How bad are we as a Country, or even human beings gonna be after these next four years???

Seriously??? How are we going to survive all the destruction that is possibly gonna happen??? I am terribly scared of what we’re all going to be after this. Probably shouldn’t even consider things……just try to live through it all, stay, positive, do what I can to maintain sanity, and just survive. I know you’ll get me through it, you all, BLUESKY, Green Bay Packers, Badgers, Bucks, Brewers, and anything other then news. Love you DU.

...is not the right way to approach it.

This is not normal, and trying to normalize it won't work.

Just pointing out that people have done terrible things throughout history and we are not immune from it. Terrible isn't normal, but it also isn't unheard-of.

It's good that people are facing that and preparing as best as they can. They, we, deserve to have our rightful fears taken seriously.

neighbors I spent the death election night with, I will make it through……my husband who passed away in May, may he RIP, would have hated who will be the 47th POTUS, so I will make it through with all of my friends…..oh, my family?? THEY’RE ALL MAGAS……just because of the abortion issue. Love em, but do not talk politics. I need all my friends…..

back to normal as quickly as possible. Biden did it, so hopefully our next person will have the same effect.

Meanwhile, any country that bends to Trump's will is only going to make things harder on everyone. His greed is a bottomless pit.

I think the emotional impact of Trump's daily psychosis and his administration's cruelty and corruption will take a toll on all Americans even the people who voted for him. Although they'll never admit he's the cause.

Personally I just hope to survive the next 4 years. With people like RFK Jr, Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard running things our health, social safety net and national security will constantly be at risk.

And Trump and his oligarchs couldn't care less who falls through the cracks.
