Yet even this sigh of relief must be exceptionally brief, as we prepare
for inevitable confrontations with an administration led by an
austerian, and stacked with neoliberals, fossil-fuel lobbyists,
cruise-missile liberals, and Obama-era retreads. As a/Washington
Post/observer astutely put it, Biden has brought back ‘the
establishment’. The message is that there will be an attempt at
restoration of the very dysfunctional, violent and brutal ‘normality’ in
which Trumpism first flourished. And if Trump is a symptom of imperial
decline and the de-centring of Euro-America in world affairs, Biden
gives every indication of striving to halt that decline. That this is a
chimerical project is no comfort, given how he will try, and fail. The
lining looks less silver by the minute.
