This is a true historical pivot point. In my opinion.

Over the last 4 years I've seen a shift in Canadian politics to the alt-right, politicans running on QAnon and other conspiracies. We just had the dirtiest municipal election I've ever seen where two candidates basically just attacked the front runners, made stuff up, lied and tried to bring down the decorum and debate at every turn. The sentiment of "I was elected, if the people want to elect someone who breaks the law and violates, our rules that's their prerogative!" is becoming accepted even here.
In the private world, I see many more "Screw the policies, norms, and by-laws I'm doing what I want, try and stop me!"
These things weren't issues prior to Trump.
Where the US goes, the rest follow.
