How do we reconcile the results of the 2016 election with the reality that the nation is now more ethnically and racially diverse than at any other time since WWII? What does 2016 help us understand about the future of American elections? What are the likely consequences of the choices our country’s leaders and citizens make on future generations of Americans?
