Pollsters, Democrats, and liberals in general once again underestimated the enthusiasm and numerical strength of Trump supporters such as Schoor. When Donald Trump appeared before workers and farmers in his red baseball cap, he articulated their antipathies coarsely but effectively. Even without Trump as president, the GOP (Grand Old Party) will remain his party for a long time. But this doesn’t mean that history would have taken the same course without Churchill, or indeed Hitler. But it will be essential for a progressive party to link itself once more to the underprivileged, not only on the grounds of racial justice, necessary though that may be.
