Steven Levitsky and Daniel Zibrat published in 2018 a book entitled How democracies die. In it, it is studied as democracies do not fall by the force of revolutions, but by the manifest and permanent inoperance of those who direct them. Do they stop being democracies? Categorically not. I read that book carefully and I must confess that I am not even close to agreeing as a citizen raised in a European democracy, Spain, today assaulted by an ordinary citizen who has managed to be imposed thanks to the dialectical Lodazal of the machinery created by him. But that is another story.
When Donald Trump, he won the latest democratic elections in the US, let’s not forget, with votes at the polls, in the face of the inoperance of the Democratic Party, Steven Levistky, at the time Harvard professor, did not get tired of participating in interviews with a certainly apocalyptic message where he affirmed: We are witnessing the collapse of our democracy. The United States is falling into a form of authoritarianism. It is likely not irrelevant, but the United States is no longer a democracy.
In the time Donald Trump takes in the power of the Federation of States that make up that country, have the human rights of minorities in general be clearly violated? No. Did some decrees articulate that could make presades that this was going to happen? Yes. But time is putting on the table the strategic elements that presage Trump’s jump towards foreign policy, where their true interests are.
Is Trump the culprit of how much happens in those lands? I have clear that categorically, no. Let’s put an example that has raised some controversy in the academic ranks of the world, the confrontation of the American president with Harvard University.
I encourage you to read on the international press board an interesting article by Niall Ferguson, British historian and member of the HOOVER institution attached to Stanford University and founder of the recently created University of Austin, published by The Times On May 9, 2025. In this article analyzes because the Head of State faced a university like Harvard, Henchida of Vanity and Pride.
Why did he threatened and then withdraw the subsidies that the federal state granted to that university?
It could be analyzed hundreds of causes, but reality is only once as dangerous as a cancer that extends throughout the planet at the moment, and especially in Europe and Niall Ferguson in its article it makes it quite clear in a few phrases: Problematic, it is a very Harvard word. The problem here is that an institution known in its day for its large number of teachers and Jewish students has become as it recognizes itself, a hotbed of anti -Semitism. This entails, that an open and sincere conversation about the conflict between Hamas and Israel cannot be maintained, which does not between Palestine and Israel.
Even within this university, a systematic or racial anti -Semitism was generated (versus against the white man), in its admissions policy, for which the Jews or their related did not access the same way on equal terms to said hiring.
To tell different departments that a white person could not be hired for a certain position, it is an illegal practice and this has happened in Harvard, as in some other university in the United States. But let’s not forget that, unlike many other countries, despite erroneous chronicles, democracy exists and in 2023 culminated a trial called students for fair admissions against Havard, which was based on the data that Ron Unz, brought to light by those dates. The Supreme Court determined that a series of biased practices were already becoming beneficial for certain groups. But nothing happened and therefore, in the face of this opinion, and while the Biden administration did not act, Trump, after asking that these practices cease, since they violated the declaration of civil rights, and before their refusal, applied a decision of the Supreme Court of 1982, when He ratified the decision of the American farm to revoke the free status of obligations of the Bob Jones University (BJU), in Greenhil, South Carolina, due to their racially discriminatory policies, which included the prohibition of interracial sentimental relations. This university recovered its status in 2017, after canceling said regulations and verifying by independent agencies that this cancellation applied. In Harvard a cancellation of whites and Jews that should be stopped was put into practice. And the manifestations and the altercations in this and other Universities of the Proporting Youth, in the end led the Republican Administration to make a decision that Trump is singularly arrogant, but that was not such.
From the operation AL-AQSA floodthat on October 7, 2023 and the next two days, the Hamás terrorist organization was carried out with the help of third parties, where 1200 young Jews of different nationalities died directly and 251 were kidnapped, between men, women, and children, regardless of age, without forgetting that more than 5000 missiles were thrown over that territory, and after the consume Pernicious that has become many countries, leaders, and estates, an ideologue ideologues, cutting off any type of dialogue about said conflict.
The damage suffered by Israel and the Jewish people does not seem to be taken into account in any of the discussions, this conflict being used, especially in some countries in Europe, such as Spain, as an element of discrepancy, where the radical left, already including in it the party that governs, the right to manipulate public opinion, even in the locutions of the famous Eurovision Festival.
Citizens have civil rights that should not be trampled for what is written by Niall Ferguson, it seems that being a white and heterosexual man, today makes us cannon meat.
