I didn't vote for him. And I honestly think he's an idiot. More importantly, his campaign built on fear and xenophobia says lot about who he was trying to attract as supporters.
He willingly and frequently lied to his own supporters, promising things his presidency didn't have the power to accomplish, and providing vague hyperbole rather than specifics.
Make no mistake, he has the house and the Senate now. His supporters should hold his feet to the fire. There is no reason he can't give them everything he promised. No one is there to stand in his way.
I know the US will be fine. This isn't the end of the world. It's a sad reflection on a lot of hate that people seem to have held. But America will be fine. Odds are those most hurt by a Trump presidency will be those who voted for him. I'll be fine. Probably better off.
But I hope he does better than he promised he would. I hope that when actual problems face him he won't treat them the same way he's treated adversity on the campaign trail (poorly and unpresidentially). We will see.
But if things go south, the Republicans have no one to blame but themselves.
