A month on from Trump’s seismic victory, Democrats are still in denial about the significance of their defeat. Party elites think slicker messaging alone can claw back lost support. Here, Michael Lind – author of Hell to Pay and The New Class War – explains why this is so delusional. Identitarianism, illegal immigration and green extremism made America ripe for a populist revolt. Lind also weighs in on the tensions in the MAGA movement and the farmers’ protests in Europe.
