in the general.

I thought my countrypersons' judgment was sounder than they showed it to be by late in the evening Nov. 8th.

The candidacy Trump presented did not deserve the support of voters, yet so many gave him their votes. IMO the country has passed a certain threshold in anti-intellectualism and racism that resulted in the election of a crude bigot to the White House.
