Sigh, the only think positive I can imagine coming out of this is that now, I get four years I can make fun of how stupid American's are.
As the country descends into chaos and non of Trump's promises comes truth I can sit in my couch and keep repeating: "I told you so!"
Good thing Republican's get all the power. Now they fully own all the shit that is to come. They wont be able to blame that on anybody else.
I think Brexit and the Trump victory has hammered home that democracy in its current form doesn't work. It has no mechanism to protect itself against stupidity and ignorance.
Or perhaps it is a warning to every country about what happens when economic inequality gets too bad. Before you know it the crazies will grab power.
I hope the rich elites are horrified today. Because they have created this monster, by consistently funding efforts working against the interests of the middle class and eroding it. Now it has blown up in their face.
I almost feel a slight schadenfreude over the trade wars which will follow with China and Mexico and all the businesses which will lose money over this.

This is one of the main reasons why the founders of the US constitution feared direct democracy, and only gave the populous the ability to directly elect House members that serve only two year-terms. We now have something closer to a direct democracy, with the electoral college as an artifact.
