I'm feeling like just hiding in bed for the next 4 years. Friends on Lemmy, got any advice for us Americans coping with the oncoming shit show that is the Trump GOP takeover? (sh.itjust.works)

in the short term: do something that helps you cope with our reality.

in the long term: reach out the people who both love and respect you and tell them how you feel. mutual aid is how we survived every time there's been a hostile government and it'll work again. we've been here before, we've survived, and we will do it again.
