Trump was elected. This isn’t what I wanted, but I’m trying to stay positive and not worry so much. The people have the power to make choices and work and campaign and support what they believe in and I for one want to take advantage of that. I want to help those that will be affected in the coming years and stand for what I believe is right. What resources, campaigns, protests, anything should I and others be aware of? What can we do to make the change we want to see?

    I think the only thing to do now is help at a local level. Washington’s fucked, nothing you can do to change that. What I am planning to do: (1) be kind to my family, especially my wife; (2) donate to the school and food pantries; (3) just fucking cope. Work on my hobbies, exercise, just… one foot in front of the other. Endure.

    Oh: and I’m thinking about buying a gun and learning to shoot. Seriously.

      Im using this comment to make myself avaliable for communication for anyone who’s considering getting a gun. The only thing I like more than guns in the face of fascism is taking gun culture back from the chuds and giving it to the people who are actually at risk. I’ve introduced many of my friends to firearms both on and off the firing line. Anyone reading and curious can comment or message me, I will do my best to give good, safe advice appropriate for your situation and flat out admit if I don’t have the answers you’re looking for.

      Could you expand on the gun part like what encourages you to go that route? No judgement in either direction. I’m interested because my concern that I would need to be armed stemmed more from if he lost. Since he would have gotten up there and told his base it was cheating and tried to mobilize them towards violence.

      I don’t anticipate that kind of violent behavior from the other side, so just curious on your perspective.

        Orange Hitler has been in control of the courts for the last 4+ years. Now that he’s in power, he’s going to consolidate power over them. Hate crimes and vigilante killings by conservatives will no longer be prosecuted. Trump just handed every red hat out there a licence to kill. Buy a gun. Kill Nazis.
