The aroma of democracy against oligarchy
March 15 2016 By Abiodun Giwa
Conservatives are religion inclined and to whom the words of the scripture should matter. And if they will ever take a look at what Jesus Christ said in one his teachings about a house that is divided against itself, the Republicans and the Conservatives will realize that head or tail, the party is the loser in the bizarre competition within the party against Donald Trump, the party's frontrunner in its election primaries.
People are saying that they think that a man like Mitt Romney, said to be a Christian leader, aside from being a politician, should have the import of Christ's teaching about a divided house and the need to avoid tearing the Republican Party into pieces.
Unfortunately, Romney has become the leader of acts that amounts to tearing the party apart, because according to him he does not want Trump to emerge as the nominee or the nation's president. He said that if Trump becomes the nominee, Hillary Clinton would win the election and if Trump wins the presidential election, he will as a president lead the country's economy into recession. Therefore, Romney has been doing everything he can to derail Trumps campaign. Although, Romney is not alone, he does appear to have become a leader among those who want Trump's campaign dead, careless of the repercussion to the party.
The latest act among Trump's opponents to kill his campaign happened in Ohio, where a young man rushed him on the stage, but was restrained by the law enforcement. And as Americans watch the primaries going into the second Super Tuesday, Trump's opponents within the Republican Party and outside the party are busy with plans to see him defeated, as if their lives and our lives depend on it. They plan to take Florida out of Trump's winning states, and they want to ensure that he does not win in Ohio.
The question here is whether if Trump's opponents succeed in undermining his campaign, do they think with Trump becoming a third party candidate, that whoever eventually becomes the Republican Party nominee would win the presidential election? Don't they think that the outcome of the clash with Trump would further help push the presidential election victory into the Democratic Party's arms? Amid the confusion that the Republican Party's primaries is causing the polity is the question being asked everywhere about who to blame for frequent protests in Trump's rallies.
Of course, Trumps opponents are responsible for the trouble in his rallies. Though Trump is holding Bernie Sanders responsible, observers are saying that the most poignant finger should have been directed at his opponents in his party. They have tried to want to get him into a meltdown during a debate with two of his co-contestants as instruments in the hands of the party's establishment, who have been asked to go him in the debate. When that failed, Romney began calls in states during a Super Tuesday for voters to vote for Rubio and Kasich and discouraging them from voting for Trump.
Yet, Trump survived them all. The next mind boggling act was the shutdown of his rally in Chicago and the Ohio's young man, who rushed to the stage. Although, the young man in a CNN interview said he is a Christian, he has never traveled out of the United States, he does not belong to the ISIS, but his choice of words for why he does not want Trump to become president matches the one earlier given by Romney that if Trump is allowed to become president, he will drive the economy into recession.
Trump's issue aside, there are two sides to the current political divide in America. One of the Democratic Party's candidate, Hillary Clinton, wants the status quo retained. Sanders and Trump want a change, which many people see as calling for a revolution. The Republican Party bigwigs also want to retain of the status quo in their own party against Trump's and his supporters' campaign for a change.
But many analysts have been asking the reason behind Trump's successes. They seem to discountenance the yearning for a change by many Americans as the cause for Trump's victories and why he is able to jump road blocks mounted against his campaign by increasing opposition from his own party, from the opposing party, and from the liberal and the conservative media.
Amid the opposition against Trump and his continuous victory is the sweet aroma of democracy. The scent for the aroma is supplied by voters' decisions against analysts' search for candidates with political correctness. It is what the nation has settled for, by accepting to embrace democracy.
In a true democracy, establishment people or party bigwigs have no place deciding what voters must do with their voters the way they are currently doing to stop Trump. It is why what Sanders has about American democracy turning into an oligarchy cannot be under estimated.
