China News Service, August 17 (Sweet) Recently, as the FBI raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate continues to ferment, the completely different attitudes of the two parties in the United States are intriguing.

　　On the one hand, Trump and the Republican Party have continued to lash out, and on the other, the silence of Democrats.

　　The donkey-elephant dispute that has always been "you live or die" has died down this time, or is a bigger political storm brewing?

Is America in a very dangerous situation?

　　"The United States is in a very dangerous situation, and people in this country will not endure another scam." Trump said in his first interview with the media on the 15th after the "home search" incident.

　　Like Trump, angry Republicans have repeatedly and strongly condemned, arguing that "the FBI's actions have undermined public confidence in the justice system" and questioned the fact that the Justice Department and the FBI's investigations are politically motivated.

　　Some right-wing media even directly regarded Attorney General Garland's action as a "retaliation" against Trump and the Republican Party.

In March 2016, then-President Barack Obama nominated Garland to serve as a Supreme Court justice, filling the vacancy after the death of conservative Justice Scalia.

But the nomination was shelved because the Senate was controlled by Republicans at the time.

　　The FBI and the US Department of Justice, who were pushed to the forefront, naturally denied this.

Garland emphasized in his support of the FBI that "upholding the rule of law means applying the rule of law equally, without fear and favoritism."

　　As American public opinion continued to ferment, it was surprising that the Democrats fell silent and "had little to say" on the search.

　　The White House press secretary directly threw out three "nos" - "non-interference, ignorance, and no participation", and repeatedly refused to comment, "We absolutely cannot comment on this", "I really can't comment on this"... …

　　So, what is the truth?

Perhaps, in the US political situation full of "endless chaos", the final conclusion is difficult.

Some analysts say that whether it is Trump or Biden, or the U.S. Department of Justice or the FBI, behind their insistence and mutual attacks, they are just "partisan battles and power struggles."

Political polarization, America becomes a 'divided' country

　　Over the years, investigations into allegations that Trump has faced have continued.

According to his own words, the so-called "witch hunt" has begun since he announced his candidacy at Trump Tower in 2015.

　　During the 2016 election, Trump faced allegations of "collaboration with Russia" by Democrats.

And his rival Hillary Clinton was dug out of the "mail door" old account, hit hard, and eventually lost the election.

　　A few years later, the reincarnation of the party struggle reappeared.

Trump, who was running for re-election for the presidency, was "on the bar" with the then Democratic presidential candidate Biden. The intelligence community anonymously reported that when Trump had a phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky in 2019, he asked the other party to investigate Biden and his actions. Son Hunter.

Democrats immediately regarded it as the key "handle" to bring down Trump, and the actions continued, which eventually evolved into an impeachment battle.

　　Now, although there are still two years left, Trump and Biden seem to be "warming up" for the next election.

After the "home search" incident, Trump's personal lawyer even said directly: "If Trump is elected (president), the first thing he will do will be to search every residence of Biden."

　　For votes, the two parties continue to exchange fire, and political polarization has almost turned the United States into a "divided country."

And with the midterm elections approaching, the situation may only get worse.

Partisanship has become a "black hole in the center of American politics"

　　Partisanship in the United States has become a "black hole in the center of American politics." Social divisions have intensified and political conflicts have escalated, which "may shake the foundation of the United States."

The British "Economist" commented on August 10.

　　On the one hand, since Trump is likely to represent the Republican Party in the presidential election again in 2024, and is leading a number of Republicans to snatch congressional and local government positions in the midterm elections, the "Soujia" storm may turn into a major political storm.

　　According to NBC, after Trump stood, at least 188 Republican candidates won the primary election, and their influence is still not to be underestimated.

The Biden administration's public opinion ratings have hit record lows, and the Democratic Party is worried that the midterm elections will "suffer a disastrous defeat."

Behind the "Soujia" incident, there may be an unavoidable intention to suppress the morale of the Republican Party.

　　On the other hand, Trump's supporters and opponents are tit-for-tat, and American society is facing further tearing apart.

　　In front of Trump Tower, Trump's opponents displayed "Arrest Trump" banners.

At the same time, the conspiracy theory that Trump was "framed" has become the main tone of some social media platforms, and some netizens have left messages to threaten the personal safety of law enforcement officers, and even put them into action.

　　For such a scene, Fox News anchor Will Kane sighed, "We have seen the state of the country being torn apart forever." Some netizens even commented that this "search home" incident "started the second civil war in the United States." the first shot".

　　The analysis pointed out that as the mid-term elections get closer, the political criticism of the two parties in the United States will become more severe, which will intensify the emotional and violent mid-term elections, deepen social divisions and conflicts, and also make the election a hotbed of violence, which may severely frustrate Americans. Democracy with pride.
