The more interesting question is what role did the recoil against postmodernism play in the election of Donald Trump? You can't reason with postmodernists since they eschew science and evidence-based reason as tools of oppression. They are quite literally unreasonable. This is not a trivial concern - since they can't be reasoned with I know of several people who took a "Fuck it. Burn it." approach to the election of Donald Trump (I don't agree with that strategy, but that's another matter). That's purely anecdotal, but it does make one wonder what role it played on sending Donald Trump to the White House and what role it might play on his staying there in 2021.
