The DNC is what the repubs would have looked like if trump lost. A vague dissolution of differing ideals and goals all trying to fight for the top. Trump, in his victory, has done a lot to cover up the fact that the republicans are just as divided and senseless as the democrats.

The electoral college, the design of the country that says "the small populous regions cannot rule the unpopulous ones" finally kicked in in force rather than as a weak effect. The two groups are going to have to reorient to this new world of politics, and the republicans did so a bit faster. To be fair, they've been cheating a bit as well, with gerrymandering and voter-id laws. Hopefully those will not remain, because those are real, and very deadly, dangers to the system of our democracy in my opinion.

What worries me slightly is that our system will no longer match our public ideals and discourse. A democratic nation leads to republican rule, and it seems like the whole nation hates it. If this is a trend, it will be a strong test of the US government and its systems.
