They will blame James Comey and the FBI. They will blame voter suppression and racism. They will blame Bernie or bust
and misogyny. They will blame third parties and independent candidates.
They will blame the corporate media for giving him the platform, social
media for being a bullhorn, and WikiLeaks for airing the laundry.
But this leaves out the force most
responsible for creating the nightmare in which we now find ourselves
wide awake: neoliberalism. That worldview – fully embodied by Hillary Clinton
and her machine – is no match for Trump-style extremism. The decision to
run one against the other is what sealed our fate. If we learn nothing
else, can we please learn from that mistake?
