First of all, even though I agree with you that Trump is loathsome to say the least, calling the other side of the aisle stupid is not quite right. Least ways, not for me. I have to believe that other people have perspectives that are valid, even if different than my own. In this case it takes a lot of faith to hold that belief. If nothing else, out of respect for other others I must act in this manner.
As to what do I expect the American people to do, they just did it. They told Washington you don't listen to us. They thought Hillary had this wrapped up and didn't. Maybe they will take a step back and listen better.
Bottom line, I have to find a way to try and remain optomistic.
