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.
