In just two months' time, the world will bid farewell to President Obama. In his final overseas trip before exiting the White House next January, Mr. Obama stood alongside his German counterpart Angela Merkel at a press conference in Berlin, warning against a "meaner, harsher, more troubled world."
In the wake of last week's stunning electoral victory by Donald Trump and the Republican Party, he seemed a diminished figure, as did Mrs. Merkel, the guardian of a liberal ancien regime that is beginning to crumble on both sides of the Atlantic.
The winds of change are sweeping through the West, challenging decades of conventional wisdom, overturning the dominant liberal consensus, and reviving a greater sense of national identity and self-determination. Without a doubt, the extraordinary victory by the Vote Leave campaign in Britain's EU referendum was a precursor to the November presidential election in the US, with an emphatic humbling of the political establishment against all odds and all expectations. Though the Brexit campaign was in many respects different to that of Mr. Trump in both style and messaging, both succeeded in delivering a political earthquake that shook the global political order.

Hello, Mr Obama you’re the one who helped create “meaner harsher more troubled world” than we had 8 years ago!
Democrats have not been classical liberals for decades. They are progressives which is the soft soap word for communists.
Now there’s a look more in line with his talents!
"The Left creates nothing. It can only destroy."
We won a battle on Nov 8 but the War continues. . Eternal Vigilance. .
Well, he was a circus organizer for 8 yrs.
An excellent point. The school system has effectively become indoctrination central. Instead of teaching essential learning skills to students they are brainwashing them in liberal ideology. Time to put an end to it.
Yeah but don’t count the libtards just yet. The left doesn’t give up they circle around and come back
I first heard the phrase,”Liberalism is dead when Ragan was elected”. History tells what transpired since then. Liberalism will never die or sleep because Liberalism is evil. Evil never dies, rests, or sleeps. It is always lurking in the shadows waiting for the opportunity to raise its evil head and do its wicked deeds.
Satan does not sleep
You are not watching Europe.
Liberalism ain’t dead, but it has hit a major rough patch here in the U.S. because we’re bankrupt and can’t afford stupidity anymore.
When the welfare state is dismantled I’ll believe it. Liberalism is like Ebola. It comes in and destroys and goes away for a while.
And what a mess they are leaving behind........
We are witnessing it for now, but they will be back. We must keep vigilant.
Liberals are like Herpes.
TRANSI/LIB/PROGS are like ticks on dogs, you can achieve some measure of control but they always come back to suck your blood.
Reagan choosing a Democrat in an R jersey named Bush ensured what followed.
It is the end of the Democratic Progressive liberal era and just maybe the start of a new classical liberal era. We use reclaim the proper and right meaning of the word.
