‘America doesn’t believe its own story anymore’

Nick Gillespie on how 9/11 and the war on terror turned the US against itself Gillespie-1536x864

Twenty years after 9/11, America feels diminished. The war on terror, launched in the wake of the attacks, has ended in failure with the fall of Afghanistan. The Biden administration was supposed to herald the return of American ‘global leadership’. But it has bungled its first big foreign-policy test, and it lacks the support it needs at home to unite the country. The image of the US as a self-confident global power seems to belong firmly in the past.

Nick Gillespie is editor-at-large of Reason. He joined spiked’s editor for the latest episode of The Brendan O’Neill Show. What follows is an edited extract from their conversation. Listen to the full episode here.

Brendan O’Neill: When Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were elected, there was so much discussion about the ‘return of the adults’ after four years of mayhem and chaos under Donald Trump. It doesn’t seem to have worked out like that, particularly when you think about the Afghanistan situation. Was it just a myth that Biden and Harris were the adults?

Nick Gillespie: There were all these memes at the beginning of the year about how 2020 was finally over and 2021 was going to be a different year. It’s different, but it’s as bad, or even worse.

It’s a massive misconception that who the president is dictates much of anything. Trump was problematic for any number of reasons. But he was the product of a form of electoral, cultural, political and economic chaos in America. And so is Biden. At least Trump was insurgent. Now we have Biden, who has effectively been in power for over 50 years. He is the accumulated detritus of 50 years of terrible American governance. Everything that is wrong with the American political system is baked into Biden, more so than Trump.
