How could Trump win after 8 years of hope and change? The left's failure to reconcile this point is the reason Trump won in the first place - smug self-righteous arrogance from "enlightened" progressives who live in a bubble and Trump popped it. Obama was a great orator but his government was highlight by "progressive" symbolism and partisan gridlock. Don't be surprised if the backlash to smug political correctness continues in Europe, the left only has themselves to blame.
