Last night we saw what no one ever thought possible, the mass media spread the note with the sensational title "Assault on the Capitol", as if it were a movie ...
Shortly before the US Congress met to certify the results of the presidential election (read officially recognizing Joe Biden's victory once and for all), still President Donald Trump asked his Vice President Mike Pence (who would preside over the act of certification) to do "whatever it takes" to give him victory, translating this into a direct order to break the law, even saying that otherwise "he would no longer like it." This was stated at a rally prior to the disastrous session that after being suspended by the irruption of Trump's followers was resumed and certified Biden's victory.
The results were immediate, four deaths, a woman by gunshot who died at the scene and three other people who were transferred to a hospital and lost their lives, 50 arrests, curfew for 15 days, the disabling of accounts of social networks of up to now President Trump and a real media storm with the immediate resignations of multiple White House officials.
We had seen what happened last night before, but always in countries badly called "third world", never in the bastion and pristine benchmark of democracy, land of the free. But not free to speak because today Facebook announced that it is indefinitely canceling Donald's account for inciting violence while the possibility of a political trial and the removal of the millionaire president who will soon in one way or another is being handled in the mass media. he will be "fired" (as he did on his reality TV show a few years ago).
Something curious, however, clearly jumps to the facts, the followers of the orange president (Donald) did not look very sane to say the least, one of them, in front of the mob, dressed in the style of the movie "BraveHearth" , with his face painted, his horns, no shirt, in short, a real character, while the others seemed taken from another movie, everything was appreciated (obviously) out of place, but, what gives us the most fabric to cut, It was that after inciting his followers with his message, Trump did not appear live again, as would be expected in a situation of this magnitude, (for example, FOX News had opened cameras and microphones for him), but uploaded a video to Twitter where he asked his followers to return home, although he claimed they were right because their election had been stolen, said video was removed by Twitter on the grounds that it contained unverified statements (not to mention false).
Total that from last night even movies are going to make the gringos, do not hesitate, we will see them soon on Netflix, where curiously, we will also be able to see the new film that the government of Mexico is cooking (whose immaculate leader already said that he is not going to go to Biden's inauguration), a biography of the «true caudillo» that will show us his tireless fight against the power mafia… to get to power. No joke, the money from the defunct trusts for culture and the arts will now be so that we can see the life of the fish in the glorious format of the seventh art.
I close with a doubt that I cannot get out of my head. Will we soon have the "honor" (or horror) of seeing the Mexican copy of the "Asalto al Capitolio"? He did a similar thing when he lost the 2006 presidential election to Calderon.
I ask this because what made the events of last night possible was the polarization of American society, those who follow their president swear with all their soul and with all their being that they are right and in this they do not differ much from Mexican society. Our first president, like his Anglo-Saxon counterpart, seems an expert in sowing discord, hatred and division between brothers with frank slander, brazen lies or half-truths that for the case are the same, "divide and conquer" is the maxim that applies to all lights.
We will see now how they apply it to Trump (the law, of course) and we hope that this whole situation will shed some light on what awaits us in 2021 when we hold elections and the (farce of) consultation on the revocation of mandate is carried out It is rumored (aloud) that the Tabasco who has never ever accepted a defeat will try at all costs to perpetuate himself in power, but the results in handling the health and economic crisis could prevent him from doing so. Let's see what Mexico says.
