I am not looking forward to the next four years. A demagogue in the Oval and a Republican-controlled Congress in the next two years means no immediate path to get him out.
There have been some hopeful signs in the past few days, in terms of people standing up for what's right and putting Trump on notice that he will have to listen to we the people.
There was also one incident that I have to give Trump props for (among thousands where he was awful, but still). After his meeting with President Obama, Trump said he wants to keep in law the requirement that health insurance has to cover pre-existing conditions. Someone said to Trump, "What about your campaign promise to repeal Obamacare completely?"
Trump replied, "Repeal and REPLACE. There will be a replacement law and it should include some good ideas from Obamacare." Hell yeah.
