No loans, but still absolute dread. I suspect a lot of people are going to die preventably in the next 4-12 years.
You guys are acting like Trump is going to be driving around in a tank gunning down people that didn't vote for him.
By and large your life will not change much day-to-day. The worst thing you can do is give energy to something you cannot control. You voted and it doesn't work out. Now you focus on your daily happiness and don't try to let the big picture drag you down. There not much you can do about it anyway. May as well invest that energy into having something positive instead of dread.
This ideology is like “First they came for ____, and I did not speak out because I was not ____” without realizing why that’s bad
If you can make actionable change by all means spend that energy. But letting something you cannot do anything about ruin your daily life is just stupid.
You cant change what the Trump administration is going to do by crying about it on the Internet. You CAN choose how you want to spend that energy every day though. Spend it on the little things that make your life and others better. Put it towards charitable work or combatting things going wrong locally. Don't just wallow in sadness on the Internet daily.
