I prefer to wallow in despair. It is like  "Harry Potter" when the Ministry of Magic fell. All of a sudden evil had replaced all the good people with bad, and there was no compromise, as it was either their way or being turned into a toad. 
One of us is very wrong about the next four years. I think the Stock Market will do great, since it is the playpen of the 1% and when those trillions get repatriated, it will go there so the rich can party. But there will be more and more poor, and the press will be either toadies, or constantly at war with Trump.
A strongman delights in toadies, which, I suspect, is what happened to Christie. 
The Republican Party decimated Obama's hopes and dreams and will not stop until the poor have less and they have more. That is what adjusting to Trump means. I prefer to call the Dems in Congress to do as they were done by, and not cooperate with evil. Payback is all that a strongman understands. 
Thanksgiving is a good example of cooperating with evil.
