Americans’ choices in Tuesday’s presidential race will continue the dramatic transformation of two major parties that, like the country itself, are in massive transition
The Republicans and Democrats have been trading places atop American politics, and trading constituencies, for 168 years. A person departs after casting their early ballot on the last day of early voting in Michigan on Nov. 3.The outcome of the deadlocked, down-to-the-wire American presidential election defies confident prediction, but the contours and consequences of the bitter, sometimes rancid, and seemingly endless campaign already are clear.
“We sometimes think that the Democrats are defined by identity and culture, but the whole Trump movement is rooted in identity and culture.” Though Mr. Trump speaks about making America great again, his emergence as a formidable force in American politics is as much a sweeping rebellion against the recent past as it is a movement determined to shape the American future. It represents a rejection not only of the Democratic Party but, just as important, of the Republican Party as well.
