BURNING MAN: Protesters burn an effigyof Donald Trump in Los Angeles. His victory has made it harder for centrists to close their eyes and hope the surge of nationalism will just disappear.
IS THERE REALLY an international wave of a hard-right populism? Are the masses rising up around the world to topple corrupt elites? Or is talk of this colossal political shift just jargon, guff and cocktail chatter concocted by analysts searching for patterns when the victories of Donald Trump in the United States presidential election and Britain’s decision to leave the European Union—to name the two most significant results in the West—could just be unconnected blips?
YOU’RE HIRED: One of the most sobering aspects of Trump’s victory was his warmth toward prominent authoritarian leaders and foreign politicians with alarming views.
