People have done it and done it again.
Be it Brexit, or be it this US elections or even 2014 Loksbha elections, people have really showed the power or you can say misuse (depending on which side you are) of democracy..
The fact that a bigot, a racist, a misogynist has won it in USA so convincingly is a vindication of the fact that people are tired of the rhetoric, of the same diplomacies being followed since time immemorial, of the fake liberal and pseudo secular garments that politicians wear in public for fear of losing their votebanks.
Yes, people are tired and afraid of the terror in the name of religion and are ready to elect anyone who dares to call a spade a spade which is the need of the hour.
An honest face, however evil, will stand a good chance in this Kalyug..
This I believe, is the real victory as well as the testing times for the democracy..
And a clear shift of power to centre-right from the extreme left and the rise of nation-centric politics
A tough time to be a pseudo-secular intellectual liberal anywhere in the world..
On a lighter note, in one of his pre election speeches Modi had snidely remarked in a moment of hyper nationalism that a day will come when the Western citizens, Americans in particular, will come rushing and wait outside Ahmedabad airport for Visa..
If Trump follows the Kejriwalian route, I see that day coming..
Cheers..
LET'S MAKE INDIA GREAT AGAIN.
