Challenging times may be ahead. I've seen a lot of demonising of politicians, journalists and others, but they are all people with human faults. Certain forces have done a lot to shake trust in the 'establishment', but then those institutions have let people down. As the saying goes, trust is hard to win and easy to lose. I think Trump exploits the uncertainty, but he is deliberately divisive and enables some nasty people. I hope the US democracy is strong enough to control him.

I was talking to some folks online earlier today trying to understand their point of view. I listened well and they made some good points, but the only thing it really solidified for me is that there is very little chance both sides will ever come to an agreement on anything like the did in the past. The hate and distrust is just too ingrained and established at this point.
