America is experiencing one of the biggest crises in its history. Americans' spending such an extraordinary period with a president like Trump should be their biggest misfortune. He acts more like a actor than a political personality, and acts like an actor who peaks populism, and a merchant who hates harm. His postings with the Bible, his shares such as “You will not be burning the churches”, the so-called determination poses he put on his face, raise the tension even more as he has made his ego a ceiling. It is as if the company is running, not the country. He looks at America and the world with this view as if he shows that he deserves the nickname "Real Estate King". The employees of his company treat everyone under his command. It seems that he does all this on purpose. It tries to blacken racism and make it look as if it does not exist, by mobilizing the nerve endings of the society and looting, citing street actions. The hateful burden that must remain deep in history acts like a porter carrying them to the present. He pretends to take into account what was done to George Floyd, but he actually has only one problem, and he himself. In fact, nothing else matters in your life. Nor does it intend to bypass anything it cannot do or exploit to be re-elected.
 
So, can the events in America be evaluated as the American Spring? I think it's too early to say that. Why do I think so, let me explain. First of all, I am telling the people, who reflect the pain in their hearts to the streets, and who try to express these feelings through peaceful protests, aside. American society is not a people with as much political consciousness as it is supposed to be. They have a structure that is very open to manipulations. Mind worlds can be easily controlled. Since it is a country established by immigrants, everyone is cautious towards someone else. Everyone doubts each other. The priority of the society, which broke a record in individual armament, is to protect itself against the other. Everyone brings the character of the geography that he / she migrated dominantly. The ghettoization is in the extreme. In other words, although the Americans present themselves as harmonies of differences from time to time, the feet of the goose are not so. Every big and small crisis is enough to make the streets so intense.
 
We said that American society does not have political consciousness, it would be enough to look at the participation rates. The rates of 40 percent and maximum 60 percent reveal what we mean. This situation can be explained as follows; Whoever comes from the American community believes that something will not change in their lives, or they do not care about politics. Maybe they have no hope that their problems can be solved in a two-party system. In other words, the American society does not closely follow the developments in a way that is not directly proportional to the US activity as a state in the world. Here the question comes to mind. Is it that the so-called democracy in America is designed through the use of the people for elections? Another question here is this; Who controls America's institutional order? As people try to survive with the way of life imposed that life is a mere brutal struggle, who or who continue to arbitrate their material and spiritual powers by taking advantage of this environment? We asked questions, but their answers are actually revealed by the steps Trump took in the Middle East. The messages he gives against Israel, "enough, do not interfere with me, I can give you whatever you want" are enough to make us know enough.
 
As a result, recent events have shown that America has not become safer with Trump's egocentric practices. His security-centric policies were not enough to make America safe. Democrats' candidate, Joe Biden, also gives the image of "hanging his sieve, sifted from flour". So, Democrat, Republican doesn't notice. This vicious circle is far from giving hope for the future of America. To the extent that society focuses on its own problems, it has to be sensitive to what their country is trying to do in the world. Waiting to make the world uninhabitable and to see the comfortable face inside is against the natural flow of life. For America, getting out of this vortex is difficult, but not impossible. In fact, the solution is very simple; It is the fact that they have put themselves in the shoes of everyone they have turned their lives into dungeons up to date, especially blacks in their own countries.
