The 2024 U.S. presidential election entered the final sprint stage. Democratic candidate Harris and Republican candidate Trump just experienced a TV debate, and it seems that there will be no second game; that is, candidates' face -to -face confrontationIt may have ended, but the work of competing for supporters is still in full swing.This year's particularly interesting phenomenon is that there are large -scale inverted phenomena in the United States two -party camps, that is, among the supporters of democracy and Republican parties, there are many shift to support the original opponent. The key is that there are many heavyweights in it. They bring them.It is difficult to accurately estimate in the short term.
On the Democratic Party, the descendants of the Kennedy family are very influential. After giving up the election, Robert Kennedy, who has announced the independent election, publicly supports the Republican Party Trump, at least deviating from him to do it.President and Minister's Democratic Uncle and Father's position.
In addition, in the US economy and science and technology community, the Silicon Valley technology companies that once supported the Democratic Party have turned to the Democratic Party, which also caused a headache for the Democratic Party.Ri Erisen, Sequoia Capital Partner Sean Macquel, etc., the most influential is the social media company X boss Musk and Facebook president Zuckerberg.Considering the huge influence of the rich financial resources of the two and their social media, it is difficult for the Democratic Party to take it lightly and ignore this change.
On the Republican side, the most important character is former vice president Dick Cheney.The two vice presidents who had real power during the Bush period had held important positions in the Republican government many times.Instead of supporting the influence of the Democratic Party, he is by no means comparable to general politicians.Perhaps under the influence of Cheney, the two generations of father -son and son and former vice president Pence have publicly stated that they have not supported Trump, although they have not directly supported Harris.
The emergence ofThe "Republican Support Harris" initiative means that the division of the Republican Party and the dissatisfaction with Trump have reached a very serious level.There are dozens of important Republicans and more than 200 Republican staff in the initiative, and they have publicly announced their support for Harris.Here, the ministers are former Minister of Defense Hagel, former Minister of Transport Lahud, former White House press secretary Grosham, as well as the former assistant of McCain and Romney in the party.
No one can know what the phenomenon of these inverted phenomena will have, which has a greater impact on which party in the two parties.What makes Musk and Zuckerberg, who had to "fight in the cage" at the same time to support Trump at the same time?What made Trump's predecessor or deputy away from him?Although in US politics, the phenomenon of inversion is not unique this year, and the different election years are only different, but the problems reflected this year seem to be even more obvious.
I love him as fierce as those who hate him
The direct reason for this inverted phenomenon is probably the impact of politicians such as Trump.Although political amateur Trump has been the president in the United States, he is still the alternative alternative political figure.His anti -building concept, populist position, high -profile and reckless style of acting, etc., are unacceptable in politics.Do not recognize the results of the election in China, and has touched the foundation of the US democratic politics; he disdains the alliance system abroad and destroys the position of US hegemony, so that the entire Republican Party has moved towards his unwillingness to go under his embarrassment.No wonder many elders in the party strive to call for cutting Trump, even if they lose the highest administrative power in the short term.
Of course, this conservative liberal color on Trump and the practice that does not follow the conventional cards also makes many Americans who are tired of traditional politics in his arms.The whirlwind brought by the batch of American emerging politicians represented by Trump may come to an end after the election.It is also fierce and decisive.
The key cause ofThe phenomenon of reversal should be the severity of the problems encountered in the United States and the anxiety caused by it.The problem industry caused by the great changes has swept the world. Of course, the United States, as a superpowers, is no exception. Perhaps the problem is even more due to greater responsibilities.The long -standing problems such as high inflation, industrial hollowing, the increase in the gap between the rich and the poor, and the racial discrimination of gender and racial discrimination have seriously dragged down the healthy development of the US economy and society.Although it is better than many countries in the world, the US dollar blood transfusion and the support of the alliance system that the United States depends on it only delay its problems, not solve.
Of course, US political senior management also realizes this problem, but the solutions given by the two parties are different.For example, the Democratic Party hopes to curb the wealth growth of the rich to help the middle class rejuvenate; the Republican Party hopes to give the rich more opportunities to drive them to employment.The Democratic Party also hopes to increase domestic investment to solve the problem of industrial rejuvenation, while the Republican Party hopes to prevent foreign capital to protect the survival of the country.The Democratic Party also hopes to deal with the challenges of the world's opponents with allies, while the Republican Party hopes to maintain its own strength in an isolated way.The differences between this and so on, so that all Americans, especially politicians who care about the destiny of the country, are constantly thinking about tangled and even changing the door.Which method should I choose to deal with the crisis in front of me?After all, this crisis has not been encountered after World War II, and no one can guarantee that the two parties' solutions must be effective.
The phenomenon of the left and right swing of US politics has always been there, and it is becoming increasingly serious, and this happens less in European countries in the place of democracy.This has a fundamental relationship with the US political model and the belief system.The two parties in the United States have always been registered for party members before each election. Everyone can re -choose their own party ownership at this time. Sometimes, even if they choose, they can change during voting.This phenomenon is abound in the voting of ordinary voters in the United States and the voting of the two houses.
The political philosophy of the two parties in the United States has never been so clear and unreasonable. Starting from the civil war, the Democratic Party, who was born in the south, had presented free trade because of having more plantations.With capital, I hope to be open to the outside world.Swinging and blurry like this has always been normalized in American politics, which has caused political parties to be in a state of changing concepts and policies, which also makes the so -called political party's belief system more unable to talk about it.
This inverted phenomenon in American politics does not always have a unified view.Some people think that this is an obvious disadvantage and harm to the serious stability of politics; others think that this may not be a disadvantage, because it provides sufficient flexibility and effectiveness.But everyone should try to answer a question: Is this political constant swing or adjustment, is it a future trend?
