Tbh, the DNC has nobody to blame but themselves. America wanted a political outsider who wasn't part of the establishment. Bernie Sanders would have all but served the victory to them on a platter. The rigged primaries absolutely fucked over any chance they had at winning this. No, America is not going to fall apart. We've had bad presidents before. If anything, this may be a blessing in desguise for American politics. Imagine how badly people will want a truly great and honest candidate next time if Trump does poorly?
Also, the self defeatist attitude is a bit of a downer. Get out there and be the best people you can be. Let this motivate you to become more involved with your community, or try harder to find a bit of money to donate to a good cause. Prove to the world that America is still awesome and that we care about each other.
Thats what ideally would happen, everyone just gets on with it, but with their stated plans:
