The cases of the Prime Minister of Israel, Benyamin Netanyahu, known as Bibi in his country, and of Donald Trump are copy-paste, one being the political double of the other.
The twins have justice behind them for several potential crimes, and need the power to try to get out of the shit, which is to clog their justice system in order to be exonerated.
Like two political zombies of the apocalypse, with their resurrection, they will not hesitate to abuse the social order in their quest for absolution for their scams.
In the genre, both could consider chaos as a strategic hypothesis, and violence as a fatality, if they can take advantage of it and save their butts.
We didn’t want so many stamina to these septuagenarians. We would prefer to see them play shuffleboard or at whist, or by bad luck staying in a CHSLD.
Bibi succeeded in forming a majority government by associating with minority political parties, made up of completely frosty religious fundamentalists, who would like to see the country run according to the precepts of their faith.
Trump was elected in 2016 thanks to the support of evangelicals, whose beliefs reject abortion, which led to a historic, retrograde questioning and, in fact, the abolition of this right in several states. .
Trump has just been indicted in New York, and other much more serious charges are expected to hit him like a ten-wheeler in the coming months.
Bibi, for his part, is accused of corruption, fraud and breach of trust. Really not fancy. His trial is ongoing.
Both do not refrain from authoritarian management of the state, and have very little regard for the balance of powers. In fact, they don’t understand it.
Trump believes the U.S. Supreme Court must rule in his favor because the majority of its members are conservatives, and he personally appointed three.
Bibi, on the other hand, believes that his country’s power has far too much power, hence his recent assault to take away prerogatives and transform them into legislative and executive mandates. The objective is obviously to avoid his condemnation.
Although sometimes troubled, Israel has been a democracy since its founding in 1948, and Americans revere their Constitution.
Despite everything, Trump tried to destabilize the American political system with the January 6, 2020 riot on Capitol Hill.
For his part, Bibi, in his pursuit of weakening the Supreme Court, provoked monster rallies and threats of a general strike that shook the country.
He decided to put everything off until later, in a month, reaffirming his desire to achieve his ends, intentions that are extremely dangerous as far as social peace is concerned.
In both cases, what fascinates is this disrespect for institutions, and the assumed indecency in appropriating the levers of the State for personal ends.
We would like them with more amenity, but who believes that Trump mourned the death of Capitol security personnel caused by the attack on his supporters?
Or that he is moved by the assassination of children in American schools, who are the objects of attacks by patients who have access to all possible weapons? Also, because the dear man is in osmosis with the powerful American gun lobby.
Who believes that Bibi would stop sleeping about the social and economic repercussions of his actions against the institutions of his country, to save his skin?
Let’s also admit that the reaction of part of the Israeli people, who took to the streets to counter the malevolent intentions of their Prime Minister, is rather remarkable.
In the United States, Trump stages himself and becomes both victim and aggressor, promising revenge.
But what is remarkable in this case is the Republican cowardice, which slouches like a slug in front of the jaundiced duvet.
Even Ron DeSantis, alleged main adversary of Trump, that David Frum of The Atlantic dubs Diet Trump.
Michelle Obama once said: When they go low, we go high! »
She was right. But could they become so cowardly? It seems that yes, they can reach unsuspected levels of baseness.
With all of that said, there’s a problem: Trump and Netanyahu were elected and defeated legally, just as Bibi was re-elected the same way, and Trump might be eventually.
There it is, the tragedy!
With Erdogan in Turkey, Orban in Hungary, Duda in Poland and Saïed in Tunisia, for example, and unclear situations in India, Romania and the Balkans, among others, the so-called democracies illiberal are developing gradually, and the independence of the judiciary is becoming its first victim.
Trump and Netanyahu surely do not disagree with this trend.
One can hate Trump, but otherwise understand the underpinnings of America’s conservative fiscal ideology.
We can worry about Poilievre, but retain fond memories of the conservatism of Brian Mulroney.
We sometimes find ourselves becoming nostalgic, and wishing for a resurgence of a true, balanced and social right, in order to see the disappearance of these dangerous usurpers who claim to represent it but who, rather, contaminate traditional conservative values.
