People hate to hear it, but Trump is the evidence that democracy is (well maybe was, 10 years ago) still working.
The republican party treated him like a joke candidate and the media did too. Similar thing with the tea baggers, a contingent of outsider congressmen elected on the back of Obama being a communist or something.
The left hasn't really had this moment because the left is closer to a catty book club than an army regiment.
I strongly agree. Further, it has been a great test of the strength of institutions. We now know which can be bent and which cannot. The SC, for example, has overwhelmingly ruled against this administration, and with almost no exceptions, the rulings have been followed.
