You take the good, you take the bad, and there you have... universal suffrage. **** happens. Like when all those democrats in Egypt overthrew their dictator and elected a religious doofus, and then the dictator started looking good again. It was a fair contest, if anything biased for the Establishment candidate, and yet "the People" are sovereign. So, what do you want now? A military coup? Restriction of the franchise to the propertied classes? To 100+ IQ? There are just as many racists and homophobes as there were 48 hrs ago - the identity of the election winner didn't change that. Lynchings of minorities are no more likely now than under president Clinton. Or are you expecting Trump to order State Troopers out to round up the malcontents? Nothing will happen - no man, no matter how bombastic, can overcome the inertia of a modern bureaucracy - things will go on as before.
