Will there be policy changes? Of course. Some will be good, some bad. Then we'll have another election. It's not the end of the world.
All the policy decisions will be bad. Trump has positioned the worst people to do every single job.
He's picked a fascist a climate change denier and a creationist among his top picks. At this moment in time I expect that sorry bunch to screw at least the USA but possibly the rest of the planet in a way that I fear will be irreversible.
This is a pivot point in history and it went the wrong way.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
