Esoteric perspective
An astrologer I respect, Jim Buss, forwarded this from Natha Jay:
Now that the presidential election is over in the United States we have a more firm timeline for a few years. We chose the faster, more exciting path to change. This is in no way an endorsement of Trump, but here we are and the timeline is more clear. At some point we won’t have elected “leaders” simply because self-sovereignty and personal responsibility will be our reality. That won’t happen soon, so here we go…
What will happen for the next four years was already planned, so we just picked the more dramatic route, that’s all. Some people (apparently the majority) prefer drama, but the end result would have been the same either way. This is important to know, so you don’t get pulled into the divisive energy of the past. Unity is where we are headed, no matter how it seems.
Remember how I have said for years to distance your personal identity from money? Now, we all need to distance our identity from patriotism. This means YOU (as a multidimensional being) are NOT the identity of your country. Your country is just where you live. Your character can grow no matter where you are, or what that area is called. I wasn’t indoctrinated into the patriotic fervor so I’m sure it is easier for me than most, but this idea will ease the next few years no matter where you call home.
Try to identify as your soul, rather than as a citizen. Your soul doesn’t even have a gender. Your soul is pure energy, and really doesn’t care what the land is called or who is named “leader”. Just spend a few minutes everyday communing with your own soul, and feel the stress melt away. If you can just bring a little of this awareness into your life it will change everything, both personal and collective.

The people who do not have a connection with the higher and deeper aspects of themselves must have constant drama going on in order to have a sense of personal identity.
Those of us who have chosen to overcome crisis/drama living will make it through the hard times a bit smoother than those who are addicted to drama. The Dark Night of the Soul is beginning to occur on a global scale. If you have ever experienced this personally, it can be overwhelming, fearful, disease producing, etc. Now it will happen to humanity.
If we have have begun to listen to our soul it is giving us the intuition needed to make it through the moments and bring us greater peace and joy. If we have been working to clear our traumas and and worn out ideas of how to live, especially as Pluto was in Capricorn, we are doing the work of connecting with our soul. If we turn our self doubt into self knowing, we trust our soul at a fundamental level.
Harris always spoke of lifting people up. I believe she would be a compassionate leader. Less than half of the voters chose uplift and compassion.
The other one is the exact opposite he cuts people down. He hurts people because he likes to. Less than half of the people in this country are still stuck in the crisis lifestyle so they chose him.
We are at the halfway point of choosing to live in the higher qualities of being. Just few more of us added to the scales of justice will tip it in our favor. Like a mind virus, upliftment will become a way of living. The more of us who choose to be like this, the sooner the scales tip.
As I read your words, it made me think about my ex who was addicted to drama trauma. It took me a while and a lot of self-work after we split to figure out how to live in a steady calm, which I love! I'm a Capricorn and my divorce was finalized the beginning of 2009. 
This past week, I've been reviewing everything I went through during Pluto in Capricorn and this by far, has been the best outcome for me, so your post feels validating.
