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)

Do not fear, for fear is your enemy. But there are quite a lot of great suggestions here. Only one note. If you'll protest, wear a mask and have something for self-defence.

But as a European I really fear for the possibility of might makes right world. We can only hope for continuation of bilateral support.

If you're in a marginalized group. I guess a self-defence weapon is in order. People can and sometimes are just animals.
