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)

Realize that things wouldn't have magically gotten better if the other right wing candidate won and either way you have to keep going if you ever want to actually have things be better.

Imagine it like cleaning your room as a kid. You thought your mom was gonna come and ask you to do it, instead your dad barged in and yelled at you to.

Does one feel worse? Yes, does that change the reality of the situation? No, either way you must clean your room.
