If you voted for anyone other than HRC, you elected Trump. It's as simple as that.

Also, there is no missing the fact that the anyone-but-Hillary crowd (e.g. the JPR contingent) glommed onto RW talking points, praised RWers and quoted their bullshit 24/7. And yet we're supposed to believe that they are the leftier-than-thou.

It didn't take long for them to start acting just like Republicans - and, as they say, if it walks like a duck and squawks like a duck, it IS a duck - and has been all along.
