This was not a content between Republicans and Democrats! This was the ultrawealthy taking control of the country and discarding democracy. This has been underway since Reagan was taught to to say "trickle down economics," and it's not difficult to trace the carefully planned steps, e.g., Citizens United, until greed won. Watch for more tax cuts for the wealthy, for abandonment of any supervision of large corporations, decimation of the IRS and the Justice Department, and corruption of the operating departments of the Federal government. Trump won because of the huge amounts of money, much of it spent behind the scenes, coupled with the economic ignorance of most of the American public. As one of my colleagues said, "They got to keep their guns, but they won't be able to afford any ammunition." Inflation if valuable to those wealthy enough to not care about the price of groceries, and we'll get plenty of it asap. The rich will get richer, and the rest of us will suffer. It's an old story, repeated once again, that depends upon a gullible public that's easily manipulated.
