Since World War II, the United States has risen rapidly as an emerging nation and replaced the dominant position in postwar Europe. However, due to the short history of the United States, it has not formed its own unique Juche culture and common identity in the process of establishing hegemony, which has laid hidden dangers for the United States. With a large number of themImmigrationInflux into the United States, newImmigrationHe criticized the existing culture of the old United States and hoped to build a new America that was more inclusive, equal, and pluralistic. However, this kindCulture clashAs a result, whites became a vulnerable group, and the establishment elite began to support the narrative of the new America, thusMarginalizationThe traditional old Americans.
Not only that, but on an economic level,ImmigrationBrought some benefits to the United States, such as Wall Street and Silicon Valley can passImmigrationAccess to top talent, while traditional and service industries can fill labor gaps with cheap labor. However, these interests were mainly concentrated in the hands of the establishment elites, and instead of benefiting from them, the old American masses were overlookedMarginalization。In addition, Hollywood began to make a number of films that did not conform to traditional aesthetics, which further exacerbated the discontent of the old Americans. As a result, the old American masses gradually lost trust in the establishment elite.
However,TrumpAs onePoliticsAmateur, unexpectedly awakened in the inMarginalizationThe state of the old Americans. He received solid support under the slogan "Make America Great Again" and was eventually electedUnited States**。This victory, which deviated from the established course of the establishment elites, was shockedAmerican Politicsand completely changed the situation of the old Americans. However,TrumpDuring his administration, the internal contradictions and contradictions in the United States intensified day by day, and the antagonism between the old and new United States reached the level of openness, extreme, and deformity. TrumpAfter losing re-election in 2020, his supporters and even himself were seen as representatives of the "old America", shouting that they were the true "patriots" as they stormed the US Capitol. Although this behavior is illegal, they firmly believe that they have "justice" in the strict sense of the word. It can be seen from this that the United States has been unable to hide the seriousness of its ideology, and although it is unified on the surface, it has fierce internal friction.
In order to blockTrumpRunning again, the traditional establishment elite began to take steps to send him to prison, even if it was against the United StatesPoliticsEthics. This behavior showsTrumpIt has been decided to lead the old Americans to the charge against the new America at the cost of the rest of their lives, and in this struggle they are gaining momentum. However, even ifTrumpBeing re-elected will not change the reality that the United States is moving towards **, both ideologically and physically.
The United States as oneImmigrationThe country has always faced multicultural challenges and conflicts. For a long time, the United States has tried to find a balance between inclusion and diversity in order to achieve social harmony. However,TrumpAfter coming to power, the policies he adopted and the values he represented were in conflict with the traditional American establishment elite, leading to further aggravation of society.
From my personal observations,Trump's rise to power is not simply due to the conflict between old and new American cultures, but also to the quest for change and identity. Some people supportTrump, because they believe that traditional American values have been ignored and that they want to passTrumpLet your voice be heard. On the other hand, there are also many people who oppose itTrump, hoping to promote social progress and reform.
At present, American society is facing unprecedented challenges and contradictions, and the antagonism and contradictions between different classes and ethnic groups are becoming increasingly intensified. Against this backdrop, we need to think deeply about how to promote social harmony and unity. Rather than being extremely antagonistic and mutually exclusive, we should focus more on common interests and values, and find common ground among different groups.
TrumpofPoliticsPractice also provides us with some inspiration. His appearance and rise to power were not accidental, but were caused by the accumulation of social contradictions and the need for reform. Therefore,PoliticsElites need to pay more attention to the needs and ideas of the people when making policies and decisions, and reduce the likelihood of social ** by expanding dialogue and participation.
Finally, perhaps for the United States, solving the challenges will require a long-term process that requires the joint efforts of all parties. It is only through tolerance and mutual understanding that lasting harmony can be achieved in a multicultural and pluralistic society. This is also a question that we as individuals should think about when facing ** and conflict.
