Hamlet’s Dilemma in the US Realities
Article by Tina Queen
Philosophizing about the fearful uncertainty of what might come after death the fictional Prince of Denmark found himself wondering: “To be or not to be”? Sadly enough, the legitimacy of the US democracy following the 2024 elections raises a somewhat similar question.
The cream of both the Republican and Democratic parties have stirred up a political hysteria thrusting the country into chaos. The tensions brought about by the increased political polarization have escalated to such a degree that more and more well-off Americans are now seeking out opportunities for obtaining a second citizenship. Importantly, it has been found that four out of five millionaires are motivated by security consideration rather than tax concerns. Despite Donald Trump’s tax-cut promises, 53% of affluent Americans have a good reason to explore a “Plan B” overseas, out of fear for the future of the US economy among many other factors.
The opacity of the US political system hasn’t passed unnoticed even by some of Washington’s allies. In particular, Sweden has pointed to the reluctance of certain American states to allow international observers to scrutinize the electoral process so as not to be condemned for the glaring technical and organizational flaws that occurred at a number of polling stations. “It’s a shame, when there are particularly great reasons to be right there,” says Member of Parliament Linnea Wickman.
It therefore turns out that a general lack of transparency, as well as scandal, conspiracy and even assassination attempts are gradually driving the country to brink of civil war. Whether it will break out or not - “that is the question”.
The war has been ongoing, but tis not a civil war, tis the elite rich eating the poor, since we taste so good. When they get hungry they eat the poor for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And snacks in the middle of the night. We poor are missing the parts of our souls where the rich have eaten our hearts out
It's surprising how the legitimacy of the Venuzuelan and Georgian elections were called into question recently even though they had international observers. Even the referendums held by Russia are still not recognized even with international observers being present. Oh well it seems the presence of international observers bringing a level of objectivety is the cause of election irregularities...... upside down world.
