Absolutely. Already feels like a weight has been lifted. I suspect much of the world feels the same. Would be ironic if our response to Trump-inspired division brought us a bit closer together. Probably wishful thinking, but one can hope.

If you're picking "local candidates and issues," where's your line: does a wave of Trump-endorsed primary winners losing in November count as local noise or a verdict anyway?
