Mike Allen, co-editor of Axios, one of the currently leading “inside the Beltway” outfits parading as “news outlets” (despite Axios’s well-known ties to Israeli intelligence), issued a dramatic warning on Thursday afternoon that the American political and economic elite has lost political control over the citizens of the United States. Allen’s screed reveals the panic seizing the no-longer-so-powerful Establishment whose interests Axios serves.
The story was headlined “America’s Great Political Implosion.”
“Everything is up for grabs—and wildly uncertain. House and Senate control are coin tosses in November’s midterms, the 2028 presidential races are wide open, and both parties are equally despised by the electorate,” he exclaimed. Furthermore, “a generational collapse in support for Israel is remaking both parties—while surging antisemitism clouds the increasingly toxic debate. The numbers are brutal: Pew Research found 60% of Americans now view Israel unfavorably, including 80% of Democrats and 57% of Republicans under 50.”
He included among his longer listing of evidence of this political breakdown, that:
“The populist forces Trump awakened are devouring the establishment, inflamed by a cross-partisan blend of endless war, soaring prices and elite impunity…
“On the right, a historic schism over the meaning of `America First’ has left Trump’s broad 2024 coalition in tatters….
“On the left, establishment Democrats fear a socialist `Tea Party’ has arrived—toppling incumbents, humiliating party leaders and turning safe blue seats into laboratories for a more confrontational politics….”
And, he repeated: “Trump is deeply unpopular. But the tectonic shifts transforming the two parties—and the country—make 2026 and 2028 impossible to forecast.”
