With the benefit of a couple of days of reflection....

....I still think the election of Trump is the most stupid, self-destructive thing any electorate has done in my lifetime. And the fallout has begun already, with numerous reports, as in the aftermath of the Brexit vote, of naked bigotry, particularly racist bigotry, and even violence against those perceived as 'the other'. And plenty of gloating from those who now consider themselves to be the 'chosen ones', which, in Trumpland, basically means straight, white, Christian (however nominally, eh, Donald?) males. If you don't fall into that demographic, you're at best a second-class citizen, and at worst concentration camp fodder. Good luck, America, making it through to the next election. If there is a next election.

Love & best wishes to all
