A shocking result that’s out of tune

America voted for Trump, they must now live with him, writes Eleanor Tiernan

I HAVE been finding out recently that there’s a lot more to being a citizen of the USA than I had thought. Despite being in California for a week before polling, I still haven’t managed to read the whole of the textbook-sized voter information document issued to every household in advance of Tuesday’s vote.

As well as the presidential race, the citizens of California were voting on a whole range of propositions ranging from the legalisation of cannabis to making it mandatory for actors in pornographic movies to wear condoms.
