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)

Form an in person community. Focus on fun, then slowly start integrating shared political activism. Use the experience from this to enter local government.

Already working on it. Just need to find someplace I can get a job that will let me work outside the US.

Leave if at all possible. If not possible, set things up to increase the chance you will be able to one day - maybe move to near a border or something, and make sure your documents are handy and you have cash on hand or similar.

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

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.
