Let us just hope that the man realises now that he has a duty of care to everyone

His acceptance speech gave me a glimmer of hope

Let us reflect and give the man the chance to prove to the world that he isn't a brainless fucktard. 

God bless America indeed

God bless the world.

Instead of African Americans, this time it's average middle/lower class white people. Health care is through the roof for most people making ends meet despite the AHC act, jobs and wages are stagnant, manufacturing is outsourced to other countries, we're still mired in Middle East bullshit ... and on and on.  Angry voters don't vote for the status quo.  Hillary Clinton was absolutely the worst choice as the Democratic pick - a combination of entitled arrogance and corruption that alienated far too many voters in what should have been a slam dunk election.  She won the obvious big Liberal strongholds like CA, NY and IL but she couldn't carry most of the other states her team thought were in the bag.

The downside, at the very least the AHC act may be in jeopardy and it's likely Trump and Co will pick more than one new (Right-leaning) Supreme Court Justice in the next four years tipping the scales towards the Right.  Abortion rights may be challenged in the near future.
