Umnyulwa we-Democratic Presidential Hillary Clinton ubulisa abaxhasi eCedar Park Cafe ngo-Novemba 6, 2016 ePhiladelphia, ePennsylvania. Kusele iintsuku ezimbini kude kufike usuku lonyulo, uHillary Clinton ukhankasa eFlorida nasePennsylvania.UJustin Sullivan / Getty Izithombe IPHONDO LENTSHONA KOLONI-Ngaba iPA iyadlala?
Iipolitiki zamva nje zibonisa ukuqiniswa kobuhlanga boMongameli ePennsylvania, i-Keystone State, abahlali bayo bakhethe uMongameli wase-US iipesenti ezingama-75 zexesha ukusukela ngo-1900.
Ngeengcali ezibonisa iPennsylvania njengokudlala, kwaye ezinye, kubandakanya nowayesakuba nguSodolophu weSixeko saseNew York uRudy Giuliani, beqikelela ukuba iivoti zonyulo ezingama-20 zikarhulumente ziya kubomvu (zisenza uDonald J. Trump abe yiRiphabhlikhi yokuqala yokuphumelela urhulumente ukusukela ngeGeorge HW Bush ngo-1988), Ndithathe isigqibo sokubetha ezitalatweni kule veki iphelileyo ukufumana ukubetha.
Njengentatheli yesiXeko saseNew York esihlala sityelela idolophu yasekhaya ePittsburgh, ndiyazi kakuhle ngembali yayo eyahlukileyo njenge dolophu yentsimbi eyayisakuba yintsimbi, kwaye ndisekhaya kwiiReagan Democrats ezininzi ezanceda ukujika ilizwe libe bomvu kunyulo luka 1980 kunye no 1984.
Ngenxa yokunyuka ukuya kumzuzu, izinto eziguqukayo, ugqatso lukhuni ngokukodwa ukuba luqashelwe kweli lizwe, kunye needolophu zalo ezincinci ezinamathele, kunye neenqaba ezikhululekileyo zesiko lasePhiladelphia eMpuma nasePittsburgh eNtshona.
Kuba akukho kuvota kwangoko ePennsylvania (kwaye urhulumente ubonelela ngokuvota ngokungabikho kwetyala ngaphandle kwesizathu kuphela), uvoto olubalulekileyo belungekenzeki phambi kwesigqibo soMlawuli we-FBI uJames Comey sokuphinda aqwalasele umba wokuphatha kukaHillary Clinton ulwazi oluhleliweyo. UClinton akazange avalele phambili apha, njengoko enamazwe afana neNevada neFlorida. Kwaye a I-Harper poll ikhutshwe ngeCawa ubonise ugqatso kubushushu obufileyo ePennsylvania, noTrump noClinton ngamnye kwiipesenti ezingama-46.
UClinton wenze amatyelelo aliqela ePennsylvania kwiintsuku zokugqibela zomdyarho. NgoMgqibelo ebusuku wazibandakanya neFiladelfiya, apho wabonakala khona kwikonsathi yasimahla kunye neenkwenkwezi zepop uKaty Perry. Kwaye kabini kwezi veki zimbini zidlulileyo, ufike ePittsburgh, ethetha kwisixeko saseSquirrel Hill ebumelwaneni ngasekupheleni kuka-Okthobha, nangolwesiHlanu wokugqibela kwisixeko saseHeinz Field, apho iPittsburgh Steelers idlala khona.
Ubuyela ePittsburgh kwakhona: ngoMvulo, usuku lokugqibela phambi konyulo. (UTrump ubhekise eScranton ngaloo mini).
Ukuza kukaClinton kathathu kwiiveki ezimbini zokugqibela zephulo-hayi ePennsylvania kuphela, kodwa ePittsburgh, inqaba yaseburhulumenteni yasentshona yedemokhrasi- kushukumisa lo mbuzo: ingaba yena kunye nephulo lakhe bakhathazekile kungakho ukuphazamiseka apha?
Wathetha ngento ayijonga njengothatho-ndaba kumajelo eendaba ngokuchasene neTrump 'njengesixhobo sokubuyisa umva' kwaye emqhubela ukuba axhase umgqatswa. Akakholelwa ukuba uTrump ngumkhethe.
Kubonakale kufanelekile ukuxoxa ngomdyarho wamahashe nabantu baseNtshona Pennsylvani ngokungaqhelekanga, ngendlebe yokuva ukuba ingaba uDonald Trump unalo na ithuba apha.
Kwiveki ephelileyo kwi-International House of Pancakes e-Homestead, eyayisakuba yidolophu yesinyithi kufutshane ne-Pittsburgh eye yabona ukwehla kwabantu abaninzi okoko i-Pittsburgh yamatye okusila yavalwa ngo-1970-80, ndathetha nabaxhasi abasibhozo, abathandathu kubo Iidemokhrasi, ezimbini zazo zichongwe njengabazimeleyo. Abahlanu babengamadoda, abathathu bengabafazi; Kwezi, zine zithi ziceba ukuvotela uClinton, abathathu bala ukundixelela ukuba bavotela bani, kwaye omnye uthe uvotela uTrump, kodwa wandibuza ngokungqalileyo ukuba ndingashicileli igama lakhe kuba ndiyoyika ukuthetha nantoni na ngegama xa kunokwenzeka into ibuye kum, kuba ubumelwane bam buyiDemokhrasi yonke.
Lilonke, abantu abasibhozo kwababini endadlan 'indlebe nabo ngokungacwangciswanga kwiindawo ezininzi zasePittsburgh bathi bavotela uTrump. Ngelixa umphezulu, oko kungavakali ngathi yindawo ephumeleleyo kuTrump, ngokunikwa ngokwesiko laseDemokhrasi kwezi ndawo, ukuva ukuba umntu omnye kwabane wabavoti wasondela ngokungahleliwe ngokuqinisekileyo wayemvotela.
Ngapha koko, uhlobo lwezimvo ezithile-izimvo malunga nabaxhasi boLungiso lweSibini lwesini sikaTrump, umzekelo-zikwathethile ukuba kunokubakho iipokotho ezintsha zenkxaso kumaRiphabhlikhi apha eNtshona Pennsylvania anokuvelisa isimanga ngoMhla woNyulo kwimeko apho ivoti nganye uya kubala. Ikwaphawuleka nangakumbi ukuba intetho yayisenziwa ngabavoti abakholelwa ukuba amajelo eendaba acalucalula uTrump.
Kwi-Bar kaSilky eBloomfield, indawo yase-Italiya, ndithethe namadoda amabini ngeyure yokonwaba, bobabini baceba ukuvotela uTrump, kwaye bobabini, njengendoda e-IHOP, benqabile ukuba ndisebenzise amagama abo apheleleyo.
Bobabini bazichonge njengabaLibertarians kunye nabaxhasi boLungiso lwesiBini, kwaye bathi bangabazimeleyo ababhalisiweyo.
UScott, injineli, i-36, uthe wayenentobeko malunga nokuvotela uTrump oye wanyanzeliswa kukhetho lukaMike Pence njengeqabane elisebenzayo.
Ukuba uTrump wayekhethe [umntu] ngaphandle kukaPence andinakumvotela, utshilo uScott. UPence unokuyibuyisela iTrump ngaphakathi.
Wathetha ngento ayibonayo njengothatho-ndaba kumajelo eendaba nxamnye noTrump njengokumkhulula emsebenzini nokumqhubela ekubeni axhase umgqatswa. Akakholelwa ukuba uTrump ngumkhethe okanye uninzi lwabaxhasi bakhe.
Iphulo lokunyelisa ngokuchasene neTrump, utshilo uScott. Abantu bahlala bechonga ngokwesini nangobuhlanga kunye nephulo lokunyelisa lidlala kuloo nto.
UJustin, oneminyaka engama-37, osebenza kubudlelwane boluntu kwiYunivesithi yaseCarnegie-Mellon, uthe uza kuvotela uTrump ngamandla enkxaso kaTrump yamalungelo abanini bempu. Wongeze ukuba unabahlobo abaninzi kuluntu olufanasini nabo abaza kuvotela uTrump.
Ndinomhlobo osisitabane, okhetha ukukhetha, oxhasa uhlengahlengiso lwesiBini oLungelayo ukuvotela uTrump, utshilo.
KwiNduli yeSquirrel, indawo yasePittsburgh yamaJuda apho uClinton ebethetha khona kwiiveki ezimbini ezidlulileyo, uninzi lwabavoti abalishumi elinababini endithethe nabo baceba ukuvotela uClinton.
Kwindlu yePizza yaseMineo, uKate Schouten, 34, umcebisi kulawulo, wavakalisa uninzi lwengingqi umbono. Abantu emsebenzini, abantu abancinci abebengacwangcisi ukuvota ngaphambili… baziva kubalulekile ukuvotela uHillary, utshilo, esithi, andikaboni zimpawu zikaTrump apha.
Kodwa nakwiNduli ye-squirrel, amavolontiya amaninzi avotela iTump.
Ndothuswa kukungakhathali kukaHillary kwezokhuseleko, utshilo u-Aaron Dyer, 56, igqwetha. Uye wongeza ukuba ufumanisa ukuba uTrump ubhenela kuba ungusomashishini. Ukuphendula ngezithintelo zemali kunye nemfuno yokuhlangabezana nohlahlo-lwabiwo mali kubalulekile.
Xa ndabona ukwesaba kweendaba ezikhululekileyo, ndazi ukuba [uTrump] wayengumfana ofanelekileyo, utshilo uSteve Humberfeld, 49, injineli yesoftware eyayisela i-squirrel Hill Café.
Kunyaka ophelileyo, phantse i-100,000 iidemokhrasi zasePennsylvania ziye zaba yiRiphabhlikhi —Ngokuphindaphinda kabini inani lamaRiphabhlikhi aye aba ngamaDemokhrasi — nangaphezulu kwabavoti abatsha abangama-243,000 abazimanye nePennsylvania Republican Party.
Ngenxa yokunyuka kwevoti yaseBrexit ngokumangalisa abantu baseYurophu, mhlawumbi ukunyuka kwabantu abaninzi basePennsylvania bavuka kwiindawo zokuvota.
UDonald Trump ungene evela ngaphandle, ethetha ingqondo yakhe, wajika yonke into wayijongisa ezantsi, utshilo uJoe Heatherington, 55, ongumhlali wase squirrel Hill ongaphangeliyo. Andinanto nxamnye noNksk Clinton, kodwa iminyaka engama-30 yanele. Ukuba wayefuna ukutshintsha into, wayenethuba.
Masiyiqengqe idayisi, kwaye siyathemba ukuba ayizukuphuma njengevumba elikhulu.
