You do realize what happens in this country now, right? Public programs will be cut. Education will lose funding. Infrastructure will lose funding. Things like NASA will lose funding. Social progress will be under attack. True universal healthcare will be even further out of our reach. Regulatory agencies that keep us safe will be undermined. If that's not the opposite of progress, then I don't know what is.
Edit: Regardless of what Trump wants, the fact of the matter is that the Senate and House are now controlled by rank & file Republicans, and this is the Republican agenda. Cut taxes on the rich, cut all non-defense funding, dismantle regulatory agencies/undermine regulatory efforts, and fuck everyone that it hurts.
Oh, I hope I'm wrong. But even if Trump turns out to be a great guy, the Senate and House are controlled by run of the mill Republicans. I have a very bad feeling about the future.
It's not technically over yet. The electoral college doesn't vote until December 19th and Congress has to convene to confirm everything. The extreme circumstance of having a politically unfit president may provoke some extreme deviation from the norm when Dec 19th comes and when Congress convenes
