Revolution
According to Karl Marx, there can be no change without a revolution. But does that always need to mean the use of force? Trump claims that his win was a movement. That the "fly over country" people were tired of remaining unheard and taken for granted. In state after state they came out in droves to hear Trump, who spoke to the very things they wanted -- no, make that NEEDED to hear. Those big rallies turned into votes, first in primaries, then for President. Wasn't that that a revolution? Trump represents an entirely new type of candidate which translates into an entirely new kind of President. Not a lawyer, but an accomplished business man. Not a smooth orator, but a kitchen table speaker wearing his heart on his sleeve. Not a cautious person putting forth a careful agenda, but boldly announcing what his plans were and confidently telling the people that, not only will it be done, but it will be done quickly.
Is he just a good actor? Is this another "All The King's Men?" Will he become a dictator? Or is he an honest revolutionary who truly is, "what you see, is what you get?" If he carries out even half of what he claims, I think history might just call it the "Trump Revolution."
