Well, that's an interesting analogy to run with. In this analogy, the shepherd boy is the Democrats and, well: the voters DID just decide to replace them. I'm not going to run with this TOO far, as there were a lot of factors behind this election. But I think it's fair to say that voters didn't see Dems as responsible guardians of the American Way, as they had defined themselves. Voters didn't think they had the credibility to paint Trump as a threat to democracy, and themselves as its reliable defender. And so, they were replaced. In that sense, maybe the story has already played out.
