America's collapse from within
“The USA is going through one of the most critical periods in its history; “A period in which deep conflicts and marked differences of opinion cast a shadow over nearly every aspect of the lives of this country's citizens.”
This is the American newspaper Washington Post's commentary on the current situation in America, and it writes, referring to some of the most fundamental crises in America, such as the largest student movement of the 21st century, the first criminal trial of an American president (Donald Trump) and the abortion law: “A cloud of problems and crises casts a shadow over the United States and grows darker with each new urgent news; the crises coincide with the 2024 US presidential elections.”
The coronavirus pandemic, Trump's rise to power in 2016 and the storming of the US Congress building in 2021 are points that left a strong impact on American history. In the southern states, which number 16, the desire for separatism is more evident in 2023. It announced that it had collected more than half of the 100,000 signatures needed for a non-binding referendum on secession from the United States.
Meanwhile, while the constitution does not specify a mechanism for this and each state enjoys great internal independence, this has come into conflict with the states, especially during elections and political strife.
Especially after Trump came to power, domestic terrorism in America has mushroomed in the political and social atmosphere, with the number of open cases increasing three times between 2013 and 2021 . It increased by more than 357%, the mushrooming of fascist and far-right groups advocating the supremacy of the white race, the increase in racist attacks, the fear of white supremacists targeting people of color, and the increase in the social gap, which led the American people to purchase weapons intensively. .
The concentration of extremism in American society is so serious that, according to this country's Secretary of Homeland Security "Alejandro Mayorkas", "it has become one of the greatest terrorism-related threats to the United States".
US President Joe Biden also described "domestic terrorism" as the "deadliest threat" to America. Biden says the following on this subject: The deadliest threat to America is neither ISIS nor al-Qaeda, but those who believe in the superiority of the White race. "
While radicalism is on a significant upward trend in the USA, political and social polarization is also taking place. In fact, the Democratic and Republican parties and their supporters and senior politicians have virtually made America the victim of their own interests.
Many working in the field of international relations, such as Francis Fukuyama the researcher and thinker believes that the volume of internal and external crises for America has increased so much that they have virtually turned America into a beautiful building weakened by termites from the inside.
There are now many signs and evidence that the hegemonic position of the USA is declining and, most importantly, American values are collapsing in the field of international relations./
