Trump's Humiliating Defeat and a New Opportunity for America When a huge wave sweeps you off the board and swallows you underwater, you completely lose track of time and place. The Economist magazine wrote in its new editorial, borrowing from this metaphor, that on the third day of November (November 3), just such a disaster befell Donald Trump and his party, and tens of millions of American voters dealt a severe blow to their body politic. According to the authors of this publication, Republicans still do not understand how much their country has changed. It is now clear that this event was not just a typical midterm election swing to the detriment of the incumbent president, but, as the Economist described in its latest editorial, the biggest electoral tsunami since the Watergate scandal in more than half a century. In the coming days, two more great lessons will emerge from the heart of these elections. First, the result is not only a victory for the Democrats, but also an achievement for American democracy. Voters cannot be considered the absolute property of any party. The second lesson, along the same lines, is that both parties now need to find a new way of doing politics.
