Honestly, I think we have to throw history out the window. What we’re experiencing in 2016 is unprecedented. Every few decades our country experiences significant changes in politics, culture, technology, or some other aspect of society that turns out to be tectonic in magnitude. And like other watershed moments in American history, they’re difficult to define or predict as they’re happening. Although people acknowledge that there seems to be a significant shift in political attitudes, they won’t likely know what hit them until it’s long over.
Actually Trump represents a return to more sane pro American economic polices. The last 30 years the USA has experimented with radical economic policies, examples being off shoring and “Free Trade”. This radical experiment was done on an unprecedented scale which has virtually ruined the USA economy. The average American has had enough.
