Donald Trump will become President of the United States again.
The electorate has endorsed that racism and misogyny are valid arguments for half of the country.
Trump is surrounded by denialists, billionaires and paranoid racists with whom he plans to lead American politics.
Control of the Senate and probably the House of Representatives will allow Trump to make unlimited appointments.
Trump shows admiration for international autocrats and is backed by European populists.
Trump's victory implies that anti-politics is a plausible pathway for democracies.

Conclusion: The United States not only voted for Trump but voted for the end of an era in its democracy, beginning another filled with dark signs and uncertainty.
