The imminent return to the White House of someone as opposed to progressive values as Donald Trump might seem like an odd moment to point to a silver lining, but bear with me.
As we begin, it's worth sifting through the Biden administration's record for policies worth preserving-because there are some. The most significant is his break from the neoliberal economic and trade policies that enriched multinational corporations at the expense of American workers.
Just as we decide which Biden policies are the baby and which are the bathwater, we should do the same for Trump. While we absolutely must not understate the danger that a Trump restoration poses to our democracy, we also need to avoid thinking that reflexive resistance to anything Trump does is an effective way to defend democracy.
Now progressives have an opportunity to chart a new course, to define a foreign policy more fit for the United States, and the world, of today.
