Sun Rand's rugged transformative individualism fails in actual practice across societal boundaries. Objectivism fails in every respect.

We just had 8 years of Obama, arguably the most liberal President ever.
And, he lost 1000 Democratic seats across government and 60% plus think the country is going in the wrong direction.
There is no other scenario in the cosmos that would have gotten Trump elected.
