This election was decided by people who accept great human suffering as a virtue. They are political sadists as the super-rich (no human suffering is in excess so long as it creates or indulges a profit) and might even re-establish slavery if they could get away with it, and religious fundamentalists who will vote against their economic interests to vote for anyone who promises to abolish abortion and same-sex marriage, impose school prayer and devotions (fundamentalist variety of course !) and creationism in public schools. For them the ultimate purpose in their lives is to bring the world to Jesus as they understand Him -- and any failure , such as voting for someone who denies that abortion and same-sex are legally set in stone is headed to Hell with Judas Iscariot for unspeakable torture in eternity. So they understand their brutal image of God.
Liberals will need to win them back -- and if the Right manages to impose bans on abortion and same-sex marriage and the imposition of fundamentalist Christianity and creationism in public schools, then we dare not return it.
The alternative is a New Feudalism of debt-bondage, torture chambers, and concentration camps in America. Take your choice -- no abortion, or no freedom... a right-wing version of the Soviet Union or a Christian state.
