We are living in the Trump Reaction , says Julian Zelizer .

Zelizer: By the standard of its predecessors, we’re still at the beginning of the new era.

Trump ’s basic appeal is a vow to take power away from elites and return the country to its rightful owners, Zelizer says.

Trump 's victory demonstrated the appeal's breadth among all ages, ethnicities, and races.

Julian Zelizer : The Democratic Party finds itself on the wrong side of a historic swing toward right-wing populism.

The mood in America , as in electorates all over the world, is profoundly anti-establishment, Zelizer writes.

Democrats have become the party of institutionalists, he says.

Zelizer says it was hard to miss the broken landscape that lay open for Trump .

Frida Ghitis : The Trump Reaction is more fragile than it now seems.

She says it's possible that, approaching 80 , Trump will find himself among the least popular presidents in the country’s history.
