But those who voted for him: Don't forget what he told you, what he promised you, on what he ran, keep him to his promises. I seldomly was so certain about something than I am about this: Donald Trump will not be able or even wiling to keep them, your country's situation will be worsening, he will not deliver and disappoint. And democrats should probably prepare for a huge pendulum swing within four years, combined with an enormous call for damage control. Trump is an imposter, always was, the right-wing populists all are. They are effective - persuasive - against political power, but non-functional once in power, they are nothing but a smokescreen, a bluff now forced to show his hand. This is a huge designed belly-flop for the US, it can't be anything else, from all I've seeen and known. So I say, Trump voters, don't forget, and at some point feel angry about the demagogue that solved nothing, that did nothing for you, that sold you false dreams and betrayed you. You can call me a twaddler or a drivelling idiot now, and fair enough. Just give it time. As long as you don't turn blind, you'll get there.
As I said, I am so certain - and still somehow hoping I'm wrong. I still like the US, albeit to a lesser extent right now. As for the Non-Trumpers: Hang in there. You lost people, they'll come back, just be the better half of the divided country, work against the divide. Be tolerant and don't alienate moderates by calling people names and all that. Populists don't hang on too long, they get demystified quickly, I've seen that in my country in a tiny nutshell. But the "Trump people" will still be there, and most of them probably don't "really" qualify as sexist or racist etc. I think it's important to keep that in mind. It's not my smarts speaking, but my experience.
LOL.
