I don't know about the other groups, but 19% of blacks voted for trump, and I believe there were a good portion of the groups you specified that voted for Trump. The blacks, young people, Latinos, etc that would typically vote democrat, did not come out to vote. So in other words this is the result and it what it is. The DNC should not have went with Hillary--she just wasn't likeable enough. She took a big L--I mean wow lol!!! It has to hurt for her--to have lost to Obama, AND Trump now.
I didn't support Trump lol, but the op is amusing--I do think we are in for a lot of big changes, but I don't know if they are as extreme as the op makes it out to be. Obamacare will def be repealed, which honestly was very expensive(for me at least).
Obamacare is a disaster, even the liberals agree.
I don't know if the country would be better off (although the country is better off without so many refugees), I certainly don't think the country would be worse off.
If one studies history, one knows last night was most American of things. After racial progress always comes a white backlash.
After Lincoln, Grant, we get Hayes who ends Reconstruction and restores the white South. After LBJ, Nixon & Southern strategy. Obama, Trump.
It is not incidental nor a fluke if one looks through the ever-revealing pattern of history that the first black president was followed by one the KKK endorsed.
Muchas Gracias to Presidente Rafael Correa (Ecuador) for standing up for free speech and human rights (Julian Assange). The other industrialized nations of the world were ready to throw Julian "under the bus" and bury their collective heads in the sand. Without WIKILEAKS the outcome of our election might have been different. Your country has been a beacon for democracy while others not much.

In short, that relatively large percentage of Blacks supporting Trump was more or less due to fewer voters this time. Well, this confirms once and for all, a wasted vote is NO VOTE. A 3rd party vote is not a wasted vote, not voting, however, is the wasted vote.
I voted for Gary Johnson myself. Hilary isn't likable. She's a snake. Trump is a bully and a bigot. And his support for stop and frisk scares me as a Black man.
Personally, Obamacare never affected me. I get insurance through work.
Since the republican party now controls both Presidency, House and Senate they also have the legal power to overturn state laws and everything Obama accomplished. You will probably lose gay marriage and abortion rights. (Trump has said Planned Parenthood which has been there for women for exactly 100 years is gone) Climate change will go unchecked (because that doesn't exist in his head) Subsidies for renewables and electric cars will disappear. Lgbt rights as human beings, and voting rights for any non-white will be more constrained (because this time some republican states they tried to push through that you had to have a drivers license to vote - this was shut down by dems).
NATO alliance might be gone, which leads to Russia and China expanding. Public employee unions will shrink, public schooling will be worse, oil drilling everywhere, employee discrimination on sex, race etc not enforced, police brutality and racial discrimination will increase. Many in the republican party says this is the best thing since Andrew Jackson, who Obama removed from the 20$ bill for being racist.
Trump wants to get rid of the DEpt of Education,which will resuelt in more voters who like him.
