Biden’s Enduring Legacy: Awful? No, Worse

by Robert Freeman

“It’s time to assess former U.S. President Joe Biden’s legacy. It has been a catastrophe, or worse. Domestically, his most influential legacy is that he turned the country over to Donald Trump, the most repellant, dis-qualified, should’ve-been-easy-to-defeat candidate for president, ever. It is the end of the epoch of liberal democracy and the beginning of an era of oligarchic fascism. Nothing less. Internationally, he lost the U.S.’[s] proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, and scarred the U.S. forever as an unrepentant perpetrator of genocide. It is the end of post-Cold War primacy for the United States and the beginning of its persona as a rapacious, predatory rogue state that objectively disdains human rights, democracy, and the international rule of law. Nothing less.” (02/01/25)
