US presidential vote ends peacefully but disunity remains
The United States presidential election has ended surprisingly quickly, not to mention, peacefully.
For the third election in a row, pollsters undercounted voters for Donald Trump by three to five points, denying the Democratic Party grounds to contest the results and forcing a quick concession.
I think people didn't want to see it coming, but we all knew what needed to be happen was going to happen, and it did.

I'm happy that we don't have all the uproars and all that stuff. I'm glad that it's over with. We (have) all been looking forward to it being over with, and it seems like it's going to be an easy transition.

Finger-pointing and an angry sadness have engulfed the Democratic Party.
Some supporters may drop out of politics, while others will try to revive their spirit of so-called resistance from Trump's first term.
I think we are exhausted, but yeah, I hope that people will show up. I think he obviously won the election, so I don't think we're here to protest the results. I think we're here to protest his presidency and the choices that he makes.

In 2016 Trump seemed unprepared for the Washington establishment's resistance to his calls to drain the swamp, but eight years, a half dozen court cases and one assassin's bullet through his ear later, his supporters think that this time will be different.
I think that he knows what he needs to do now, ... he knew who was going to be opposed to him in the past, and in 2016 he knew who to take out, but now he knows all the more. And I think he's definitely ready.

The Republicans won back control of the Senate, are on track to keep their majority in the lower house of Congress, won a modest majority of state governorships, gained a larger majority of state legislatures, and Trump will appoint any new members to an already conservative Supreme Court.
It seems fair to say that the genocide in Palestine swung the election. Polls in battleground states showed that undecided voters were six times more likely to be motivated by Gaza.
A thorough Republican victory cannot be denied, and many wonder how much steam the average Democrat has left for years, nine through 12 of the Trump era,.
Deep-seated opposition to Trump and Trumpism cannot be denied, meaning national reconciliation and unity was never really on the ballot.
