In New York Magazine’s November 14-27, 2016, issue, Rebecca Traister looks at how Hillary Clinton took aim, for the second time, at the highest and hardest glass ceiling, and how what broke instead was the coalition she thought would pierce it — and faith that it will happen. Also in the issue, Jonathan Chait writes on what Democrats in Congress should do now; Lisa Miller on what she said to her daughter; Rembert Browne on how Trump flipped political correctness squarely on its head; Andrew Sullivan on the experiment in democracy that may not reach its 250th birthday; Mark Jacobson on the Trump voters who’d become his friends; Frank Rich on the farce and tragedy of #NeverTrump; Carl Swanson on how his parents voted for Trump, and he didn’t try to do anything about it; Jerry Saltz on how pain is good for art; a Syrian refugee on Trump’s election; and more.

On the concept behind the cover image, print editor Jared Hohlt says: “We wanted the cover’s energy to speak to other times of great political uncertainty and upheaval in our nation’s recent history.”
