Things that have stuck with me since my UW-Madison Poli Sci classes from decades ago and which resonated loudly last night after Trump's win:
America is basically a conservative country where whites and men have always been in control.
It has a long, tortured relationship with minorities and women to whom it denied civil rights and voting rights for years.
And it has long revered the outsider, the cowboy, the Marlboro Man riding into town and solving everyone's problems.
