Fascists have taken over. It's really all down hill from here. Americans are sometimes good at coming together when we really need to, so maybe there's hope because most of us aren't far left or right. But even with the weapons we have access to and the 2A we have the right to, we would still have to go against Trump's eventual red army. So there's that. Yeah, we're fucked.
Whenever there is an administration change someone is going to be throwing out “the sky is falling” and “we are going to horribly die” by (fill in the blank) scenarios. It never happens and it won’t happen this time either.
I truly think everything will be fine in the long run. Just focus on what you can control. Just remember that an escalating nuclear war is a much worse existential threat than who is president for 4 years (although they are slightly related).
For some definition of "fine" I suppose. Retirement and healthcare will probably look radically different for a lot of people.
