We'll see, but I don't think this is the case. I don't think it's an accident that Trump emerged when he did and that a number of other nations saw a rise in similar forms of extremism to varying degrees at about the same time. We're not going to back to, for example, country-club Republicanism a la Romney and the Bushes no matter what happens to Trump. Modern democratic societies, especially but not soley the US, are more broken than that.
