This a thousand times over. Trump seized on the same sentiment moving worldwide. We can mock Trump and his supporters all we want, lord knows I do as well, but the anti-establishment, nationalist ideals are what needs to be better understood. Left leaning parties need to stop dismissing such a growing movement (eg basket of deplorable s) as they need to govern everyone if they win. Right minded individuals and parties need to figure out how to speak with what is now a big chunk of their base, understand them better, win their trust but not have their every policy and ideal co-opted by this group.
