In case you haven’t noticed, Donald Trump is still president. Not only that, political parties with similar views are gaining ground around the world. This is a frustrating setback for the nation's center-left leaders, who hoped after 2016 that the far right would be a passing phenomenon. Zack Beauchamp attended a global gathering of liberals in Canada with Prime Minister Mark Carney and found attendees were preparing for a longer-term plan to deal with the right. It starts with treating them as … normal.
