Goodbye, democracy — it’s Trump’s America now 

The election is over. Anyone who has read anything I have written for the last eight years knows that I am appalled by the result. But the people have spoken and a majority of Americans have willingly returned Donald Trump to the presidency.

If we go by the book, we’re all supposed to acknowledge the election results and cheerfully commit to fighting the good fight for the next four years while looking forward to better times in 2028. I’m not sure I can do that. 

It’s tempting to try to what-if this result.
