Trump takes aim at states’ rights, and the Constitution

Five months in Donald TrumpChapter Two, already looks like five years. Management shock strategy and awe He left the country in dizzy. there Daft tariff scheme Americans have left concern about economic crash. We have seen k the civil serviceand Legal systemand Academic circlesThe companies and even churches were forced to deal with an unprecedented attack by the management of hell to control almost every independent institution in our society. Now, with Trump Group deportation batch In Los Angeles and his decision California National Guard FederationThe same constitution is attacked by direct threats of government and local sovereignty.

As long as most of us can remember it, the “rights” of states were the basis for the American conservative ideology. For generations, the southern states used the concept to justify slavery, civil war and generations of Jim Crowe. Although the liberals did not agree to the arguments of the rights of countries that are used to deny comprehensive human rights (and they believed that these arguments were not issued in good faith), they did not deny the concept of the state’s sovereignty itself under the constitution. Without modifying, or fully tearing it, they realized that it was not worthy to pretend that federalism did not exist or recognize only the idea when it was politically useful.

Recently, the conservative Supreme Court appointed the concept with Dobbs decisionThe constitutional right to abortion in the ROE V case. WADE and keep countries have the right to organize abortion, including its prohibition. The ruling has proven that the idea of ​​state rights is still present between conservatives, at least when they are beneficial to their cause.

In his first opening speech, Trump’s federal banner panel pledged to transfer “power from Washington, DC, and return it to you, the American people.” But over his first term, and now, five months after his second term, it seems that the ideology – like many other principles that defined the Republican Party – once – once – It is no longer in operation. On Sunday night on the social truth, the Ice request Her raids escalate In the cities and countries run by his political enemies:

Trump is very clear here about the reason for targeting these cities. Not because of migration, although it is used as an excuse. After all, two of the three countries with The largest number of not documented people They are the red states in Texas and Florida. In recent days, Trump Exempt Agricultural industries, hospitality and meat therapy, which seems to be not part of the “Democratic Energy Center”. (the building and manufacturing It is better for the sectors to get the ball and start doing some dangerous takeoff. Send marine pedestrians in the active service.

On his way to the Group of Seven summit on Sunday, Trump claimed that if the Federal National Guard did not order Los Angeles last week, the city will be on the fire:

This is nonsense. There are protests and the Los Angeles Police Administration was dealing with them. But there is a way to his madness, even if he does not know it completely. On Sunday, Dr. Ruth Bin Ghghawat, author of the book “Al -Aqaliya: Mussolini to the present time”, ” Books in the New York Times This is by summoning the forces to the Los Angeles patrol, Delivery of my party speech In Fort Prague and submitted on Saturday Military Christmas processionTrump is trying to get used to the American public in a different relationship with the army. In this new version, the army is supposed to see an institution that explicitly serves the president and its political agenda.

Ben-Ghiat goes to an explanation that this is the way the tyrants practice strength, and monitors:

The Trump administration is now using the country’s second largest city as a background for its efforts to create a visualization of the national crisis. Doing this can allow it to justify the measures that can enable the government to act against its citizens. This is enough. The most anxious is what history shows to us: that often, these crises become almost permanent-“not the exception but the rule”, as the philosopher anti-Nazi and the Benjamin is once observed.

The speech in Trump’s social position – that democratic politicians and voters are “tired of reason” and “hate our country” – meaning that there is likely to be more Arrests and Roughness From democratic politicians who are trying to take their jobs. Perhaps we can expect more violence, including the type we saw this weekend in Minneapolis, when he is the maximum right -wing extrem. Democratic political assassination Her husband, and two others were injured. This is the type of crises that Trump seems to be a provocation.

But I do not think that it should depend on the public in general, even in the red states, by compliance with his plans. Despite all his activity last week, there was one event that all over them:

Based on the records obtained from the No Kings Day Event Event, and an induction of cities that we do not have yet, approximately 4-6 million people appear to have protested Trump throughout the United States yesterday. This is approximately 2 % of American pop!

This is a strict analysis by reliable data and information technology researchers, along with The latest votingIt appears that the majority of the audience is not deceived. (From the way the forces walked in a very low energy procession, they seem to be not sold on Trump’s efforts as well.)

But the military scene in the capital, along with the events in Los Angeles, was a realistic reminder of the place where Trump believes that the American power is concentrated. Not in the United States, as former conservative hero Ronald Reagan believes. Not even in the federal government in Washington, where the streets are located It is searched for damage From tanks and military vehicles. But in himself the potential king.
