Planes did not fall from the sky, cats and dogs are not having sex, and we did not become citizens of an angry deplorable racist country. 
The major news media outlets are filling the airspace with even more irrelevant information than they gave us during the election. 
This election result is about the dissatisfaction of the people of this country with the ever expanding economic inequality and the social unrest it creates. A disdain for news outlets that spew vile political partisan commentary in place of objective information designed to inform. Most of all the failed political, economic, and social system based solely on money and the power it bestows.
We have a chance to make a break with the past status quo by being more involved and holding elected officials to a higher standard of conduct.
We must do better; get to work, get involved.
 The politics of the past is dead. Public policy is no longer determined by "what's good for business".
