THE election’s over and now it’s time for the excuses to begin. The Democrats will blame Russia, China, Iran and probably even Moldova for interference. Had they lost, the Republicans would have said the election results were rigged.
The truth is most voters are so angry with the way not only the country but the world is going to hell in a handbasket, they turned out in droves to vote against the centre-right neoliberal agenda, pushing the majority of Americans closer to poverty domestically and pushing the world to the edge of nuclear destruction in a foreign policy built on simultaneously waging three wars. Wars which Joe Biden’s treasury secretary had famously said that an in-debt, cash-strapped government that cannot issue disaster relief at home can afford.
The Democrats will now claim that democracy has taken a hit, but the truth is what is left of that shabby institution had already been pummelled by that party in the campaign.
