Trump has put an end to an era. The future is up for grabs.
Kamala Harris lost the presidential election, but one of her campaign slogans was vindicated in defeat. «We're not going back!» the Democratic nominee insisted on the campaign trail, and she was unintentionally correct: Donald Trump's return to power is proof that we have lived through a real turning point in history, an irrevocable shift from one era to the next.
In Trump's first term, he did not look like a historically transformative president. His victory was narrow. He lacked real majority support. He was swiftly unpopular and stymied and harassed.
Even if his 2016 upset proved that discontent with the official consensus of the Western world ran unexpectedly deep, the way he governed made it easy to regard his presidency as accidental and aberrant — a break from a «normal» world of politics that some set of authority figures could successfully reimpose.
Much of the opposition to his presidency was organized around this hope, and the election of Joe Biden seemed like vindication: Here was the restoration, the return of the grown-ups, normality restored.
But somewhere in this drama, probably somewhere between the first reports of a deadly flu in Wuhan, China, and Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, one of history's wheels turned irrevocably, and the normal that Trump's opponents aspired to recover slipped definitively into the past.
