For a variety of reasons, the liberal facade, so carefully nutured and constructed, is cracking open and chunks are falling off, revealing something very different underneath the 'democratic' surface. Trump and the people around him are a brutal, barely hidden facet of what'll come to characterise the future, as the contradictions, competition and decline of the West become more and more apparent. I think liberal democracy was always a kind of 'luxury' paid for by and economic order called...Empire. Take that away and the harsh inequalities and polarisation put incredibly stress on society ripping it apart.
