Trump was elected with a majority of the popular vote. Undoing his work will only lead to the election of another like him in short order. The USA needs a new constitutional convention that will lead to a second republic with a system different from the current one. Maintaining the current system will only lead to increasingly longer cycles of chaos followed by increasingly shorter (or less sensible) cycles of sanity.

    No, he got 49.8% of the popular vote, which is under the 50% threshold for a majority. I say that not only in the "well akshually" sense, but also to agree that, yes, we need to replace our system completely. The current one is broken, if in no other way than weighting different votes very differently. (Urban vs. rural, or California vs. Wyoming)
