The other America – the Journal News

“A spectrum threat to Europe”: the possible victory of Donald Trump in the american presidential elections. Karl Marx used the expression to qualify the fear that the communism was the cause in the bourgeois world. Now, managers and analysts of the sectors in europe with different lateralization ideological converge in their panic before the possibility of Trump come to occupy the White House. There will be reasons for this? We try to simplify the answer.

In terms of domestic policy, thanks to the system of “checks and balances” that the american Constitution imposes, through the force of the house of Representatives and the Senate, the occupant of the White House may have its hands tied, with great ease, when you want to run your political agenda. Clinton and Obama were in on the skin. A potential president Trump would, with still greater probability, be faced with the same problem, aware of the radicalism of some of its proposals.

However, who occupies the presidency, american has an immense power over the World. Like it or not, the U.S. will determine a large part of balance global. This relevance is strengthened in the moments of greatest tension, as it is the one that we went through. Now the american president, as “chief-in-commander” of the Armed Forces and undefeated and undisputed manager of the foreign policy of the country, has scarce cross-border domestic in the freedom of their international action. For this reason, it is not indifferent, for all you non-americans, who were to be chosen for the place. And, from the beginning, to the europeans.

For many years, the american system has produced figures that arrived in Washington with the approval of the national elites, republican or democrat. Hillary Clinton, if he were to be elected, is a clear expression of this elite. Trump won’t be.

a Lot of us, over the years, we talked about the “deep America”, that the World focused for yourself, that caricaturávamos as ignorant, bigoted, and cultor of a nationalism hick. We saw the sunrise Sarah Palin and the “Tea Party”, but we were comforted in the idea that “that America” never condicionaria, in a decisive way, the attitude of the country. In the background, all confiávamos that, regardless of who it was that America would choose, it would be always someone that the emergence of the elite that has always dominated Washington.

Enganámo us. One day, this is now, that America outside of the “mainstream”, in the heart of the area conservative, has produced a candidate that the elite was unable to oppose an alternative. Someone with a speech erratic, a “gaffeur”, with an international agenda that goes from the “wall” mexican to seduction by Putin, passing by the threat of the exit of the NATO and other weirdness. A certain American he got tired of the parties of the “mainstream” and is the boost figures out of the traditional matrix. It was not Sanders from the democratic side, it is the Trump in the republican.

so, we have to be realistic: the nightmares, sometimes also materialize.
