In the once secular US, religious funda\u00admen\u00adtalists are increas\u00adingly gaining influence, as most recently shown by the abortion ruling. Trump has appointed 120 conser\u00adv\u00adative judges during his term in office and so the Supreme Court could also change the electoral law in favour of conservatives.<\/h2>\n

While it is becoming increas\u00adingly clear to the US and the world that Donald Trump has been preparing the coup on 6 January 2021 for a long time and should therefore be charged with treason, his Repub\u00adlican Party is preparing for the next blow against US democracy. In perspective, the ultra-conser\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtives actually no longer have a chance of winning the White House for themselves. The demographic trend in the state is shifting from the white, Protestant, Anglo-Saxon ideal voter that the  Grand Old Party intends to embody. The US is becoming more colourful, more diverse, and thanks to immigration\u2013 unlike all other indus\u00adtri\u00adalised nations \u2013 also younger.<\/p>\n

In order to have any chance at all, the Repub\u00adlicans are therefore using a unfair trick, a new division of electoral districts that margin\u00adalises ethnic minorities and favours white female voters. This gerry\u00adman\u00addering violates the 14th Amendment to the US Consti\u00adtution. But now that the Supreme Court is staffed by politi\u00adcised individuals and three liberal justices face a phalanx of six Repub\u00adlicans, it is feared that the Consti\u00adtution will be amended and a jurispru\u00addence prohibiting gerry\u00adman\u00addering will be annulled. Donald Trump has appointed 120 conser\u00adv\u00adative judges and justices during his tenure. Those of them who are on the Supreme Court are appointed for life.<\/p>\n

Recently, conser\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtives have shown which path they want to set the country on with an ideological substan\u00adti\u00adation, often accom\u00adpanied in the US by a funda\u00admen\u00adtalist religiosity, which has become completely alien to many Europeans, thank Goddess. Women now no longer have the right to abortion. Now, the individual states decide whether to allow abortions or not. The Bible funda\u00admen\u00adtalists are cheering and even call that women who have an abortion legally performed in another state are to be punished in the state where they live.<\/p>\n

The US, which once started as the first secular project of the modern age, is thus turning into a kind of theocracy the high priests of which are the chief justices and acolytes are Repub\u00adlican office\u00adholders. US President Joe Biden should be stoned to death by the Repub\u00adlican Inqui\u00adsition because as a politician he supported legis\u00adlation that gave women a choice to continue or terminate their pregnancies. Right-wing members in the Catholic Church, to which Joe Biden belongs, echoed the same message, and wanted Joseph barred from receiving the sacraments.<\/p>\n

Hardliners on the Supreme Court have now tasted blood and want to continue the restruc\u00adturing of society. Next, they could address marriage for all, which is anathema in the eyes of many extreme believers \u2013 40 per cent of whom, by the way, believe that God created the world in six days, according to the text of the Book of Genesis.<\/p>\n

In this respect, the appointment of the US Supreme Court is different from that of a country like Germany. If judge\u00adships are assigned there \u201cpolit\u00adi\u00adcally\u201d, there is no doubt that \u2013 regardless of whether a judge hands in a CDU or an SPD party book upon taking office \u2013 the primacy of secular law applies. In the US, fanatical forces are promoting a Taliban\u00adization of society. This is accom\u00adpanied by the discrim\u00adi\u00adnation of whole groups of society, which is knowingly and willingly pushed by the Repub\u00adlicans for reasons of their own preser\u00advation of power.<\/p>\n

2024 will become a watershed, because then Donald Trump, should he not be indicted for treason and other crimes by then, could once again become the Repub\u00adli\u00adcan\u2019s candidate of choice. This would deal the death blow to US democracy, which is a shadow of its best self simply because of the obscene inequality in society.<\/p>\n
