Biden Will Likely Be Worse Than Obama. The Left Must Lead The Backlash, Or The Right Will.

It looks like a safe bet that Joe Biden will be sworn in after successfully campaigning on returning the murderous and oppressive Orwellian US empire back to its pre-Trump "normal".
The problem with this that it's just re-creating the conditions which gave rise to Trump.

Trying to undo the damage of Trump by returning to the conditions which created Trump is like using a time machine to prevent a train wreck, but only going back to one millisecond before the train wreck occurred.
It is clear that Trump's election was the result of the easily exploited dissatisfaction caused by years of neoliberal austerity at home and neoconservative bloodshed abroad which Obama forcefully expanded and facilitated throughout two terms as president. https://www.truthdig.com/articles/barack-obamas-neoliberal-legacy-rightward-drift-and-donald-trump-2/
Trump voters famously defended opting for the reality TV star over the anointed establishment favorite Hillary Clinton as a middle finger to the Beltway orthodoxy which did nothing but enrich the "swamp" Trump pretended to oppose on the campaign trail. https://www.theatlantic.com/notes/2016/11/i-voted-for-the-middle-finger-the-wrecking-ball/507533/
And from all appearances it looks like Biden is going to be worse.
Unlike Obama, Biden did not campaign on hope and change, he campaigned on opposing the socialist inclinations of Sanders progressives and an aggressive foreign policy of world domination. https://nypost.com/2020/10/06/joe-biden-distances-himself-from-socialists/

He assured rich donors that nothing will fundamentally change under his presidency and his transition team is full of corporate sociopaths, war pigs and propagandists. https://twitter.com/kgosztola/status/1326387797347930114
Biden has been a corporatist warmongering authoritarian throughout his entire career, and as his mental capacity continues to deteriorate he will function as nothing more than an empty vessel for his establishment handlers to use how they see fit. https://www.currentaffairs.org/2020/03/democrats-you-really-do-not-want-to-nominate-joe-biden
The empire has not gotten less desperate since Obama was in office, it has gotten more desperate. https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2018/03/02/the-us-empire-is-acting-like-a-desperate-cornered-animal-because-thats-what-it-is/
If I prove right about this, the Biden administration *will* generate backlash just like that which arose in response to the Obama administration, and that backlash *will* be more severe than its previous iteration. This is absolutely guaranteed.
There is absolutely nothing American leftists can do to prevent this backlash from coming. They will have absolutely no say in this administration's policies or behavior; BidenCorp has made no pretense of having any interest in listening to them. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-election-2020/bernie-sanders-elizabeth-warren-biden-cabinet-b1721241.html
