Biden Replaces Trump: A Malignant “Normalcy” Is Restored
The defeat of Donald Trump came as a deliverance to millions of Americans after four years of political hell. It was greeted by mass spontaneous outbursts of joy and relief.

Biden’s win is the triumph not of democracy but of an oligarchic status quo, itself an increasingly authoritarian system. And I suggest that the conclusions to be drawn from the election point toward a different perspective going forward for the left.

In a year with a never-ending news cycle, it can be hard to recall the important moments that defined Syracuse in 2020.
