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 entered the political arena in the United States, capable of moving his audience to tears. This man pledged to end an unnecessary 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 declared.
"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 see as Obama's successor brings a different tone to the stage – one of relentless and furious conviction. He declares, "A wave is building, one that only happens once in a generation when people are pushed too far and suddenly decide together: Enough is enough."
His name should be remembered: Jon Ossoff. The 39-year-old senator from Georgia is one of the leading voices of the opposition, who could signal the beginning of the end of the Trump era with the congressional elections on November 3rd.
