Trump and Trumpism are likely here to stay for years, history suggests. Over the years, they lower norms of behavior in politics and infiltrate a party with narrow loyalists. It’s part of an international trend toward “elected autocrats.” Some hope a landslide loss will end the fever. I fear that it will just enrage the already enraged, and also tempt President Hillary Clinton to write off the deplorables.
The GOP nominee and his followers will be a force in U.S. politics for years to come.
