The vacuous nature of the “analysis” provided by pundits in their election post-mortems plunged to new lows following the 2024 Trump-Harris election, leading to an inescapable conclusion: the political culture in the U.S. is broken, reflecting the dysfunctional status of the collapsing empire which created it. The polarization which characterized the campaign remains the dominant feature in analysis of “what went wrong with the Harris campaign”, and is, if anything, more nasty than the barbs launched by the two campaigns. The hysteria over Trump’s near-landslide victory has not yet peaked!

From the anti-Trumpers in both parties, there are warnings that the President-Elect’s first appointments, if confirmed, are a threat to national security, as they include “under-qualified, Putin-loving, culture warriors,” committed to a total disruption of politics-as-usual, orchestrated by the unpredictable victor himself, who is allegedly bent on revenge for the unfair treatment he received following his unexpected win in 2016!
They paint an apocalyptic vision, with a special focus on the danger explicit in the appointment of advocates of endless wars, especially those who support Benjamin Netanyahu’s Greater Israel fantasy. This includes U.S. defenders of extremists in Bibi’s government dedicated to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Israel, such as U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, who equates every criticism of Israel as malicious anti-Semitism, and has been tapped to serve as Ambassador to the U.N.; former Governor of Arkansas Mike Huckaby, a Christian Zionist who favors further expansion of Jewish settlements into territory illegally occupied by Israel; and a group of anti-Iran War Hawks, such as Brian Hook, appointed to head of the State Department Transition team, and Rep. Michael Waltz, chosen as National Security Adviser, both of whom are backers of “maximum pressure” against Iran.
There is good reason to be wary of such appointments, including that of Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, and Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary. Stefanik made a name for herself in Congressional hearings last Spring by bullying university presidents over charges that they did not rapidly deploy police to crush campus demonstrations against Israeli genocide, accusing them of fostering a climate of anti-Semitism reminiscent of Nazi Germany (1.). Stefanik played a key role in introducing legislation to censor freedom of the press and stifle free speech.
Such appointments do raise the question of whether Trump intends to fulfill his pledge to end ongoing wars, in Ukraine and in southwest Asia, and not initiate new ones. Yet to those fulminating against Trump as a dangerous “authoritarian”, claiming he has lied about his commitment to peace, it is fair to ask, why have they supported Biden’s fighting a war to the last Ukrainian against Russia, which threatens to escalate to a nuclear war; and what are they doing to end the Biden-Harris-Blinken complicity in genocide against Palestinians?
HYPOCRITE, THY NAME IS BLINKEN
That the blitz of condemnation of Trump’s first picks is coming from the very neo-conservative war hawks who have been apologists for the Collective Biden’s wars shows the hypocrisy in their expressions of concern over the incoming Trump administration (2.). The poster boy for this is Secretary of State Tony Blinken, who blatantly lied to Congress when he stated, “We do not currently assess that the Israeli government is prohibiting or otherwise restricting” humanitarian aid to Gaza, even though two agencies of the State Department had delivered to him reports detailing Israel’s blatant violations of U.S. law. Had he honestly reported on those findings, military and financial aid to Israel would have been cut off.
