Worth Repeat: Donald Trump’s supporters stormed Washington because MAGA keeps losing
来源: 大中报 李子
 

2021年1月6日星期三下午,川普的支持者在华盛顿举行了一场漠视现实的集会。即将卸任的川普在集会上多次声称11月的美国总统大选因舞弊而让他丢失的白宫主人的地位。他在集会上的演说与他发表连任就职演说没有什么两样,只是他的连任演说永远不会发生罢了。结果,那些“让美国再次伟大”的川普支持者横越华盛顿,涌向美国国会大厦。刚开始时,他们在国会-美国民主的象征之前抗议,随后暴力冲进国会大厦。
 
On Wednesday afternoon, after one more surreal Donald Trump rally in Washington, D.C., where the outgoing President claimed for the umpteenth time that his election defeat last month was a fraud, and delivered a kind of second inaugural address for a second inauguration that will not be happening, a mass of his MAGA-hatted supporters marched across town to the United States Capitol. First they protested in front of the home of American democracy, and then they stormed it.

正在开会辩论是否最终敲定川普败选和拜登胜选的国会议员们被迫夺门逃命。暴徒们冲破警察防线,占领了国会大厦。他们洗劫了国会办公室,在参议院里四处游逛。随着夜幕降临,华盛顿市政府想办法恢复治安,并等待附近的警察和国民警卫队的增援。
 
Members of Congress, in session to finalize Mr. Trump’s electoral defeat and Joe Biden’s victory, were forced to flee. Rioters pushed past police, broke down doors and occupied the building. They ransacked congressional offices and roamed at will on an evacuated Senate floor. As night fell, the city was trying to restore order and awaiting reinforcements from nearby police forces and the National Guard.



同样在星期三下午,乔治亚州的民主党参议员候选人奥索夫被主流媒体认定再次获胜。加上先前媒体认定的民主党参议员候选人沃诺克牧师已经夺得另一个参议院席位,民主党等于(民主党已经在11月入主白宫,同时保持其在众议院的多数席位)将控制参议院。这意味着川普先生的共和党已经失去了对联邦政府的所有三个民选部门的控制。

Also on Wednesday afternoon, Jon Ossoff was declared the winner of a Senate runoff election in Georgia. Together with Rev. Raphael Warnock’s victory in Georgia’s other Senate seat, it means that the Democratic Party – which in November captured the White House while keeping its majority in the House of Representatives – will now control the Senate. It means that Mr. Trump’s party has lost control of all three elected branches of the federal government.
 
记住,这是美国在星期三,2021年1月6日里一天内发生的事。

That was Wednesday in America.

过去两个月来,美国民主经历了最艰难的时期,也是最美好的时期。在过去的24小时内,美国模式的民主没有遭到破坏。

The past two months have been the worst of times for U.S. democracy, and the best of times. The past 24 hours continued the pattern.

虽然11月份总统大选之前人们被警告和威胁大选会很混乱和出现动乱,更甭提大选发生在新冠疫情爆发期间,但这一切并没有阻止美国人的投票热情。11月的选举使美国人参与民主的热情高涨,这使美国人自己都感到惊讶。

After all the warnings and threats of election chaos and violence, not to mention a pandemic that threatened to scare people away from the polls, November’s national vote surprised Americans by delivering a reinvigoration of the democratic system.

共和党人和民主党人的投票率都很高,创下了一个世纪以来的最高纪录。拜登先生获得的选票超过美国历史上任何一个总统候选人。他不仅重新夺回了2016年被川普夺去的几个工业走下坡路的州,而且抢占了共和党的老本营-乔治亚州。另外,拜登得票总数高出川普700万。

Turnout was massive, for Republicans and Democrats alike, hitting records not seen in a century. Mr. Biden received more votes than anyone in U.S. history. He recaptured Rust Belt states that had gone to Mr. Trump in 2016, swung the formerly safe Republican state of Georgia, and bested Mr. Trump by seven million votes.

周二,2021年1月5日,乔治亚州选民就哪两个参议员代表该州进行了选举。结果是两个民主党人获胜,这在美国南方各州的历史上属于首次。

And on Tuesday in Georgia, voters went to the polls in two Senate elections – both of them runoffs – to fill the state’s two Senate seats. The result was victory for two Democrats, an unprecedented outcome in that Deep South state.

从长远来看,周二乔治亚州选民的选择要比冲击华盛顿的暴徒们对美国政治和世界产生的影响大得多。

In the long run, what voters did this week in Georgia will have a far greater impact on American politics, and the world, than what rioters did in Washington.

乔治亚州重新绘制了美国的政治版图,这也许是永久性的。这意味着,至少在未来两年内,他们让拜登在立法和执行其政策方面畅通无阻。

The former have redrawn the American political map, perhaps permanently. In doing so, they have given Mr. Biden the power to pass legislation, and implement his agenda, at least for the next two years.

川普在大选问题上纠错地没完没了,并否认正常的民主程序,这已经成了共和党及其支持者的家常便饭。这也将导致美国政治版图的改变。

But Mr. Trump’s never-ending rearguard actions, and his steady denial of democratic norms, which are now part of the daily diet of his party and its supporters, are also a bid to redraw the American political map.

预计自己有可能被赶出白宫,川普于2020年夏天就开始进行竞选活动,声称有人在操纵总统大选。

Mr. Trump, in anticipation of his own defeat, last summer launched a campaign claiming the election was being rigged.

输了大选之后,他继续声称大选被操纵。川普告诉他的7,420万的支持者,他所得的选票比历史上任何总统候选人都多,却只字不提拜登比他获得票还要多。他声称拜登赢得大选是有人作弊,拜登当选是场政变。

After he lost, he continued in that vein. Mr. Trump told his 74.2 million voters – more than have ever voted for any presidential candidate, save Mr. Biden – that the results were a fraud, and that Mr. Biden’s victory was, in effect, a coup.



在过去四年中,川普不停地向美国这口井里投毒。最终,他直接向美国的肌体里注射毒药。

And the man who spent the past four years poisoning the well refuses to stop. Instead, he keeps on pouring toxins into the body politic.

一些共和党议员支持川普的荒谬言论,但他们当中更多人是出于投机,相信或恐惧而跟着川普撒谎。

Some Republican lawmakers stood up to Mr. Trump’s absurd claims, but many – out of opportunism, or belief, or fear – continue to feed the big lie.

川普不停散布流毒,造成了暴徒们于本周三冲击美国的立法机构。这些暴徒们举动很恶劣,但他们都可能真诚地相信川普的阴谋论。

What’s been the result? Wednesday’s storming of the U.S. legislature, by people who, however mistaken they are, may sincerely believe Mr. Trump’s conspiracy theories.

即将走人的川普明明知道民主党没有在选举中作弊。他明知道民主党无法制作数百万张假票。他知道为何许多法院会驳回他没有证据的作弊的指控。川普还知道,他的副总统彭斯没有权力推翻选举结果。而彭斯自己在周三晚上公开承认了这一点。

The outgoing President knows that the Democratic Party didn’t fix the election. He knows it didn’t cook up millions of fake ballots. He knows that multiple courts have rejected his evidence-free claims of fraud, and he knows why. He knows, despite what he said as late as Wednesday, that his Vice-President, Mike Pence, does not have the power to overturn the election result.

相比之下,川普的那些充满激情,对美国现状怒不可遏的支持者并没有意识到这一点。从始至终,川普就是一个聪明绝顶的大骗子。这些支持者是川普的最后玩弄的对象。但愿他们不再被川普玩弄!

His most fervent and angry supporters, in contrast, do not get that all of it, from beginning to end, has been a lifetime grifter’s biggest con. They are the confidence man’s latest, and hopefully last, marks.
