THE DARKEST DAY IN AMERICAN HISTORY
Supporters of President Trump, who lost the recent election in the US capital by 232 votes to his rival Joe Biden’s 306 votes. International observers have rightly called it an open sign of the beginning of the downfall of the USA, which has been the world’s only superpower for decades. According to International media reports, lawmakers in the building were forced to hide under desks to save their lives during the attack by Trump supporters. The shooting also killed a woman inside the building, after which the mayor imposed a curfew in Washington in the evening to control the situation. According to media reports, President Trump “insisted on the transparency of the election in all major forums, including the Supreme Court, and despite his failure to substantiate his claim of victory,” insisted his supporters on Capitol Hill.
The process of final approval of Biden’s victory could be stopped. As the attackers entered the building, a large number of Republicans were speaking out against the election results. During the riots, President Trump sat in the Oval Office’s private drawing room watching the scenes and instructing his party members not to concede defeat via Twitter messages. He issued a Twitter message to stop the violence and to keep his supporters abiding by the law after he was strongly urged by staff. The rise of violence, rather than the democratic process of resolving differences of understanding between key US political parties, has posed a serious threat to democratic values in the United States, analysts say, where the country is clear under Trump’s four-year rule. Although it is certain that Joe Biden, who won a landslide victory in the presidential election will be sworn in as President of the United States because Trump has an appeal against the election results. There is no forum left now but in the long democratic history of the United States without recognizing the election results. It is not easy to prevent the negative effects and consequences of the undemocratic attitude that President Trump has sown in American society and the way he has divided the nation by inciting his supporters to violence against him. And the reason for the uncertainty is that the newly elected President Joe Biden has called this day the darkest day in the history of American democracy due to the violent commotion in the Capitol Hill building. Undoubtedly, President Trump’s approach to the election results reflects a so-called third-tier democracy, rather than the United States as an ideal republic for the whole world. Elections must be won and lost, and societies can be kept peaceful and stable by accepting them wholeheartedly.
