Mainstream Politics in the largest Democracy in this globe used to be across the aisle, cutting through ideological divided and getting the job done. Today, the fringe has become the mainstream - Or is it the other way around ?? A huge Question mark by Mumbai Multimedia Studio on today's political scenario where no place of people verdicts and right.. The party’s acceptance of Trump’s false claims of voter fraud don’t fore tell well for its prospects now that he’s on spree the day armed fascists stormed the US Capitol, broke the doors and windows, entered the house chamber, where there was an armed standoff.
All that, by the way, was abetted and incited by the President and his key political allies. Is that a sentence or two you thought you’d ever read? This is the coup - we at Multimedia studio warned you about. Don’t read that within the way of horn-tooting. Many others did, too — and if you’re half way thoughtful, you saw it coming even as very much like we did. Still, we would like to put a number of those warnings during a little context — so I can explain what this coup means, what happens next. Here are the factors we tried to warn you about. We warned you that there was getting to be a coup. We warned you that Trump was getting to double down on his coup — all the thanks to the bitter end. We warned you that as Trump’s soft coup failed, he would resort to a tough coup. Meaning that as a judicial, legal, political coup failed, he would attempt to get the military involved, and if that failed, he would attempt to simply rouse his army of yank Idiots to violence. We warned you that each one that might happen almost inevitably. Why? Because Trump is an authoritarian, and he can’t backtrack. Backing down is showing weakness, which is that the one thing an authoritarian can’t do. Not just psychologically — but so as to stay their movement alive, they need to continue doubling down, committing harder and more frequent and more outrageous transgressions, for his or her movement to travel on being committed to them, to the goal of upending democracy, to believe that they will cause the apocalyptic end they desire.
And finally, we too warned you that Trump would take his coup all the thanks to the bitter end albeit he knew it couldn’t possibly be won. Why? Because there was a consolation prize well worth the winning. Weakening democracy, corroding its norms, shattering its values, disrupting its codes and rules. Dealing it a fatal enough blow, at least, to let it bleed out. Then maybe next time, the seizure of power would achieve success. Even an attempted coup was getting to be a consolation prize worth winning, because it might keep Trumpism alive. All those resentments would continue burning. “They stole the election from us!” “They rigged it!” “Stop the steal!” “Make America Great Again!” All that might continue festering - which may be a very, very juicy consolation prize. Because if you can’t win power, then a minimum of you'll keep your movement alive, growing in resentment and fury and violence. If you will have the house of democracy — then maybe you can burn it down so nobody else can have it. And all that brings me to the meaning of this coup. What is it?
You’d be quite correct to ascertain it as a sort of Reichstag Fire. American political pundits are soft-pedalling, but the reality of what happened today is as awful because it is important to mention as clearly because it are often said. Armed fascists stormed the Washington. Their goal was to interrupt the peaceful transfer of power. They knew they couldn’t seize power, probably, but what they might do was intimidate, bully, frighten & Terrorize. This was an act of terrorism. But not just any quite terrorism. It wasn’t two sad fat guys in their underwear looking up bombs on the web - it had been the President and his key allies seemingly inciting and fomenting a violent attack on their own government - it had been thousands of their most fanatical supporters — many organized into paramilitaries — arming themselves, with the aim of doing violence so as to bring the peaceful transfer of power to a halt, to whatever extent they might. This was something new in America. What looks like state-sponsored violence — or a minimum of state-licensed violence, effectively encouraged from the top of state himself, to society’s very own state. that's an act thus far outside the norm of politics there's not an honest word for it. what's it called when a head of state essentially asks fascist paramilitaries to commit acts of terrorism against the government?
Sedition, maybe. Treason, perhaps. It’s something remarkably on the brink of war. Yes, really. plow ahead and believe it, and if you'll find a far better word for “a President inciting fascists to commit terrorism so as to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power,” plow ahead and let me know. So how should a thoughtful person see all this? Trump is doubling down on his coup once more. First the judicial coup failed, then the legislative one did, then the military option failed. All of these institutions rejected Trump’s attacks on democracy — which isn’t cause to celebrate them, by the way, that’s the smallest amount we should always expect from them. And now Trump seems to possess resorted to what you would possibly call, if you wanted to be polite, mob violence, and if you wanted to be accurate, terrorism. How far will Trump go? He’s getting to keep going until he faces consequences. That’s another point I’ve tried to hammer home. The Dems have this foolish concept making nice with fascists is how a society heals. Is that looking remotely accurate right about now? See any healing going on? Did holding out the peace offering pacify those fascists — or did it make them sneer and laugh and say “these idiots are weak! we will escape with whatever we want!”…and find yourself with them storming the Capitol?
The Dems need to punish this transgression, swiftly and severely, alternatively American democracy is simply a punchline for the world’s comedians. meaning holding Trump accountable — and charging all the “protestors,” sorry, fascists, not just with trespassing, but something far more punitive, whether terrorism or sedition. But even that doesn’t solve the matter. Because albeit Trump faces consequences, then do the fascists who stormed the Capitol, the damage is now done. The damage to what? Remember once I said that the purpose of the coup was the consolation of prize of keeping Trumpism alive? That damage. this is often a Reichstag Fire moment, it'll survive in Trumpists’ minds, it'll solidify and bond the movement together, it'll allow them to know that they don’t even need to pretend to have an interest in democracy. That they will support — and even enact — outright violence. With this attempted coup, Trump has effectively licensed ongoing acts of terror by his most fanatical supporters. He’s basically said to them: “We didn’t lose the election. And we’re getting to teach them the hard way. Sure, invade the Capitol if you would like. The gloves are off now.” Let me put that differently, because I feel I’m struggling to form my point clearly. When coup attempts just like the one that happened in America happen in failed states, what follows them? Coup attempts that are “failures” within the most blatant sense — but succeed at the deeper work of destabilizing democracy, uprooting norms of peace, justice, truth, and decency? Well, what tends to follow are some things like this. Those fascist paramilitaries, knowing that they need the outgoing head of state’s explicit support and implicit license, continue doing violence. In other words, the failed coup only marks the start of a replacement pattern of violence. What do the fascists then attack? All the institutions of civil society. They magnify courtrooms. They hold politicians hostage. They assassinate judges. They kidnap intellectuals. They invade schools. They occupy local governments. Society endures a wave of terrorism after failed coup attempts just like the one America just had.
A failed coup may be a quite phase change. it's sort of a glacier melting or an ocean boiling. It signals the start of a replacement introduce a society’s story. A chapter, usually, of escalating violence from extremists, who have now given up entirely on using political ends to accomplish their fanatical means, then they resort to increasing levels of brutality. Terrorism of all types usually ensues, from, again, assassinations to bombings to kidnappings then on. That is, I think, what's starting to happen in America. These fascist are normalized by white American culture for therefore long — seen as something like cute little pit bull attack dogs — that those very white Americans did not see the danger they were in. The hounds of ruin and chaos were close to activate the family which bred them, oblivious to their wild appetites. Fascists aren't cute little house pets — which is what white American culture made them bent be, when, for instance, the NYT profiled neo-Nazis as friendly neighbours nearby, when Jake Tapper had Nazis on his show to “debate” with (hey, is exterminating my whole quite people a matter of debate? Oh, cool!!).
White American culture made this monster. and therefore the monster has now turned thereon. I say that because I even have seen this happen elsewhere. within the Islamic world, too, for a time, being a hard-right fanatic was something that was culturally tolerated, cool, dangerous, seductive, even — a bit like being a fascist in America was and has been. What happened? Just an equivalent thing that's happening to America. The fascists bit through their leash, and turned on those that made them. They attacked the very societies which had, foolishly, normalized and even been fascinated with them. The fascists then vied for political power. And often, they failed. once they failed, there was a coup attempt that didn’t succeed. And then is when the Islamic world as Americans consider it really began: an area of everyday violence, where getting to the market are often something you don’t survive, an area synonymous with terrorism and brutality, because politics don’t work anymore. That is the type of place America risks becoming now. that's the type of place Trump wants it to become. How does Trump win — albeit he loses both the election, and therefore the coup? If he convinces his most hardcore followers that violence will work where politics hasn’t. And if he convinces the remainder that that violence are some things to tolerate, turn a blind eye to, shrug at. That is a really, very real possibility. Because the troubling fact is that a majority of yank whites still back Trump. You and that i could also be horrified by today’s events. But is that the average American White, who backs Trump still? What do they feel watching their TVs? Maybe they’re shaking their heads — but is there some a part of them, deep down, that thinks: “Well, if politics doesn’t work, if they steal the elections from us, then what choice can we have?” Bang! There goes a democracy.
The point of today was very, very simple, as simple because it is chilling all around, if you actually know it had been Trump saying to his fanatics and fools the subsequent message, in not-so-subtle, barely hidden code: “Politics has failed". There’s only way left to us, and that’s violence. So plow ahead and do what you've got to. Nudge-nudge, wink-wink. I’ll pretend to worry, after you’ve done it, and you pretend such as you don’t hear me, OK? And together, through this charade, we’ll terrorize into submission the society we couldn’t convert democratically. ”Today was the day Trump finally admitted he lost — within the only way he ever would or could. it had been the day he licensed his movement to far beyond what they're already familiar with — casual hate, demonization, bigotry, scapegoating, racism — and eventually step into the wilderness of violence and therefore the badlands of brutality. Politics didn’t work, Trump shrugged. Guess you’re getting to need to do things the hard way. Just be peaceful with those guns which hate, OK? Wink-wink! This is that the precise moment at which societies usually entire a downward spiral of terrorist violence. There are reasons — even more grim ones — to believe which will probably be the case in America. Did you see those protestors being arrested swiftly? Charged on the spot? I didn’t. Did you hear leading Republicans begging Trump (LOL) to “call it off”? I did. And guess what? once you have the facility to call it off, you furthermore may have the facility to show it on. Trump might not be President anymore. But during a way, what today was about was this. Having a special, and sometimes even more dangerous, quite power. the facility to brutalize, storm, weaken, terrorize. Today was the day President Trump finally became Ayatollah Trump, leading his very own American Taliban, American ISIS, towards the Promised Land. All that they had to try to to, he told them, in not numerous words, was become the sword, since the pen and therefore the word had failed.…
