If you believe the press, the nation is in mourning. The 2016 election supposedly gave us a chance to usher in a new golden era of liberalism, and we didn’t take it. Instead of electing “the smartest woman in the world,” we elected a boorish nightmare. We are told, repeatedly, that we exist in the throes of intense buyer’s remorse. If we had it to do all over again, we’d all be lining up to cast our ballots for Hillary Clinton.
