I think we have to keep a few things in mind here.
First, if we respond with pure doom and gloom, that's probably an overreaction. At the same time, if we respond with, "Oh my god, it's so great! Everything's fixed now!" then that's also an overreaction.
But if we look at the bigger picture, I also very strongly feel that had Killary been elected, it would have been WWIII and the US and the rest of the world would have suffered much more.
Okay, with Trump, maybe Americans will suffer more, maybe not. But even that's not so simple.
If you have the choice between WWIII and getting nuked later on, vs. putting up with some crazy policies and economic hardship, which would you pick? Also, I'm fairly certain that the rest of the world (when they're done freaking out) is going to get the idea that they, too, can and should shake things up when their elections come around (I'm thinking of France and other EU countries here, primarily). Right now, EU media is crapping their pants because EU leaders are crapping their pants. But the people? The little wheels in their heads are turning...
Plus, let's say there's an economic meltdown. Guess what? The whole rest of the world is entangled in that mess together, so no one escapes unscathed.
Yes, it really feels like a "timeline shift" or some other such significant marker or event. To me, it seems like a pretty epic shift. But that doesn't mean it's all over. We still have to stay on our toes, keep some irons in the fire, and carry on as usual.
Even if some bad stuff is still coming down the bend, maybe - just maybe - this Trump victory will mean that, as a statement to the universe, America is fed up. And just maybe, that will mitigate things so that even though everything won't be all peaches and cream and candy corn, it will be far less "bad" than it could have been. But I think that also depends on what each of us continues to Do, starting NOW.
The point is, the future is ALWAYS open. Even the C's once said that the USA is past the point of no return. Well, fine. So what? We don't know what that means. It might mean the country eventually becomes a smoldering pile of rubble, or it might mean that things change politically, socially, whatever, to the point that people from today wouldn't recognize the future US. The same is true for all the so-called Western world. I would gladly put up with some "discomfort" if it meant real change could be effected everywhere.
And what might happen might just depend on what YOU do. And me, and all of us.
In other words, don't be like the sentry who fell asleep, blade piercing his hear, etc. and so on and so forth. We all need to keep a cool head, keep our eyes open, and carry on. That's what we do!
I thought one lady was going to throw her mike and walk off camera at one point, and the holding back of tears by many was really something else to see. 
I should've known better but the fact that Pence is against abortion means the church was behind him the whole time. Another example of how easily people are swayed.
