America’s normalcy delusion
Dec 27,2020 - Last updated at Dec 27,2020
MEXICO CITY US President-elect Joe Biden made a “return to normalcy” one of his election campaign’s leitmotifs. After four years of President Donald Trump’s bald-faced lies, juvenile bullying, gratuitous cruelty, and perilous volatility, it was certainly an appealing promise. But, as Biden himself has admitted, the world is not what it was in January 2017, when Barack Obama’s administration, in which Biden served as vice president, left office. So, to what exactly is he planning to return?
To be sure, Biden can certainly restore a sense of decorum and decency to the US presidency. But on concrete policy issues, especially foreign-policy issues, the status quo ante will be far more difficult, if not impossible, to revive.
