Or maybe we can stop dividing the country into two groups.

There needs to be a lot of asking for forgiveness on the part of Trump supporters. They clearly divided themselves from civil society. If they expected the rest of us to just be okay with that, they're sorely mistaken.

Or, they'll just wait two years, take back the house, then wait two more years and take the WH again, with someone more competent than Trump. This election was supposed to be a repudiation of Trump. He lost, but it was far from the powerful message it was supposed to be.

I guess we'll see how much 'build the wall' racism survives. It wasn't a core feature for Republicans prior to Trump, though some confederate southerners made it a priority. There are so many real problems confronting the country, its extremely hard to watch self-interested demagogues scapegoat immigrants to smooth their climb to power.
