刚看到城头的新闻，环球网也登了： 美国人“倒普”示威，居然打出毛主席语录。换个角度，这是不是在说“倒普”运动也可以认为是新时代美国版本的文革，应予全面否定？那依《环球时报》的逻辑，中国官方应该和特朗普的立场站一起才对呀？

美国大选共和党参选人特朗普原定11日晚在芝加哥举行竞选造势大会，引发数千名支持者和抗议者的对峙，后造势活动被迫取消，经警方介入才平息事态， 有多人被捕。支持不同竞选者的选民发生肢体冲突，完全容不下对方，这通常是发展中社会大选时的表现，如今美国的选举也出现火药味十足的“群众斗群众”，非 常有冲击力。
特朗普有点像美国政治中的“孙猴子”，把一切都掀翻了。他不断说出种族主义色彩强烈的言论，骂墨西哥裔是“强奸犯”，主张在墨美边境“修长城”。还反对穆斯林进入美国，公开展示对谴责三K党的拒绝，羞辱著名电视女主持人等等。他像是在成心挑战美国政坛的“政治正确性”。
一些分析人士认为，特朗普是一个被“弄假成真”的共和党选举偶像。一开始没人把这个有点钱、自恋、专挑刺激话说的老头子当回事，他只是帮共和党初选吸引眼球的一个“小丑”。然而谁也没有想到，这个“丑角”竟然做大了，把共和党原本被看好的参选人纷纷打翻在地。
共和党内的主流派都不喜欢特朗普，一旦后者赢得初选，共和党将面临艰难抉择：到底推不推他作为共和党总统候选人。推他，不符合共和党的传统价值观，而且输给民主党的可能性太大了。不推他，特朗普就可能以独立候选人身份参选，分掉共和党的选票，共和党将输得更无悬念。
有人说，特朗普“吃共和党的饭，砸共和党的锅”，蛮形象的。
特朗普现象可谓揭开了美国社会思想动荡的盖子。据分析，他的主要支持者是美国下层白人群体，他们对金融危机以来的美国感觉“受够了”。美国一直有着 西方最庞大，也最稳固的中产阶级，但这些年美国的中产阶级在分化，少部分人向上运动，更多的人向下出溜，生活窘迫得越来越不像中产阶级。
美国通过量化宽松等手腕恢复了经济的一些表面繁荣，然而这些变化的好处没有落到中产阶级头上，美国社会深处集聚了对全球化以及对国内问题的诸多愤怒情绪，需要有人帮他们发泄。
特朗普来得正是时候。他嘴大，反传统，说话骂骂咧咧，经常把要“揍谁”“抽谁”挂在嘴上，民粹主义得让支持人们感觉很过瘾。大选多数时候改善不了人 们的命运，这已是美国人的经验，那还不如借这个机会出口气，于是支持特朗普的人越来越多，形成了上文学者们所指的“弄假成真”。
一名种族主义者在美国政坛的崛起也给世界上带来不安。美国政治通常是可预测的，但特朗普代表了“各种可能性”和“不可预测性”。特朗普在国际上“谁 都骂”，好像是敢动真格，甚至“敢动核武器的主”，国际上现在不断有人把他类比成“墨索里尼”或者“希特勒”。这些声音既来自西方，也来自发展中国家。
西方选举史上的确有过选出大独裁者的深刻教训，但是目前多数分析人士依然相信，美国选举机制将最终阻止特朗普成为总统，他很可能是美国民主的“一场虚惊”。
然而即使特朗普只是“虚惊”，也已经很过分了。他迄今营造出的影响力已经清晰告诉人们美国“生病了”，这场病既是大量现实矛盾的“积劳成疾”，也是体制性基因隐患被激活所致。
内部的民粹主义已有如此活跃度，可以想见美国社会的对外民族主义已经积攒了多大能量。美或许需要严防自己对世界和平的破坏性力量输出，这比它对别国的“民族主义”及“暴政”指摘、抨击更具有现实意义。

China paper says rise of ‘racist’ Trump shows democracy is scary
By Simon Denyer March 14
Mussolini and Hitler came to power through elections, China’s Global Times reminded readers Monday. Now an “abusively racist and extremist” candidate is on the rise in the United States, it says. Maybe democracy isn’t such a good idea after all.
In an editorial Monday, China’s state-owned Global Times newspaper used Donald Trump’s rise to gloat about the fault lines in U.S. society and to argue that democracy was both a waste of time -- and downright scary.
From the rise of a “narcissistic and inflammatory candidate” to the violence that surrounded his planned rally in Chicago, the paper said it was shocking this could happen in a country that “boasts one of the most developed and mature democratic election systems” in the world.

Fistfights between supporters of rival parties might be common in developing countries during election season, it wrote, but in the United States?
Trump, it said, has opened a Pandora’s box.
The candidate’s supporters, it noted, are mostly lower-class whites who lost a lot after the 2008 financial crisis. “The U.S. used to have the largest and most stable middle class in the Western world, but many are going down.”
Unwritten, but implied: The argument that China survived that financial crisis in much better shape, and its middle-class is rising.
Ignored: The argument that trade with China after it entered the World Trade Organization caused manufacturing jobs to hemorrhage from middle America, and the fact that China is still grappling with the delayed aftershock from the financial crisis, as its economy struggles under a growing mountain of debt.
But, back to the point-scoring.
Then, the paper described the emergence of Trump, “big-mouthed” and the "perfect populist" to provoke the public.
“Despite candidates’ promises, Americans know elections cannot really change their lives. Then, why not support Trump and vent their spleen?”
The second big takeaway of the article: Democracy doesn’t get you anywhere anyway, so why bother?
The paper went on to argue that this election did raise some serious issues about America’s decline and hypocrisy. After noting the rise of Mussolini and Hitler, it said that most analysts believe the U.S. election system will prevent Trump from winning, so that “the process will be scary but not dangerous.”
But even if Trump is a false alarm, his rise has “left a dent” and left the United States facing “the prospect of an institutional failure.”
The inherent instability of the democratic system is classic Communist Party propaganda and an argument that resonates with many people here: Indeed, it is one of the pillars of the party’s legitimacy in many people’s eyes.
Democracy is a mess – just look at India – and sometimes violent – viz. the Arab Spring. China’s history before the Communist Party came to power was equally messy. Only strong, purposeful and benevolent one-party rule can guarantee stability.
Of course, there are a couple of glaring lacunae in that argument: The most obvious being the tyranny and mass insanity unleashed by Mao Zedong, who killed tens of millions of his own people, (as indeed Stalin did in the Soviet Union). But hey, that bit of history is officially glossed over here.
The paper may have a point in that the rise of Trump -- as well as that of Bernie Sanders -- is arguably a reaction to the capture of American politics by big business and lobbyists, and the failure of globalization to deliver economic benefits to the middle class.
But it also ignores the fact that democratic “reactions” can often offer a (long and winding) path to democratic solutions, while dictatorships almost always end in chaos.
But back to the Global Times.
Finally, then, the paper had this message for the United States.
“The U.S. had better watch itself for not being a source of destructive forces against world peace, more than pointing fingers at other countries for their supposed nationalism and tyranny.”
U.S. hypocrisy: It’s an argument that was also aired in a 45-minute documentary Sunday on party-controlled China Central Television. The Xinhua news agency said the program revealed the U.S. “double standards on human rights-related issues, whereby the U.S. pokes its nose into other countries' internal affairs while leaving many of its own problems unsolved.” Quartz called it part of China's escalating criticism of the United States. Last week, it noted, the Chinese ambassador to the United Nations declared the United States too violent and racist to criticize others on human rights.
If you want to see how CCTV looks at the United States, the documentary has been posted to YouTube, with subtitles.
China seemed to have had an ambivalent reaction to Trump’s rise, from the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman who reported her country’s “bemused” interest in the campaign to nationalist netizens unsure whether to celebrate his authoritarian streak or exult in America’s perceived decline.
Donald Trump says Chinese people love him. Is he right?
Ironically, there is one group of Chinese who have united in their condemnation of Trump, if for very different reasons from the Global Times: The survivors of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.
On Friday’s Republican debate, Trump appeared to endorse what he called a “strong” response from the Chinese government in putting down pro-democracy protests there. He described the Tiananmen Square protests as a “riot.”
Trump just called Tiananmen Square a ‘riot.’ The Communist Party will be pleased.
Since then, survivors and exiled rights groups have lined up to condemn him for supporting tyranny and to demand that he apologize.
Trump, wrote former Tiananmen protest leader Wu’er Kaixi on his Facebook page, “is an enemy of the values that America deeply defines itself by: The same values that have long provided hope to the victims of oppressive power worldwide."
"Those of us who have fought for freedom anywhere in the world worry that something is about to change in America.”
