If you lurk liberal sites they keep bringing up this thing called “the blob” and blaming them for Biden being less hawkish.
I think they’re referring to a handful of Dem policy makers who are less anti-interventionist who are connected cuz they went to the same college or something. But it’s making them sound like conspiracy turds.
Edit: apparently I’ve gotten it backwards, the Blob are hawkish Libs, the idea being that the DNC establishment is far more hawkish than then the voting base and the blob is to blame. I guess there’s just some firery debate over whether this is a good thing or not.
That's the opposite way I've heard blob used. Usually it refers to the bureaucracy, think tanks etc. that drive US imperial policy. It's described as a blob because, like the monster in the movie, it has no head and just pushes forward relentlessly aligning other elements of the state with itself.
Edit: just saw your edit. It doesn't refer just to libs but the entire engine driving the empire. This includes the military, intelligence agencies, think tanks, and defense industry. These groups in turn have successfully coopted most of the media (usually thru being special sources) and electeds (often thru pork barrel). These groups make up the blob.
