Johnson's legacy will endure -- look at Trump

[html]Does Boris Johnson's downfall mark the end of an era? He and former President Donald Trump dominated the world stage over the past few years, pushing forward explosive policies that broke sharply with their nation's long-held core positions. For Johnson, his biggest legacy as prime minister will be his embrace of nationalism by enacting Brexit and breaking the United Kingdom away from the European Union. For Trump, it will be his privileging of an America First agenda and weakening ties with key allies while pushing domestic policy sharply to the right on issues such as immigration and climate change. And, of course, Trump's campaign to overturn the 2020 presidential election opened a new and dangerous door for anti-democratic forces within the US.
