I don't live in the US (anymore), so it doesn't really affect me.
You bring up some valid points. But a lot of what you mention is very much bound to state administration and legislation. Of course federal laws and the supreme court can have a big impact, but the states still have a lot of say in the matter.
And even if Clinton had won, with the current climate, she wouldn't get much through Congress or Senate.
Then again, a different candidate than her might have helped to flip the senate.
What I mostly meant by that: it's done, he won. Have to deal with it now.

Nor do I, but this person is the standard bearer for the stable world order that has helped lift many of us out of poverty, and has promised to continue doing so.
That world order is pretty chill, in comparison to historical standards. It seems rash to claim maintaining it doesn't matter, and that's exactly what this rich white man has campaigned on.
