2008 seems pretty realigning when you consider the fact that the Global Financial Crisis and Barack Obama's presidency is what initially set the stage for a neo-populist movement; 2016 just showed us the failures that the hourglass "Obama coalition" created.
I imagine that rise of a neo-populist, nativist movement is probably going to be a hallmark of Western politics for the next 20 to 30 years, and 2008 seems like the logical place to start that rise.
We just entered a new party system that is still defining itself as we shake the old "left" vs. "right" moral crusades that have defined the "culture wars" of the past 50 years, we shouldn't expect a realignment until after mid-Century probably.
