Has Donald Trump brought politics into the general people's popular spectrum, or is it just a fad?

.

no way a fad,

it's a historical repeat :

the politically failed establishment, in this case the center-left and center- right in the US and Euro,

has caused the rise of the populists and nationalists.

dt doesnt have an ideology, he's basically apolitical;

he has a tactic: demagogery;

plus, he applied that to a problem a large majority of voters have been angry abt for decades :

illegal aliens.

the failed establishment, Dems & Gop, have ignored and worsened that prob for many yrs.

So now the gop's fighting a losing battle for its life,

and hillary has had some shocks from anti establishment Sanders.

exactly the same thing in Euro, Open Borders champion Angela Merkel in Germany was just dealt a strong defeat by the upstart AdF party, described both as populist and nationalist, that's strongly anti-immigrant.

“could gain enough momentum to overturn the political establishment :

“these populist forces are unmistakable and

“bear a very strong resemblance to what we’ve seen historically

as countervailing power grew strong enough to force major political change.”

Most political analysts continue to be caught off guard by this populist upsurge bc

“they’r always looking in the rear-view mirror…”

"...the tipping point [when populist power displaces establishment power] comes very quickly.”
