The best thing to come of Trump's election is that it engaged a massive amount of people in the political process that simply didn't bother with it before. I've always felt that the majority of the country is left-leaning, especially on social issues.
Not many things work better than embarrassment to motivate people to do better, and right now a lot of us are embarrassed by the state of the country with this current administration.

I think the majority of the populace is, but considering something like 73% of our senate only represents 30% of our populace, the rest get screwed.
