Kommentar: Von Amerika geht wieder Hoffnung aus – der Aufstand der Anständigen gegen Trump
Genug ist genug: Kandidaten wie der demokratische Politiker Jon Ossoff könnten zu Vorbildern im Kampf gegen rechte Populisten werden. Auch in Europa.
Nearly two decades ago, a young senator stepped onto the political stage in the United States, able to move his listeners to tears. A man who promised to end a senseless war in the Persian Gulf, restore faith in the American dream, and heal the fractured nation. "There is no black America, no white America, no Latino America and no Asian America," he cried.
"There is only the United States of America." With a message of hope and change, Barack Obama entered the White House in 2009. The man many view as Obama's heir brings hope for change, but his tone is different. Unrelenting. Furious. He says, "A wave is building, like never before in a generation, when people have been pushed too far and suddenly decide together: Enough is enough."
His name must be remembered - Jon Ossoff. The 39-year-old senator from Georgia is one of the leaders of the opposition that could usher in the end of the Trump era in the November 3 congressional elections.
