Once we've licked our wounds, we should start planning for the 2018 midterms and beyond. If Trump succeeds in moving forward with parts of his agenda, many of his supporters may well become disillusioned.
Remember, a great number of those who cast their ballots for this president-elect are not vicious haters. Quite a few supported Bernie Sanders, switching their allegiances to Trump after Clinton's primary victory. They'll soon realize that The Donald is not their friend, especially once his administration cuts taxes for the wealthy and guts vital social programs.
2018 could provide the perfect opportunity to set the table for progressive programs. I'm convinced that Elizabeth Warren among other progressive luminaries has a significant political future. Onward!
