The establishment get another kick in the balls. While I don't agree with Brexit or Trump I totally understand why this is happening in the world. People are fed up of the political corrupt elite of which Clinton perhaps is the most guilty of being in America. It is true that these trade deals have gone along way to destroying the lives of many hardworking people in first world countries like the UK and the US. Trump is a terrible man, just like Farage, but their message however unrealistic was one that people wanted to believe and stand behind. Global economics on the grandiose scale seen over the last few decades has wrecked communities and the prospects of generations of people. When given the chance to have their voice heard the people have made their stance.
Just like how in the UK the Labour party had veered to far to the centre right, the same could be said of the Democrats. Now Corbyn is in charge and the SNP have control of Scotland. The Democrats just like Labour had become severely out of touch with their supporters. If they had elected Bernie Sanders things would have been different. Clinton had so much baggage while Sanders had none and also the right message, but the corrupt political elite made sure he didn't win. Sanders' message was actually very similar to Donald Trump just without the venom.
Anyone surprised by Trumps victory (which after Brexit I doubt anyone really is) should watch Trumps last ad and the message it portrays.
Forgetting everything Trump ever said in this insane campaign, forgetting how in all likelihood he isn't capable of producing such change, forgetting the wall, sexual assaults, Muslim bans the lot of it. Forgetting all that for one moment, that ad is perfect. It sums up how many people in the US and all around the world feel, especially here in the UK too. That message won through to the moderates, it shouldn't have been enough to forget all of Trumps misdemeanors but it was. I've watched the ad a few times and honestly it's pretty inspirational, it's hard to admit that but it's the truth.
I have no idea what the next 4 years will be like for Global Politics, as if Brexit wasn't enough. But the old establishment has had it's ass kicked. Through that we got Corbyn, I suspect through that we'll also get Sanders or someone similar. That's the silver lining I find in all of this.
