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? (self.asklemmy)

I've decided to start going back to the range and practicing with my pistol again. Considering getting a concealed carry permit just in case things get bad enough where I feel I'll need to defend myself while out and about. I don't think things will get that bad, but better safe than sorry, right?

One of my best friends is a martial arts instructor and she said she'll give me free self defense classes. I'm small and weak, so I need every advantage I can get.
