Did we feel worse when Trump was elected, or do we feel worse now? Tough call.
There are things we can do. First, GOTV. And get your friends and neighbors out to vote, too.
Second, continue to resist. See Camestros Felapton on this point here.
Third, donate if you can -- the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, Emily's List, to Democratic candidates running in contested seats. And if you can't donate (or even if you can) volunteer, speak out, make some noise.
Fourth, if you're a writer, or a musician, or a poet, or any sort of artist: keep doing your art. Poets, as Shelley told us, are the unacknowledged legislators of the world. Trump and his snarling rabble seem important; but artists change the world in ways those filthy greedy assfaced motherfuckers never will.
Finally, don't despair, though despair seems a natural reaction. Trump isn't winning, no matter what his supporters believe. He's destroying, and that shit never lasts.
Rise up. Resist. Persevere.
