Was the summer of liberalism really the dawn of Trump?

The United States of America. There have been times over these past seven days, and this past year, when the very name of this country has seemed at odds with its divergent mood.
Increasingly the USA seems oxymoronic, a geographic expression rather than a term to describe a cohesive republic, "one Nation under God, indivisible."
The election, rather than delivering an overwhelming endorsement of Donald Trump, produced a divided result. He won the Electoral College, the state-based mechanism designed, ironically, to stave off angry popular revolts. Hillary Clinton amassed more votes in the country as a whole.
