This is a difficult time, not just for Democrats, but also for many others who believe a Donald Trump presidency will fail to protect and possibly infringe upon their constitutional rights. While President Obama and Hillary Clinton have called for unity, such calls are utterly impractical following an election fraught with fear and bigotry. Having been the primary source of such vitriol, any expectation of national reconciliation and unity should be placed on the president-elect, not the public.
