I think you are looking at this the wrong way man. You say both are bad and I agree, but the difference is America does need change. You know, I know it, we all know it. We know that wouldn't happen with Hilary.
I understand being upset Trump is president, I'm not exactly truly happy about it. I'm just laughing at all the people who are super upset over this, but I'm not happy. However, in some ways I don't think this shames us as a country because this has never really been about Trump. This has been about not wanting more of the same. Trump came along at just the right time, with the country in the right state of mind to actually make an attempt at change.
Could it backfire? Oh hell yes, but people never truly believed Trump would win, and he did. So they would be fools to assume that there is a 100% chance Trump will be a disaster, since again..those people were already wrong once about Trump.
I don't know what is going to happen, but I like that this is just one big "enough is enough" from people. Maybe this will cause people to get their shit together to make sure it never comes to this again?

The only upside of this is that it might spark a unified and progressive movement from the left come 2020, yeah. 🙂
Well in the long run, the progressives are winning the demographics war; the baby boomers aren't getting any younger. And after this defeat, it's very possible that liberals will finally wake up and start turning out in comparable numbers (maybe, lol).
Is Trump the Republican party's swan song?

This is assuming millenials are who you think they are.
The younger generations could be way more conservative then they let ln, and just keep to the closet about it.

Swan Song was a great episode of Supernatural.

Hopefully this becomes a wake-up call for people never to elect someone like Trump or Hillary again.
This is certainly a memorable election for me.
1. I worked the polls, and saw first hand the insane turnout. Half mile lines, and I'm not even joking.
2. Election day also happens to be my birthday.
3. There was the ominous sound of thunder JUST as the polls ended. (That's when I jokingly thought "Trump must have won!", and whaddyou know. Sure, it's all coincidence, but sure marks the event.)

The fact that he was also an incredibly annoying retard who shit up the forum and flamed everyone who didn't support him helps.

Nope. After Trump inevitably FUBARs, politics will start getting more liberal under millennials
This is a chart of voters 18-25
