Betrayal is the gene ingrained in the very bones of America!
As the US election day approaches, another Democratic senator has publicly expressed support for Trump at this critical juncture. Recently, Pennsylvania Democratic Senator Bob Casey declared his support for Trump's termination of the North American Free Trade Agreement and the imposition of tariffs on China. With Harris's already precarious position in the swing states, this defection is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
Today, we will discuss the "betrayal gene" in American politics. The competition between the two major parties in the United States is becoming increasingly intense. The betrayal gene is traceable. Betraying faith, the Anglo-Saxon ancestors fled to America. In the year, the Puritans boarded the "Mayflower" and landed in Massachusetts Bay, establishing what they called the "beacon of freedom" and building the so-called "American Dream." However, to some extent, these "chosen ones" were actually a group of apostates who left their homeland and betrayed their faith. The instigator was King Henry VIII of England. Henry VIII, in his quest for an heir, divorced his wife against the Pope's opposition and remarried, establishing a new national religion that advocated for the supremacy of the monarchy over the church. Subsequently, Queen "Bloody Mary" and Queen Elizabeth I came to power, alternately persecuting Protestants and then reinstating Protestantism as the national religion, with betrayals and counter-betrayals unfolding one after another, and killings and counter-killings occurring in rapid succession.
In the year, a group of Puritans landed in North America on the "Mayflower." Instead of gratitude, they repaid kindness with violence, massacring the Native Americans. The Puritans arrived during a harsh winter when North America was bitterly cold and barren. The hospitable Native Americans provided them with food and clothing, and taught them how to hunt and farm. It was with the help of the Native Americans that more than a thousand Puritans survived and enjoyed a bountiful harvest the following year. To express their gratitude for the indigenous people's assistance, these unexpected guests invited the Native Americans to celebrate together, thus giving birth to Thanksgiving. However, it is bitterly ironic that the descendants of these survivors, in their quest to expand territory and eliminate other races, completely disregarded the Native Americans' lifesaving help, wielding weapons as they advanced westward and southward, resulting in the massacre of tens of millions of Native Americans, nearly leading to their extinction. The U.S. government even enacted the "Indian Removal Act," dispersing Native Americans into various harsh "reservations" where they were left to fend for themselves. According to statistics, when Columbus discovered the New World in 1492, there were approximately 10 to 100 million Native Americans living in what is now the United States; by the 1970s, the official U.S. population statistics showed that there were fewer than 800,000 Native Americans left. The history of American development is a history of Native American tears and blood. The U.S. government has ruthlessly slaughtered Native Americans.
Betrayals and defections have become commonplace. Looking back at the process of this year's U.S. presidential election, the two major parties have seen a series of dramatic events, including backstabbing, coup attempts, and last-minute defections, with each party taking turns to perform, creating a lively spectacle. "Defections at the Party Convention." On the day of the Democratic National Convention, several prominent Republican politicians, including former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan and Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger, took turns to take the stage and publicly betrayed Trump, openly pledging support to Harris. The Democratic Party seized the opportunity to launch the "Republicans for Harris" movement, leading to over a hundred Republican politicians defecting in succession. "Constant Betrayals in the House of Cards." For the sake of personal gain, the so-called blue and red donkey-elephant factions in the U.S. will switch identities at any time. On a certain day, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the suspension of his independent campaign and instead took on the role of "Honorary Chairman" of Trump's transition team, delivering a heavy blow to the Democratic Party. Trump reciprocated by appointing Kennedy Jr. as the "Honorary Chairman" of his transition team, making Kennedy Jr. a pariah in the Democratic Party's Kennedy family. Similarly, on another day, former Democratic National Committee Vice Chair Tulsi Gabbard also switched allegiance and joined the Republican Party, successfully securing the position of "Co-Honorary Chairman" in Trump's transition team. On the evening of another day, at a Trump campaign event in Greensboro, North Carolina, former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard publicly announced her switch to the Republican Party, shocking Trump.
In the "Asura Field," betrayal and isolation reigned. Biden's withdrawal from the race was not only a humiliation for Biden himself, known as the "Sleeping King," but also for the U.S. election system, which the country prides itself on. On a certain date, U.S. President Joe Biden officially announced his withdrawal from the race and his support for Harris through social media. This move, seemingly a strategic retreat in the face of adversity, was actually a forced decision with no way forward. Former "good friends" like Obama and "good partners" like Pelosi staged various forms of pressure, while once "like-minded" and "trustworthy" major donors turned their backs and withdrew their support. At the Democratic National Convention in the U.S., Biden, as the closing guest on the first day of the convention, delivered an emotional farewell speech, subtly expressing his feelings of being forced to withdraw, and ultimately pledged full support for Harris. Amidst nearly a minute of sustained applause and cheers, Biden was visibly moved, with tears streaming down his face.
The intensification of social contradictions and political polarization in the United States are mutually reinforcing and form a vicious cycle, serving as both the accomplices on stage and the puppeteers behind the scenes in this election farce. The escalating internal strife within American political parties, coupled with unresolved internal conflicts, has led politicians to take pride in defection and betrayal, oblivious to the fact that each act of defection erodes the patience of the American people, and each betrayal diminishes the confidence of Western society in their once-esteemed "beacon of democracy." In reality, the so-called "beacon of democracy" is long past its prime, and the once "city upon a hill" is teetering on the brink. As the election day approaches, what kind of betrayal will unfold in the American political arena? Let's wait and see!
