Ngenkathi iqiniso likhombisa usaziwayo uDonald Trump ephumelele ukhetho lukaMongameli lwango-2016, iningi lethu esisebenzela ukuthula nobulungiswa ngobungcweti futhi sazi ukuthi kwase kuyisikhathi futhi sokuthi siqinise ukumelana nobudlova. Kwadingeka simelane nohlu lokuwashwa lokungalingani kwezenhlalo olwalukhahlelwa ngaphandle. Ngokukhethwa kwekhabhinethi nosuku lokugcotshwa, inhlansi yokugcina yethemba le-pivot kaMongameli yashabalala. Nokho, kwenzeka into emangalisayo lapho uTrump egcotshwa. Ukumelana sekuye kwanda futhi kwasakazekela kuyo yonke imikhakha yomphakathi.
I-Women's March kanye nodadewabo bamashi, okuthi, ngokomunye wochwepheshe abahamba phambili emhlabeni mayelana nokumelana nomphakathi, u-Erica Chenoweth kanye nozakwabo uJeremy Pressman, “cishe bekuwumboniso omkhulu wosuku olulodwa emlandweni wase-US orekhodiwe”, uqalise uchungechunge lwemicimbi ngisho nezishoshovu ezingenalo udlame ezinokuhlangenwe nakho kakhulu - ezicabanga ukuthi ukugqugquzelwa kwempi ye-Anti-Vietnam - okungakayiqondi ngokugcwele. Okuphawuliwe okukhuthazayo ngesikhathi nangemuva kwemashi yabesifazane kwaba ubukhona obuphawulekayo bedolobha elincane laseMelika. Lokhu kukodwa kuyakhuthaza, kusukela ku- ukufunda nokuzijwayeza sokumelana esikwaziyo ngokwanele mayelana nokuthi ukugqugquzela abantu abaningi kungaphenduka kanjani kube ukunyakaza okuholela ekunqobeni okuphezulu okufana egumbuqela omashiqela ngaphandle kobudlova. Kodwa kukhona okunye okwenzeka.
Ukuphikiswa akwenzekanga nje ngendlela yokubhikisha, kodwa nokugcinwa kwesimilo kuyo yonke imikhakha yezenhlalo nezomnotho iye yavuswa. Izibonelo ezilandelayo zikhombisa ukuthi ukumelana akumele kuqondwe njengokukhombisa nje emigwaqeni:

Kungani lezi zenzo zokumelana zinendaba?
Ukumelana okubanzi kuza nethuba langempela lokuthi lesi sizwe sisuke endleleni elimazayo ethathwe ngabaphathi bakaTrump. Abaphathi bangaphika kuphela futhi banciphise ukumelana ngezinga elithile. Ababhikishi bangabizwa kuphela ngokuthi “ama-anarchist angochwepheshe, izigebengu nababhikishi abakhokhelwayo” uma kukhona izinhlangothi ezinodlame - okufanele ngaso sonke isikhathi zigwenywe futhi ziqhelelane nokunyakaza kokumelana - nalapho zingekho ezinye izinhlobo zokumelana ezenzekayo. Ukunwetshwa kuyishintshile inkundla yokudlala.
Abantu abaningi abasha kungenzeka bajoyine ngoba bathola izindlela ezihambisana nomxholo wabo oseduze, amanani abo, amandla abo, izinto ezibalulekile zabo, kanye nokuzimisela kwabo umshado. Okungenzeka amafomu okumelana kunqunyelwe kuphela ubuciko. Abantu abasha baqala ukusebenza futhi bayingxenye yokumelana ngoba banomuzwa wokuthi kunokuthile abangakunikela. Izishoshovu ezingomakadebona akumele zibehlulele noma zibabukele phansi ngoba zalinda kwaze kwaba manje. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, amakamu okwamanje asahlukanisiwe kakhulu abasekeli bakaTrump nabamelene naye bazokwazi ukuhlangana phezu kwamagugu aseMelika wentando yeningi, inkululeko nokulingana. Iningi labasekeli bakaTrump, ngiqinisekile, alizange livotele inzondo nokwesaba. Umnyakazo okhulayo wokumelana udinga ukugcina iminyango ivulekile ukuze bajoyine. Ukumelana kwakhelwe phezu kokuhlangana kwezindaba, kudala ubumbano emaqenjini amaningi asongelwayo kanye nalawo asebunyeni. Ezimweni ezivamile zezombusazwe eziyinkimbinkimbi, kulula ukukhetha uhlangothi oluphikisana nomholi onegunya nonephutha, ngesikhathi esifanayo ukhulumela izindaba ezihlukahlukene ezisekelwe kuzindinganiso ezivamile zaseMelika.
Into eyodwa isobala, asikho endleleni engenakugwemeka ebheke ekumelaneni ngempumelelo. Akusebenzi njalo. Kungaphazanyiswa ukulahlekelwa umfutho, ukulwela ama-ajenda namasu, imizamo ye-propaganda ephumelelayo yokuhlanekezela amaqiniso nokufakwa kodlame ukubala izici ezimbalwa kuphela. Kodwa-ke, ngokubheka amaphethini kanye namacala okuphikisa komphakathi emlandweni, kufanele sinikeze uTrump udumo ngento eyodwa ayisho: "Januwari 20th 2017, izokhunjulwa njengosuku abantu ababa ngababusi balesi sizwe futhi!" Ngokubona ukuthi ingqikithi nezinqubo zokumelana nokuphatha kukaTrump zingene kanjani kuyo yonke imikhakha yomphakathi, uthole lelo lungelo. Uma ingenalo udlame, awukho umkhawulo wokumelana. Ukuphikiswa yilokho abantu abakhethe ukubukela phansi izinqubomgomo nemiyalelo engeyona eyaseMelika, elimaza abanye abantu kanye neplanethi.
