This foreign policy of interventionism, argues Blumenthal, is shared by both major parties in America, even if the Democrats try to maintain a less bloodthirsty image. Overseen by John Podesta, the think tank was farming out its staff to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, along with the foreign policy orthodoxy—the "Washington playbook"—they adhered to with almost religious dedication. If Trump had won, the National Security State would’ve done everything it could to continue America's (management of) savagery with or without his okay, or even his knowledge. With the Biden win, the National Security State proceeds as normal, with full approval. And, more Bidens—more national security insiders—mean more populists like Trump, only they may be smarter and better organized next time.
