This period began when Trump pushed baseless claims that immigrants in Ohio were stealing and eating household pets. It ended with him facing attacks over his support of the Republican candidate for governor in North Carolina, who referred to himself as a “black Nazi” on the message board of a pornographic website. And in between, he urged a government shutdown, elevated a Sept. 11 conspiracy theorist, declared “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” on social media after she endorsed his rival and warned that “the Jewish people” would be responsible if he lost the election.

But this year, the nation has met the crush of chaos with little more than a shrug and, some strategists say, a desire to tune out the campaign altogether.

His win comes amid a wave of anger with the leadership that led to a national economic crisis and crushing hardship for many Sri Lankans. Sri Lanka’s political landscape was shattered by widespread protests two years ago, culminating in the resignation of its strongman president, Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who fled the capital city, Colombo. In recent years, Dissanayake led a rebranding effort of his leftist party, Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna, by softening its radical positions and pitching the party as the alternative to the established political order. Dissanayake’s immediate challenge will be forming his cabinet. In Sri Lanka’s system, cabinet ministers must come from the Parliament, where his party has only three seats.
