Trump 2.0: Learning the Hard Lessons

By The Editors

Donald Trump won. What now? Here at Democracy, that’s the question that hasn’t left our minds since November 6. So we asked some of the smartest thinkers and political analysts we know to examine the different facets of our new reality: Why did our warnings about democracy fall short? Why didn’t abortion rights prove decisive? And looking forward, what lessons can we learn about working-class voters and immigration and how Americans regard the institutions Democrats reflexively defend? The election was close. We should not panic. But neither should we shy away from learning hard lessons.
