The big day

in english •  7 years ago 

An approval rating among the American people of 45% - Barack Obama scored more than 70% - begins the first period of Donald J. Trump as president of the United States of America. On Friday, January 20, I followed the inauguration live with the secret hope that something would prevent Trump from swearing as president. No Hollywood-style plot appeared anywhere and only witnessed the first day of resistance by social organizations demonstrating on the streets of downtown Washington.

The streets of the capital became a battleground between protesters and police. Law enforcement officers could be seen with all their implements of protection and attack lashing out at groups of unarmed citizens. The riots were quashed with tear gas bombs, with blows and resulted in the arrest of dozens of demonstrators.

Can the masses have been wrong, which allowed someone undesirable to win? Or how much did Barack Obama fail so that Clinton, his successor, could not continue his Democratic legacy? Or how much did conservative and super-rich groups invest to get one of them, the most irreverent, to run for president? Where are these knights of immense fortunes moving the world on the podium where Donald Trump is taking protest with his hand over the bible held by Melanie? Billionaires need not show up, as they have not done before, with few exceptions. His work of four decades prior is culminated today: the power of money above all else. Protesting is Trump's tribute to investors, to those who never lose, to those who, like him, are exempt from taxes because they are intended for the majority.

All the threads that move the world of politics are not only political, they are essentially economic on the day of inauguration 2017. Maybe the protesters believe that it is about participating, revolting, rebelling. Of course the protests are not enough and welcome over the years, but the bond has closed around our necks and the majorities we ignore. The machinery to transform our idiosyncrasies, to alter our perceptions of the world adapting them to the interests of the billions, has been working for some time, quiet and constant not only in the United States but in the world, without our realizing it, Without which we can not avoid it.

On Saturday, January 21, the women are the ones who give the bill against the government of Donald Trump in The Women's March. One of the most vulnerable groups, the most vulnerable, has been.

The congregation in Washington to the call of representatives recognized in several areas. There are feminist consecrated women like Gloria Steinem, actresses like America Ferrara and Scarlett Johansson and women of foot calling to their fellows not to faint, to remain active in front of who has abused them with their words and their facts and that will cover their scarce rights since The presidency. The speeches are passionate and fiery on that cold morning, covered in Mexican pink caps, the "pussyhats." The phrases are blunt: "Neither Trump nor the government is the United States, we are the United States and we are here to stay."

The first and second days of protests, of struggle, of resistance to the triumphant return of the republican party to the US federal government with majorities in Congress and Senate ready to reverse everything favorable to those who have less, to repeal laws aimed at Protect the rights of minorities, and to completely adapt the governmental machinery to the interests of the few, of the .01% who own billions of dollars. Everything is prepared for the plutocratic elites to govern without masks because one of them is in command of the country, backed by wealthy fortunes never before satisfied or better represented.
