Ndim, uBruce Springsteen.Ifoto nguBradley Kanaris / Getty Izithombe Igama lam ndinguBruce Springsteen, kwaye ngenye imini kungekudala, xa iifestile zemosque yakho zichithakele kwaye izindlu zesikhungu zilele eluthuthwini, xa isibhakabhaka singwevu ngothuli nolwandle luye lwaphakama ukuze luhlambe iindlela, xa iinkwenkwezi kunye nemivimbo iflegi yethu imele ucalucalulo kunye noloyiko, ndiza kuzibuza, ngaba ndingenza umohluko?
Kuye kwafuneka ndizijonge esipilini. Okubaluleke ngakumbi, kuye kwafuneka ndijonge abantwana bam, kwaye ndiqwalasele, ngokungathandekiyo, ilizwe abaya kulidla ilifa. Kwaye ndiyazibuza.
Ngaba ndingawenza umahluko? Ngaba ndenze konke endinokukwenza?
UMeryl Streep kunye nale ntetho ayenzileyo kwiGlobal Globes indenze ndacinga ngale nto.
Konke kulungile kwaye kulungile ukuba uMeryl Streep anike iintetho ezirhabaxa kumabonakude, kodwa ngaphandle kokuba ubamba isibonelelo somntu ngamnye kummeli webandla elikwilizwe lakhe elisebenza kunyulo lwaphakathi enyakeni ka-2018- eNew York, California, Connecticut, andiyenzi ' Andazi apho ahlala khona.
Ekupheleni kosuku, iphumeze ntoni loo ntetho yakhe? Abantu abaninzi bathi, Owu, mkhulu umsebenzi, Meryl! Abantu abaninzi bamphulula emqolo, babhala indlela ayemhle ngayo kwaye bathi, Uyahamba, ntombazana! Kodwa kwakungathethi nto kwaphela ngokuphumelela nakuphi na unyulo, kukhutshwa nabani na ukuba aye kuvota, atshintshe naziphi na iingqondo. Ndiyathandabuza ukuba yade yenza umntu omnye ukuba abhalisele ukuvota, kwaye ayikhange ibangele mntu ukuba anikele kwiphulo lonyulo lwengqungquthela.
Ngaphandle kokuba uyayixhasa ngento ethile ayenzileyo, ngakumbi ejolise kwi-midterms, amagama akhe ayazenzela nje, uyazincoma ngomlilo we-liberal. Uxolo, Meryl. Yile nto siyenzayo thina bathandi benkululeko: sibeka iziqhushumbisi kumatheko ethu emva kwezindlu.
Ndibheja uzive umkhulu kwaye unelunda ngawe xa uphinde uthumela intetho kaMeryl kwiphepha lakho likaFacebook. Ndiyabheja ucinga, Kulungile, ndenze nje umahluko! Awuzange. Yonke into oyenzileyo yayikukwenza ukuba abahlobo bakho bahambe, Owu, hooray kwicala lethu, ucinga ngathi, nathi!
Kwaye ndaqonda, ewe, yile nto kanye Ndiye yenziwe. Ndifumana uxinzelelo lokuthetha izinto ezithile ezichasene neTrump ukusuka kwinqanaba lase-Australia. Oko kuya kumbonisa. Oko kuya kuchaphazela unyulo lwaphakathi enyangeni ngokuqinisekileyo! Mfana, ndaphuma ndaya kwilungu apho, ndabeka umngcipheko.
Ke ndiyabuza kwakhona: Ngaba ndingenza umahluko kunyulo oludlulileyo? Abanye abantu bacinga ukuba ndingomnye wabantu abambalwa abanokuba nakho.
UTrump uphumelele iWisconsin malunga neevoti ezingama-22,000. Shit, Ngama-22,000 ? Ndithengise ikopi ye-1 yezigidi Ukuchukumisa Komntu— ngaphandle kwe-E Street Band-kwaye andinako ukuyimela loo rekhodi.
Kucetyisiwe ukuba kwiiveki neenyanga ezikhokelela kunyulo, bekufanele ukuba ndilandele uTrump ejikeleze i-rally ukuya kwi-rally, ngakumbi ngo-Septemba nango-Okthobha xa wayebetha ilizwe laseRust Belt. Emva koko, abo bafanele ukuba ngabantu bam, nabo.
Uyazi, khawufane ucinge: kanye njengokuba wayephakama eyokuthetha, ndandiphuma evenini kanye ngaphandle kwendawo, ndinyuke ndiye emva kwepiki okanye into ethile, ndize ndidlale iingoma ezimbalwa. Ukuba bendidlala ngaphesheya kwesitrato ukusuka kwirali, kwangaxeshanye, undixelela ngekhe bafulathele Iorenji eNkulu— yiloo nto uGarry Tallent ambiza ngayo, ungumlandeli we-Mets osuka ngasemva-kwaye wagidima waya naphina apho bendiye khona?
Khawufan 'ucinge ukuba bendiyenzile iiveki ezimbini okanye ezintathu. Ukuba bendinoBulungisa intaka yenja indoda! Ngendibile abaphulaphuli bakhe, ndebela bonke abasebenzi beTV-awucingi ukuba ngekhe bangxamele kum, kwaye bafuna ukuva uluvo lwam ngendoda enkulu? Andizukuphumelela kuphela abanye babaxhasi bakhe, kodwa uTrump phantse ngokuqinisekileyo ngelinye ixesha ebeya kuza emva kwam, kwaye bekuya kuba kubi kangakanani kuye? Ngaba ucinga ukuba umphathi omtsha angayihlasela eyokuqala kwaye aphume nayo?
Akakuthandi ukuphakanyiswa, uyazi yena ngewayeze emva kwam. Ngaba unokucinga ukuba angahlasela uBruce Springsteen? Ngaphandle kokwenza izibalo, kuyo loo nto ndedwa kusenokwenzeka ukuba uphulukene neevoti ezaneleyo zokuphulukana naye unyulo.
Ngaba bekunokuba nzima kangakanani kum ukuyeka iiveki ezintathu okanye ezine zobomi bam ukuwa okudlulileyo okanye ihlobo, ndimlandele kwiveni ukusuka rally ukuya rally? 
Shit, ndakhankasela u-Obama ngo-2012… bekuza kwenzeka ntoni kuTrump ukuba bendikhe ndadlala ngaphandle kweentlanganiso zakhe kwiRust Belt?Ifoto: Getty
Makhe sithethe ngamanani. UTrump uphumelele iWisconsin malunga 22,000 iivoti . Michigan malunga 11,000 . Shit, Ngama-22,000 ? Ndithengise ikopi ye-1 yezigidi Ukuchukumisa Komntu— ngaphandle kwe-E Street Band-kwaye andinako ukuyimela loo rekhodi. Lishumi elinanye lamawaka ? Obo bubusuku bokuqala babaleka ubusuku obune kum.
Jonga, ukuba bendiyenzile loo nto-ukuba bendimlandele ukusuka kwi-rally ukuya kwi-rally, bendimi ebhentshini epakini ngaphesheya kwesitalato, ndidlale uKumbaya okanye ingoma ethile yokuzibulala kwikatala ye-acoustic emva koko ndinike izandi zokukhala kwizikhamera ezingama-800 ezazikhona -Ewe mna ngokupheleleyo Ndicinga ukuba ndingazivota ezo voti. Phakathi kwamajelo eendaba, kwaye uTrump wandicaphukisa ngenxa yeba iindudumo zakhe, i-shit, bendinokubafumana uninzi lwabo ngosuku lokuqala.
Ngoku eMantla Carolina umda wawuyi-180,000, kwaye ndiyazi ukuba kuvakala ngathi kuninzi, kodwa kuthekani ukuba ndibhalise uGarth Brooks kwaye, oh, andazi, uDarius Rucker? Owu, kwaye undixelela ukuba uDave Matthews ngekhe abonakalise? Ewe wayeya kuba nayo. Kwaye khumbula, i-180,000 ayikho nyani I-180,000-kuba uthatha enye kuTrump kwaye ubeke loo voti kwikholamu kaHillary, eneneni ibala njengezimbini. Nokuba besingakwazi ukufumana iindawo, besinokudlala kwiipaki. Njengamapolisa aza kuphazamisa uBruce Springsteen noDave Matthews ngokudlala epakini? Ewe, izakuthi yenzeke. Amapolisa aya kuma ngaphambili afake iiselfie.
Ngaba ndiyacinga ukuba bendisebenze iesile lam bendinokuthi nditshintshe iziphumo zonyulo? Andazi ukuba ndingathi ewe. Kodwa ndingatsho ingayiyo . Kwaye khawufane ucinge ukuba umntu ebethe kuwe, Thatha amanyathelo ngoku, kwaye ingayiyo ingatshintsha nokuba abantwana bakho bazokwazi na ukukhupha isisu ngokusemthethweni, ingayiyo iya kutshintsha nokuba abantwana bakho baya kuba nokhathalelo lwempilo, ikaka, ingayiyo iya kutshintsha nokuba abantwana bam baya kuba nayo iplanethi. Uya kuhamba, Ewe, esihogweni ewe. Ndizakuphosa ukubila kancinci, umsipha kunye nexesha ngasemva kwalonto ingayiyo .
Ke ndizijonga esipilini, kwaye ndiyabuza, ngaba ndingenza umohluko?
Kwaye ngoku ndiphendula ewe. Ndicinga ukuba ndinokuba nayo.
Ngoku, kungenxa yokuba wena ibunafumana Wadubula uHitler, oko akuthethi ukuba unetyala ngenxa yokuba ungakhange, akunjalo? Ndiyathetha, mhlawumbi i-5 yezigidi zamaJamani zazinokumbulala uHitler ngaxeshanye, kodwa asinakugweba ngamnye kubo, akunjalo?
Kwaye ngendlela, andicebisi ukuba sibulale nabani na! Olu luthelekiso-isifaniso. Okanye ngaba sisikweko? Noba yintoni. Kwaye andithelekisi uTrump noHitler, nokuba, hayi mhlekazi, ungazami ukuyixhoma loo nto kum. Ndizama nje ukwenza ingxelo malunga nokungasebenzi-kutheni kuyinto enkulu ukuba andenzanga konke endinokukwenza xa ndandingomnye wabambalwa abanokuthi benze umahluko?
Ndichithe ubomi bam ndizama ukubalisa ibali malunga nabantu baseMelika abazama ukwenza okuhle xa indlela elula ibiya kuba kukwenza okubi, okanye ukungenzi nto. Kodwa ngaba yayingamagama nje lawo?
Ndicinga ukuba le yimpendulo.
Ndichithe ubomi bam ndizama ukubalisa ibali malunga nabantu baseMelika abazama ukwenza okuhle xa indlela elula ibiya kuba kukwenza okubi, okanye ukungenzi nto; malunga neMelika apho wonke umntu wayenguKumkani, iMelika eyayichazwa ngamadoda nabafazi abasebenzayo, hayi ii-oligarchs zayo; iMelika apho abantwana bakho banokukujonga bathi, ngamehlo abo, Ngaba ubomi bethu buya kuba simahla njengobakho, tata? Ngaba siya kuba namalungelo afanayo kunye nokukhetha njengawe, ngaba siya kuba nomoya ococekileyo wokuphefumla? Utata, ngaba siya kuba nakho ukujonga izityebi emehlweni kwaye sithi, 'Unokuba ngaphezulu kunathi, kodwa awunawo amalungelo ngaphezu kwethu.'
Ndixelele ibali laseMelika apho ubuze khona imibuzo, kwaye nokuba awuzange ufumane iimpendulo, ungcono ngokubuza.
Kodwa ngaba lawo ngamazwi nje? Ngaba ngamagama nje andenze ukuba ndibe liwaka lezigidi ngezigidi, okanye ndiyathetha? Xa ilizwe lam lalindibiza ukuba ndikhonze, ngaba ndandikhenketho lwencwadi? Xa ilizwe lam lalindibiza ukuba ndikhonze, ndithe, ndibhale eminye imibongo, ndonwabisa abanye abantu, ndenza isandi okanye ezimbini, khange zanele?
Ke mhlawumbi, mhlawumbi, ndiye ndanyuka. Nantsi ke into endiyicingayo: Unyulo lwaphakathi enyakeni luka-2018 luza kuba lapha ngaphandle kwexesha. Elona thuba lokutshintsha okwenyani kukuba sivote ngakumbi kwiidemokhrasi, kwaye silawule ulawulo lweNdlu yabaMeli.
Kulungile. ukuba le nto ayinamsebenzi kuwe, ngokwenene, kodwa ukuba kunjalo yenza , nokuba udlala amabala emidlalo okanye iivenkile zekofu, kufuneka usebenzise amandla akho ukwenza ukuba iiDemokhrasi zikhethwe kunyaka ozayo- KONYAKA Olandelayo! Yiyo yonke into ebalulekileyo. Yiyo yonke into ebalulekileyo . Ukufumana iziphumo kwi-midterms kuthetha ngaphezulu kwazo zonke izikhalazo emhlabeni, ngaphezulu kwazo zonke izithuba ezinomsindo zeFacebook, ngaphezulu kwazo zonke iiposti zebhlog ezinomsindo nezonyelisayo. Amandongomane kunye neebholithi zokwenza ukuba abantu babenolwazi ngabagqatswa babo, ukunyusa imali yabo bagqatswa, nokwenza abantu babhaliswe nakwiipolitiki… yeyona nto ibalulekileyo, kuba yonke into, ndiyathetha yonke into , utshintsho ukuba iNdlu iyabhabha.
Kungoko ndizibophezelayo, namhlanje, ukwenza umahluko. 
Kuthekani ukuba ndisebenzise amandla am eenkwenkwezi ukuphembelela unyulo lwaphakathi enyakeni ka-2018 endaweni yokukuqinisekisa ukuba uthenge irekhodi lam elitsha? Yima, le yiMelika, andinakuzenza zombini?U-Ilya S. Savenok wemifanekiso ka-Getty
Okokuqala nokuphambili, oko kuthetha ukunyula iiDemokhrasi kwingqungquthela kwi-2018 midterms. Ke, kwiinyanga ezintandathu ezikhokelela kunyulo luka-2018- inokuba ziinyanga nje ezintathu okanye ezine, khange ndiqinisekise ngohambo lokundwendwela okwangoku-ndizakudlala imiboniso emininzi kangangoko, ngenjongo ecacileyo yokwenza konke endinako Ukunyula abaDemokhrasi kwinkomfa ka-2018. Ndiza kwazisa abagqatswa ukusuka kwinqanaba, ukuqinisekisa ukuba wonke umntu oza ekhonsathini uyazi ukuba ngubani oza kuba semsebenzini kwisithili sabo, ebhalisa abavoti, aqinisekise ukuba abavoti bayawazi amalungelo abo okuvota, kwaye bafaka imali ngqo kwi ibhokisi kunye nezifuba zemfazwe zabo bonke abagqatswa bendibano.
Mamela, ukuba awukhathali, kulungile. Andikugxeki ukuba awukhathali. Lilizwe lasimahla, ukusukela namhlanje, kunjalo, kwaye lilungelo lakho elo. Kwaye ukuba uyayixhasa iTrump okanye iRiphabhlikhi, lelo lishishini lakho, nalo. Kodwa ukuba ufuna i- tshintsha, Sukuyenza yonke into enomsindo malunga nokuqhubekayo kwaye ungenzi nanye into ngayo. Musa ukuthumela into kuFacebook okanye uthethe into kudliwanondlebe, kwaye ufumane bonke abahlobo bakho behamba, Oo, ulungile! Qhubeka, mzalwana! kwaye ngandlela thile ucinga ukuba oko kwenza umahluko. Ayenzi njalo.
Ukucaphula uJohn Lennon: Ukuba uhamba uphethe imifanekiso kasihlalo Mao, Awuyi kuyenza naye nabani na. Yiba nguMao. Musa ukuthwala umfanekiso wakhe kuphela. Ndiyathetha, hayi ngokoqobo Mao, kodwa ufumana umbono.
Kungenxa yokuba ukuba andiyenzi le nto emva kwayo yonke loo ndoda isebenza kwaye ndizalelwe e-USA izinto endizenzayo amashumi eminyaka kunye namashumi eminyaka, ubomi bam bonke ndingavula iseti yam noMustang Sally, ndivale iseti yam I-Mustang Sally, kwaye phakathi kokudlala iiyure ezintathu ezinesiqingatha ze-Mustang Sally, emva koko uphume wenze ezine ze-Mustang Sally.
Mamela, anditsho ukuba wonke umntu othatha ikatala kufuneka abeke kwiChé beret kwaye alwe namandla. Ndiyinyani loo nto. U-Mustang Sally, ngapha koko, yingoma ye-helluva.
Kodwa musa ukunxiba izihlangu zikaWoody Guthrie ngaphandle kokuba ulungele ukuhamba ekhondweni lakhe.
Kufuneka ndibalekile. Mna noSteven omncinci sizama ukweyisela uJann ukuba abeke uG. Smith kwiHolo yoDumo.
Enkosi ngokumamela.
Uthando,
UBruce *
