At present, the United States is now diagnosed with about 1 million people every day, but there are still people arguing about whether to wear masks. This time, it is not the ordinary American people who are arguing, but the supreme authority of the United States, the Supreme Court of the United States. For a mask, the U.S. Supreme Court has now made a fuss to the point of separation, which is simply eye-opening.
Let's start with the media coverage of the matter. There are nine justices in the U.S. Supreme Court, including a 67-year-old female judge, Sonia Sotomayor, who has severe diabetes and must take very strict protective measures. Because according to the doctor's advice, this diabetic patient will undoubtedly die once infected with the new crown virus. Therefore, Sonia has insisted on wearing a mask to work since the beginning of the epidemic.
With the full-blown outbreak of Ami kerong in the United States, in order to prevent the virus and reduce the risk, the chief justice asked that everyone wear a mask when adjudicating cases face-to-face, both for themselves and to protect their colleagues. This would have been a very normal and reasonable request, and the 8 judges all consciously wore masks. However, some people do not believe in evil and have to fight against the virus.
Justice Neil Gorsuch, 54, said he was adamant about not wearing a mask. He said: You have the right to wear a mask, I have the right not to wear a mask, no one can order what I have to do.
In desperation, Chief Justice Roberts could only take a special form to continue his work. When 9 judges were needed to co-decide the case, 8 judges, including Gorsuch, worked face-to-face. Sonia, a seriously ill female judge, can only participate remotely via video.
According to media sources, Sonia is more than ten years older than Gosach and is seriously ill, and generally speaking, in most people's minds, Westerners are very gentlemanly and advocate women first. But when these mischievous pseudo-civilizations touch their own interests, especially when they need to temporarily converge on the scale of freedom, all grace and courtesy disappear. This may be the selfish and hypocritical nature hidden under the surface of legendary Western civilization.
If this were to happen in China, the vast majority of netizens on the Internet would certainly condemn Gorsuch's selfish behavior one-sidedly. But in the United States, the situation is completely different from that in China. Some domestic media have noticed that many American netizens support Gorsuch on the Internet, believing that he has done the right thing, that is, to insist on freedom, even the Supreme Court, can not deprive the right not to wear a mask.
But these are only superficial factors, and if you dig deeper, you will see the shadow of Trump. Even the US media have to admit that although Trump has been driven away and many of his policies have been kicked aside by the Biden administration, the political ecology he left behind still exists and continues to affect the future of the United States.
Take the Supreme Court, for example, as the supreme ruling body in the United States, many political contradictions that cannot be resolved are finally decided by the Supreme Court. However, 3 of the current 9 justices are directly appointed during Trump's reign.
They are not only representatives of conservative forces, but also promote the division of American politics, society and ethnic groups. A small mask problem cannot be unified for as long as two years, and it is conceivable to what extent the American people have been torn apart. So we can't blame Chinese netizens for predicting that the United States is declining or dying, it is basically that their own system has begun to rot from the root, and the Americans themselves predict that in 2024, the United States will have a civil war and split into multiple countries.
Either way, the United States is already caught in a political dead-end cycle. But the coronavirus has never been used to anyone. From a realistic point of view, the institutional farce of the United States is still constantly being staged. Decline is already doomed, and what follows is only a matter of time and manner.
