Abstract
Regardless of who won the presidential election—whether Clinton or Trump—American national government would be at a stalemate now. Indeed, I believe a good case can be made that if Clinton had won, things would be far worse than they are now. Yes, the US government is in utter chaos. Long-standing policies and institutions have been or soon will be gutted. People and nations that have been admiring friends and allies for 65 years have been insulted. The day after Trump’s inauguration, millions of women all over the world marched defiantly but peacefully in pink pussy hats of protest. All in all, the nation seems to be in the midst of a transformation at least unparalleled since the US Civil war in the 1860s.
