Is the solution to acquiesce to populists who don't believe in facts and truth?  The people; who voted for Trump because they believe refugees commit crimes and deprive others of jobs; the people who believe that the unemployment rate is perhaps as high as 42%; the people who are vile racists and xenophobes; the people who believe that Obama is a Kenyan-born Muslim; those who want to restore coal to the energy industry? If the "electorate" hadn't been too lazy to get up and vote, the election result would have been far different.  Remember Trump "loved the poorly educated." Education, mobilization and a better class of candidates is the proper approach to ensure that demagogues like Trump can't succeed by fooling "some of the people all of the time".  Of the 60 million who voted for him - remember NOT an overall  majority - 20 million are hopeless and truly "deplorable".  The other 40 million are regretting their decision to some degree already.  Populists?  No thanks!
