AmaMelika atshangatshangisa iiflegi zaseMelika.Iifoto zeBrooks Kraft / Getty Imfazwe yamakhaya isemoyeni kule hlotyana lishushu-ubuncinci ngokokuvota. Abantu abaninzi baseMelika abonwabanga kwinqanaba lokuphelelwa lithemba malunga neyantlukwano yethu yezopolitiko, esele inyuka iminyaka kwaye ifikelele kwinqanaba lobunzima ngexesha lobongameli bukaDonald Trump. Andithethi ngokwabelana ngokwamaqela, okungapheliyo kwidemokhrasi, endaweni yoko kuyinto egqithisileyo-kwaye inokuba yingozi.
Kwiveki ephelileyo, i Rasmussen poll kutyhilwe ukuba iipesenti ezingama-31 zabavoti ezothusayo ziphendule ngelithi kusenokwenzeka ukuba i-United States iyakufumana imfazwe yesibini yamakhaya ngexesha elithile kwiminyaka emihlanu ezayo. Olu loyiko alupheleliselwanga kumaphiko asekhohlo angonwabanga kwaphela yi-White House yangoku. Ngelixa iipesenti ezingama-37 zeedemokhrasi zisoyika ukuba imfazwe entsha yamakhaya yayininzi, ngokunjalo nepesenti ezingama-32 zamaRiphabhlikhi, ngeRasmussen.
E-Melika, intetho yomnye umlo wamakhaya uzisa ukuthelekiswa neyokugqibela, i-maelstrom yokubulala abantu eyaqala ngo-1861 ukuya ku-1865. Olo ngquzulwano lwalunokuthintelwa, olwathi ngenxa yokukhubazeka kwezopolitiko nobuyatha aluzange luthintelwe, lwathatha ubomi besigidi esinye. AmaMelika. Kuba ilizwe lethu labemi ngelo xesha lalimalunga nezigidi ezingama-31, oko kuyakulingana nokufa kwabantu abangaphezu kwezigidi ezili-10 baseMelika namhlanje.
Ukuphindaphinda kwaloo mbambano kuya kuba ngumbono ombi kakhulu, kwaye iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba, xa sithetha ngokungqongqo, ayinakuphinda. Isizathu sokuba imvukelo ye-Confederate ngokuchasene norhulumente wobumbano yenze imfazwe yamakhaya epheleleyo kukuba i-US Army eyayimile ngo-1861 yayincinci, ngamajoni ayi-16,000 kuphela awayesasazeke kwimikhosi yaseNtshona, ukuba iWashington, DC amandla okubabeka phantsi abavukeli ngokukhawuleza. Ngenxa yokungafuneki komkhosi kunye nesantya, imvukelo yasasazeka eMzantsi, kunye namazwe ali-11 ekugqibeleni azifihla kuManyano.
Izinto zahluke kakhulu namhlanje. Nabani na ongenangqondo ngokwaneleyo ukuba athabathe izixhobo ngokuchasene noMalume Sam kwi-turf yasekhaya uya kutyunyuzwa ubusuku bonke ngamandla emikhosi yethu exhobileyo, ene-1.3 yezigidi zamadoda nabasetyhini abasebenzayo. Ngokungafaniyo ne-1861, amazwe ethu awanayo imikhosi yawo yokuzimela-ngaphandle kokunikela ngomlomo kwigunya likarhulumente, uMkhosi wethu weSizwe uhlanganiswe ngokupheleleyo nomkhosi wase-US-ke akukho mandla okuvukela neWashington. Uluvo lokuba nabani na unokufumana amajoni afanelekileyo ukuba avukele ngokuchasene neFeds yinto eyintandokazi ye-intanethi, hayi eyopolitiko okanye eyomkhosi.
Ungayichazanga eyokuba abantu baseMelika okwangoku bakhathazwa yimfazwe yamakhaya yesibini ezayo inememori engapheliyo (ukuba ikhona). Awudingi ukubhekisa kwii-1860s apha, kuba ii-1960s zazimbi ngokwaneleyo. I-Millennials, ekubonakala ukuba irente ngokwahlukeneyo ngamaxhala eMelika eyahlulekileyo ngo-2018, kubonakala ngathi ayazi ukuba ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1960, ilizwe liqhubeka lisaqhekeka ngenxa yeVietnam kunye namalungelo oluntu, iWashington kwafuneka ihambise amashumi amawaka imikhosi ngaphambili kwekhaya ukulawula uqhushululu ezidolophini.
Kwaqala eDetroit ngoJulayi ka-1967, xa ukungqubana phakathi kwamapolisa kunye nabantu base-Afrika baseMelika baqhuma bangena kwisaqunge. Bejamelene nabaninzi abangama-10 000 abavukeli, amapolisa axhalabile, kwaye uMichigan weSizwe waseMichigan, ongenakho uqeqesho kunye nokuxhuma, wabonakala engakwazi ukuyizolisa imeko, ngokuqinisekileyo ubukho babo babonakala ngathi benza imeko enzima ngakumbi. UMongameli uLyndon Johnson wathumela phantse i-5,000 yeparatroopers ukusuka kwi-82ndkwaye 101stUkwahlulahlulwa komoya, uninzi lwazo amagqala aseVietnam, ukuya eDetroit ukubuyisela ucwangco, olusebenzayo, kodwa iintsuku ezintlanu zoqhushululu zikhokelele ekufeni kwabantu abangama-43 kwaye uninzi lwenzakele.
Le mfundo inzima yaqinisekisa iPentagon ukuba kuza kubakho uqhushululu ezidolophini, kwasekuqaleni kuka-1968 umkhosi wase-U.S izicwangciso ezibanzi ezihleliweyo ngendlela yokujongana neengxaki ezichaphazela ezopolitiko. Umkhosi wawunyanisile, kwaye kwiinyanga ezimbalwa kamva, ekuqaleni kuka-Epreli 1968, imimandla yeedolophu kwilizwe lonke yaqhuma emva kokubulawa kukaMartin Luther King, Omnci. Izixeko ezili-100 zaseMelika yafumana izidubedube ezinzulu nge-Epreli, kubandakanya ikomkhulu lesizwe sethu. Ewe imeko yaseWashington yakhula yangumngcipheko, kunye nabaqhankqalazi babonakala nje kwiibhloko ezivela kwi-White House, kangangokuba ngaphezulu kwama-13,000 amajoni aseburhulumenteni athunyelwa ukubuyisela ucwangco. Amajoni alinde iCapitol ngemipu, ngelixa amajoni omkhosi wamajoni 3rdI-Infantry Regiment, eyaziwa kakhulu ngeenkcukacha zabo zokungcwaba e-Arlington National Cemetery, ikhusele iNdlu ye-White House.
Izinto zazingalunganga eBaltimore, ngaphantsi kweyure kude, apho ibali elinye liphindaphindwayo: Amapolisa endawo agutyungelwa ludushe, kwaye uMalindi weSizwe waseMaryland khange akwazi ukuzola imeko. IPentagon kuye kwafuneka ihambise iiparatroopers ezivela eFort Bragg, eMantla Carolina, kunye neqela lomkhosi ovela eFort Benning, eGeorgia, ukubuyisela ucwangco. I-Task Force yomkhosi iBaltimore, amabrigade amathathu omeleleyo, afaka imikhosi eyi-11,000, kwaye yayisafuna phantse iveki ukubuyisa isixeko kwisimo soxolo.
Kwiminyaka engamashumi amahlanu eyadlulayo, ilizwe lethu lalinomsindo omkhulu kunanamhlanje, liphuma kwizidubedube ezibuhlungu zasezidolophini kulo lonke elaseMelika elikhokelele ekusasazweni okukhulu kwemikhosi yaseburhulumenteni ukusukela kwimfazwe yamakhaya. Okuvuyisayo kukuba, ilizwe lethu alibonanga nto injalo isiphithiphithi esinogonyamelo ukusukela oko. Izidubedube ezibuhlungu zaseLos Angeles entwasahlobo ka-1992, ezazifuna ukuthunyelwa kwamajoni angama-10 000 eCalifornia kaZwelonke oGada kunye namajoni ama-4 000 asebenzayo e-US Army naseMarines ukuzisa phantsi kolawulo, yayisisiganeko esibi kunazo zonke zohlobo lwaso ukusukela eDetroit ngo-1967, kodwa yayisisiganeko esizimeleyo, ingeyiyo eyokuqala kwisidubedube selizwe lonke.
Akukho namnye onokuphika ukuba amaMelika aya esondelelana ngokungaphaya kwezopolitiko, kwaye loo meko ibonakala ikhula igraver minyaka le. Abathathi-nxaxheba kuyo yonke imivumbo bamkela iingcamango zelizwe ngenzondelelo yenkolo yexesha elidala lenkolo, eqhutywa ngabafundisi abashukumisayo beFox News kunye neMSNBC, bezenze ngathi bafunda iindaba. Kuya kuba bubulumko ukuba ungenzi izinto zibonakale zibi ngaphezu kwazo. I-Melika ngexesha likaTrump alikho emngciphekweni wenye imfazwe yamakhaya njengeyokugqibela, nokuba banomsindo kangakanani na abaDemokhrasi kunye namaRiphabhlikhi.
Oko kwathethi, sikwimeko yokucaphuka nokukhubazeka kwezopolitiko okwexeshana okufana nemfazwe ebandayo kunaleyo ishushu. Kwaye ayisiyonto intsha. I-Rasmussen yeveki ephelileyo ityhile ukuba ama-59 epesenti yabantu baseMelika banexhala lokuba abachasi baka-Mongameli uTrump bazokubhenela kugonyamelo. Nangona kunjalo, Olunye uphando lweRasmussen , eyathathwa ngo-2010 isithuba esingaphezulu konyaka kwisithuba sokuqala sika-Barack Obama kwi-White House, yaveza ukuba ama-53 eepesenti amaMelika ayenexhala lokuba abachasi bakamongameli banokubhenela kugonyamelo. Abantu baseMelika bangene kumkhwa ongathandekiyo wokujonga elinye iqela lezopolitiko njengeentshaba kunokuba baphikise, kunye neDemokhrasi kunye neRiphabhlikhi bajongana njengamabhongo ajonge kugonyamelo ukufezekisa oko bangakwaziyo ukukwenza kwibhokisi yokuvota.
Akukho nanye kwezi ebeka kakuhle kwidemokhrasi yethu, kwaye ikamva iMelika elijamelene nayo ayisiyiyo iFort Sumter kwakhona, endaweni yoko, ukwehla kwezopolitiko noqoqosho olungenakuguqulwa oluvutha ngumsindo. Ngamanye amagama, ikamva le-Yugoslavia, ilizwe elalisakuba likwindawo ephezulu elalisenza imisebenzi eyahlukeneyo eliye laya eweni ngo-1991, laqhekeka kwiimfazwe nakwimbubhiso, ngenxa yezopolitiko ezazingasebenzi kakuhle nezopolitiko ezinobundlobongela.
Njengoko benditshilo ngaphambili, ngokusekwe amava am ngokubanzi neBalkans , ukuba iUnited States ikhe yahamba ngendlela yaseYugoslavia, kukho isiphoso esifunyanwa ngazo zombini Iidemokhrasi kwaye Iiriphabliki . Ukuthintela le ntlekele, kuya kuba bubulumko ngalo Julayi 4thukugxila kwinto esidibanisayo njengamaMelika kunaleyo isahlulayo. Ilizwe lethu kukude nokutsha; sineenkulungwane ezimbini ezinesiqingatha zexabiso lezopolitiko esabelana ngazo, ubuzwe obuvavanyiweyo nobunokuthi bube nomtsalane kunye nokudibanisa abemi beemvelaphi zonke-ukuba sifuna njalo. Isinyathelo sokuqala esiqinileyo siyabaphepha abo bafuna omnye umzuzu weFort Sumter.
