Translated from Hebrew by Rebecca K. Koenigsberg. Edited by Gillian Palmer. Posted on January 29, 2021. There are those who claim that the left is by nature totalitarian, but even if this is an exaggeration, the anti-liberal trends that are flooding America today should cause surprise and worry. It was worrisome and incredible to see hundreds of armed American soldiers spread out in the halls of the Capitol in Washington for Joe Biden’s inauguration, but it was necessary following the serious failure of security two weeks before. It is perhaps no less worrisome to see how American democracy is being trampled now, not only by the political right but also by the left. The Democrats in Congress, with the encouragement of the major networks, are exploiting the acts of barbarity on Capitol Hill and what came before, including former President Donald Trump’s “I am with you” speech, to take revenge and humiliate not only the former president but also the almost 50% of Americans who voted for him. They are wasting a historic opportunity to repair the tears in American society and to establish themselves as those who can unite the people. The initiative to establish a process of an ill-advised impeachment against Trump, whose days as president are over, is adding fuel to the fire.
