I am constantly listening to the methods that Americans are more polarized More than ever。 Even if Donald Trump's Burnstorming returns to the presidential position, we will see the battle in between Unified Republican member of victoryand Democratic members who have lost morale comeback.
However, the polarization of the party cannot capture even more important reality. We are not divided into opposite left and right camping. Rather, we are broken by a many competitive world, policy position, and identity.
Beyond the polarization, we live under the conditions we call “hyperpralism”. There, people are divided into countless politics.
Social media has an ultra -multiplied principle, making it easier to organize politics. It's so destructive that never before。 We are looking at the way to consume the news. Media-Coice has been shattered General understanding of the event.
See this among the members that politicians had seen before Party elite I can do it now broker Their information and financing coalition. Posting to social media can reach political audience directly and collect thousands of dollars.
Hyperalia rhythm is the result of the spread of political remarks. Social media,, Podcast and News website。 This may have previously been a political outbreak, derived from the ability to achieve the people's audience and obtain essential financial support. FREEDOM CONVOYS or Black Lives Matter, Joe Rogan or The Young Turks.
Hyper Laliaism is revealed by the destructive power of American politics, which is a characteristic of the 21st century: from occupied wall street to Capitol riots, tea parties and squads, and anti -Vaxxers with medical institutions.
Through our politics, the results of ultra -multipleism will echo. When Russia's invasion of Ukraine is bad, when Americans oppose vaccine It's a good idea, or a violent attack on the United States Parliament. Peaceful protestThese are not signs of democratic deliberations between liberal and conservatives. They are spraying of squirrels, ideas, interests, and identities.
James Madison protects the constitution, spoke In the inevitable “mischief of a group FACT”, “enthusiasm for different opinions” is “OWN in human nature.” In his solution, the U.S. government was designed to check power between the competing group Ions and the center of government authorities.
“I have to be ambition to compete with ambition,” said Madison. I wrote。 This system guarantees the competition between interest and ideas, prevents the majority and minority dedicated politics, protects freedom, and fulfills the purpose of justice.
Multipleism was a good thing. The open society will encourage a civil discussion and solution for common interests. However, the public discussion and involvement on the Internet broke us and broke us from a very different interest and perspective. When there are many conflicts, it is difficult to achieve common profits, and it is difficult to agree that we are in common.
There is no simple solution for what we call too many mischiefs. In terms of ideology, there is no clear idea that you can agree to connect us. Advanced left, new liberal globalists, religion and flag conservatives, only a few major politics DepartmentRearly common in terms of political philosophy and policy selection.
The voters lacking in the divided parliament and consensus to pass the law, and to fix the constitution for bold solutions, as if the proportional representative was enacted, the gerimanding was ended. It is very difficult to push ahead.
On the other hand, the Internet makes people diversify it in his own politics. foamAnd social media algorithm It is designed to separate us further. Under these ultra -multiplied conditions, Americans borrow from Madison to “bother and oppress each other more than cooperating with their common interests”. The possibility is more likely
So I'm here. Trump is smiling at the country on a honeymoon of the Republican Party. However, under the waves of the victory, there is a broken society.
For many people, Trump himself is challenging a democratic system that no one is in our lives. A greater challenge for these institutions may be the division between those who intend to unite.
Under such a system, there is a problem whether Madison's great solution can be maintained.
