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 grew up an illegal immigrant in the US. we were poor and struggled but ultimately I had a good upbringing and I have a good life now.

the world is uncaring and unjust. you have to stick up for yourself and build something for you and the ones you love. nobody else will do it for you.

unless you are a silver spoon trust fund baby of course (which isn't exclusive to any race or gender.. although being straight & white definitely increases the chances). most of us don't get that privilege
