know what I would do?" He would "choose the electric shock every time. I wouldn't get closer to the shark."
Hatred in Political Debate
That doesn't sound pleasant, and it isn't. But a doctor who examined Trump sees it differently. "Do you all know Ronny Jackson, the congressman from Texas?", asked the Republican, addressing his supporters. "He said I'm the healthiest President in history, so I like him very much." We're all too familiar with that: Anyone who sticks to Trump, this narcissist, is rewarded with love. The doctor who entered politics is named Ronny Jackson, not Johnson, by the way.
This mistake was ignored by the Messiah and his followers, allowing them to continue uninterrupted in bashing Joe Biden. Trump continuously sent out videos showing the outgoing US President stumbling, stammering, disoriented, clumsy, and overall disoriented. In America, this foolishness has become the new norm. Insults and vitriol in political debates have reached an unexpected scale - all thanks to Trump, the self-proclaimed savior, who holds nothing sacred.
Biden's IQ is around 70, Trump claimed hours after his lie, wanting to heal the country after the shot to his right ear. A person with an IQ of 70 is considered to be on the border of mental disability. What Trump meant by this: The outgoing Chief in the White House is a simpleton. Contrary to Trump's claims, Biden is actually quite intelligent. However, his recent behavior has been dangerously foolish. His refusal to give up his presidential candidacy despite increasing physical and mental deterioration and instead providing Trump with daily ammunition for attacks, showed that Biden is far from being free of arrogance and power-hunger.
The withdrawal of the Democrat is no act of political goodwill, but a solo move, accompanied by the revenge of an injured ego, who was forced to resign in disgrace. It seemed for a moment that the outgoing US President, in his desperation - who wouldn't want to appear as a senile old man to himself and the public - was planning to use a trick from Trump, namely to tell fables. Biden spread the tale of sinister deep state figures, which is incredibly popular among Trump's followers. Biden believed, as reported by the "New York Times," in a conspiracy among leading Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama, who wanted to get rid of "good Joe." What was true: They had realized that Biden was a lost cause against Trump.
Kamala Harris is only a backup
Given the TV images of Biden, it was laughable and even alarming when the White House did not announce the latest political initiatives of the President, but statements like these: "His pulse, blood pressure, respiratory frequency, and temperature are still absolutely normal." Not to be forgotten: It's about the USA, the still most powerful country in the (western) world, which is currently disintegrating and revealing what happens when you neglect deep-rooted reforms, such as its two-party electoral system, which originated in the era of horse-drawn carriages and stagecoaches, and has not been updated.
Even if US citizens are spared the choice between a convicted narcissist and a grumpy old man, one must admit: poor America. It will soon become apparent that Kamala Harris is only a backup. Biden had never intended to propose her as his successor, not even in 2028. He had tasked his vice president with combating illegal immigration from Central American countries into the USA and reforming national voting rights - tasks that were almost impossible, especially since Republican-led states were blocking Harris. The approval ratings for her are low, even among Democrats and blacks.
In the race for the 2020 presidential candidacy, Harris dropped out before it began. Her chances were slim. No one knew what she stood for. This has only changed fragmentedly to this day. With the topics of abortions, guns, and her being the first woman in office, she will find it hard against Trump's aggressiveness. Moreover, she also has to fight against her image, even her closest associates being displeased. One of them anonymously told the "Washington Post": "With Kamala, you have to endure a lot of soul-crushing criticism and also her own lack of self-confidence." Thus, it's Trump or Harris. Neither are rosy prospects. But ultimately, the US gets the government it deserves.
In the midst of speculations about the U.S. Presidential Election 2024, Donald Trump continued his election campaign, drawing comparisons to a messiah aiming to make America "great again." Despite Joe Biden's continued presence in the political arena, some within the Democratic Party see Kamala Harris as a potential backup candidate.
The Republican Party, led by Trump, has been criticized for fostering a significant cult with an unassailable guru at its helm. This transformative momentum in the party has led some to question the future of American politics, given the polarizing nature of the election season.
Regardless of who ascends to the presidency in the 2024 race, political tensions between the two major parties remain high. Insults and vitriol in political debates continue to escalate, making it challenging for politicians to navigate the responsibility of leading the United States of America with integrity and unity.
