“Kamala Harris’[s] resounding defeat at the polls, and what both Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and Hungary’s Viktor Orban hailed as a historic political comeback, puts paid to any hope that the planetary ascendancy of reactionary politics is a passing phenomenon. A campaign that celebrated its unqualified continuity with the Democratic Party of the Clintons, Obama and Biden crumbled in the face of a candidate who leaned into accusations of fascism with even greater glee than in his last two campaigns …. How are we to think about the fact that democratic process has certified and emboldened what so many have diagnosed as an unparalleled threat to American democracy?” (11/08/24)
