4 years? Don't bother with the hope of 4 years. This shit is over.

Get active. The absolute worst thing you can do is "nothing". You will feel so much better getting out there and doing good work with your neighbors. Looking for local mutual aid orgs in your area is a good start. If you can't find any, start one yourself! Another commenter here goes into greater detail, but you can start very small! Or arrange some meetups around skill-sharing. You probably have a useful skill or knowledge that others could benefit from, and I'm sure there's things you'd like to learn as well. Doing things like this builds community bonds, and strengthens us all. Don't wallow, get involved!

Learn a new language and get the fuck out. Visit family during elections.

You should be doing the same thing as before. Stacking cash so you might have a chance not to suffer the clown dystopia...

Not sure how people forget this priority online and sweat over regime whores swapping presidents spot.

You're probably better off with some combination of gold, bitcoin, and low-tech durable goods than cash.

Why bother about politics when everything is just a theater. People thinking that voting changes anything still amazes me.

Dont treat politics seriously. It will come one way or another to you in some shape or form. Focus on things which you really can improve/change/work on.
