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)

4 years? Don't bother with the hope of 4 years. This shit is over.

Get active. The absolute worst thing you can do is "nothing". You will feel so much better getting out there and doing good work with your neighbors. Looking for local mutual aid orgs in your area is a good start. If you can't find any, start one yourself! Another commenter here goes into greater detail, but you can start very small! Or arrange some meetups around skill-sharing. You probably have a useful skill or knowledge that others could benefit from, and I'm sure there's things you'd like to learn as well. Doing things like this builds community bonds, and strengthens us all. Don't wallow, get involved!

Learn a new language and get the fuck out. Visit family during elections.

Why bother about politics when everything is just a theater. People thinking that voting changes anything still amazes me.

Dont treat politics seriously. It will come one way or another to you in some shape or form. Focus on things which you really can improve/change/work on.
