NgoJanuwari 20, uMengameli okhethiwe uJoe Biden wafungiswa njengoMengameli wama-46 wase-United States phakathi kokuphepha okuqinile yiNational Guard. Eminyakeni emine edlule, kwavela amafulegi abomvu emikhakheni eyahlukene e-US, kusukela ekulawulweni kobhubhane, umnotho, kuya ezindabeni zobuhlanga kanye nezokuxhumana. Indawo lapho abalandeli bakaTrump behlasela iCapitol Hill ngoJanuwari 6 yaqokomisa ukuhlukana okujulile okuqhubekayo kwezepolitiki zase-US, futhi yaveza ngokugcwele iqiniso lomphakathi wase-US odabukile.
Umphakathi wase-US ulahlekelwe yizindinganiso zawo. Njengoba uhlukile ngokobuzwe kanye nobuntu, kunzima ukwakha "ukubambisana ngokomoya" okuhlanganisa wonke umphakathi ukuze ubhekane nezinselele.
I-US, eyake yaba “yimbiza encibilikayo” yamaqembu ahlukene abokufika futhi eqaphela ukubusa kwabantu abamhlophe kanye nobuKristu, manje igcwele isiko elihlanganisa izinto eziningi eligcizelela ulimi lwabokufika, inkolo kanye namasiko abo.
“Ukuhlukahluka kwezindinganiso kanye nokuphila ndawonye ngokuvumelanayo,” isici sezenhlalo sase-US, sibonisa ukungqubuzana okukhulu phakathi kwezindinganiso ngenxa yokuhlukana kwezinhlanga ezahlukene.
Ukufaneleka koMthethosisekelo wase-US, okuyisisekelo sesimiso sezombusazwe saseMelika, kuyaphikiswana ngamaqembu amaningi ezinhlanga njengoba wadalwa kakhulu ngabanikazi bezigqila kanye nabantu abamhlophe.
UTrump, okhuthaza ukubusa kwabamhlophe kanye nokubusa kobuKristu, uhlale eqinisa izingxabano phakathi kwabantu abamhlophe kanye namanye amaqembu ezinhlanga ezindaweni zokufuduka kanye nezinqubomgomo zobuhlanga.
Uma kubhekwa la maqiniso, ukwakhiwa kabusha kwezindinganiso eziningi ezihlelwe uhulumeni omusha wase-US kuzovinjelwa nakanjani amaqembu amhlophe abusayo, okwenza kube nzima ukufeza ukwakha kabusha umphefumulo waseMelika.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuhlukana komphakathi wase-US kanye nokuncipha kweqembu labantu abahola imali ephakathi kubangele imizwa yokungathandi abantu abaphezulu kanye neyokulwa nohlelo.
Iqembu labantu abahola imali ephakathi nendawo, eliyinani elikhulu labantu base-US, liyisici esibalulekile ekuzinzeni komphakathi e-US. Kodwa-ke, iningi labantu abahola imali ephakathi nendawo seliphenduke abantu abahola imali ephansi.
Ukusatshalaliswa kwengcebo ngokungalingani lapho ingxenye encane kakhulu yamaMelika inengxenye enkulu kakhulu yengcebo kuye kwaholela ekunganelisekeni okukhulu kwamaMelika avamile maqondana nezikhulu zezombusazwe kanye nezinhlelo zamanje, kwagcwalisa umphakathi wase-US ngobutha, ukwanda kobuzwe kanye nokuqagela kwezepolitiki.
Kusukela ekupheleni kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi, ukungezwani phakathi kwamaqembu eDemocratic kanye namaRiphabhulikhi ezindabeni ezinkulu ezihilela umshwalense wezokwelapha, intela, ukufuduka kanye nezokuxhumana kuye kwaqhubeka nokukhula.
Ukushintshana kwamandla akuphelelanga nje ekuqhubekiseleni phambili inqubo yokubuyisana kwezepolitiki, kodwa futhi kulethe umbuthano omubi weqembu elibili eliphazamisa umsebenzi womunye nomunye.
Womabili amaqembu abhekene nokwanda kwamaqembu ashisekela ezombusazwe kanye nokwehla kwamaqembu asekelayo. Izepolitiki ezinjalo ezisekelayo azikhathaleli inhlalakahle yabantu, kodwa seziyithuluzi lokukhulisa izingxabano zomphakathi. Esimweni sezepolitiki esihlukene kakhulu nesinobuthi, sekunzima kakhulu kuhulumeni omusha wase-US ukusebenzisa noma yiziphi izinqubomgomo ezinkulu.
Uhulumeni kaTrump uye wandisa kakhulu ifa lezepolitiki elihlukanisa umphakathi wase-US futhi lenza kube nzima kakhulu kuhulumeni omusha ukwenza izinguquko.
Ngokubeka imingcele yokufuduka kwabantu, kanye nokukhuthaza ukubusa kwabamhlophe, ukuvikelwa kwezohwebo, kanye nokungavikeleki kwezilwane ngesikhathi sobhubhane lwe-COVID-19, uhulumeni kaTrump uholele ezingxabanweni zobuhlanga eziqinile, ukuqhubeka kokuxabana kwezigaba, ukulimala kwedumela lamazwe ngamazwe ase-US kanye nokudumazeka okuvela ezigulini ze-COVID-19 kuhulumeni wobumbano.
Okubi nakakhulu, ngaphambi kokushiya ihhovisi, uhulumeni kaTrump wethula izinqubomgomo ezahlukene ezingezinhle futhi wakhuthaza abalandeli ukuba baphikise imiphumela yokhetho, bafaka ubuthi endaweni ebusayo kahulumeni omusha.
Uma uhulumeni omusha obhekene nezinselelo eziningi ezinzima ekhaya nakwamanye amazwe ehluleka ukuphula ifa lenqubomgomo eliyingozi lomanduleli futhi athole imiphumela ethile yenqubomgomo ngokushesha okukhulu kungakapheli iminyaka emibili ephethe, uzoba nobunzima bokuhola iDemocratic Party ukuthi iwine ukhetho lwaphakathi nonyaka ka-2022 kanye nokhetho lukamongameli wase-US lwango-2024.
I-US isemgwaqweni lapho ushintsho lwamandla lunikeze ithuba lokulungisa izinqubomgomo ezibhubhisayo zikahulumeni kaTrump. Njengoba kunezinkinga ezinkulu neziqhubekayo kwezepolitiki nomphakathi wase-US, kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi "ukuwohloka kwezepolitiki" kwe-US kuzoqhubeka.
