He is the most hated candidate and least liked president in modern history.

He lost the popular vote.

Republican dominance is a product of voter suppression and gerrymandering.

I agree we're not doing a good job of protecting the environment, but Trump's election doesn't indicate that people's willingness to do so is waning.

I've only ever seen evidence that people care more about climate change as time goes on and the economy recovers.

If you want to lay blame at a single aspect of American government as you have, I think it's more fair to blame a two party system and cultural emphasis on wedge issues (abortion, gun control, gay rights, etc).

I didn't lay blame. You seem to have misread my comment or conflated it with GP. I was just saying that Trump's election doesn't demonstrate a decline in environmentalism among the electorate.
