Drink some water y'all, stop scrolling and panicking. I understand the pain of having a fascist elected (modi for anyone who's curious) but the connections and community you build will always be stronger than those in power. It's gonna be shit, but it'll get better if you keep trying. So take a break, eat something you like and go hang out with your friends or family, have a nice conversation, irl or online and get some sleep. Help others and ask for help, there's always gonna be atleast one person willing to help you out. And try to be that one person for someone else. You can find people you can rely on even in the most right wing populated places, so don't lose hope and don't try to go through this alone
#us politics#hopium#try looking into mutual aid if it's possible for you#or organise it if you're not socially anxious like me#just don't do doomerism#hope is based actually and you should fight to make stuff better#(it's kinda crazy how much I've changed since the last even like...one year. the hope is nice I won't lie)#(i used to be very pessimistic and it's still very hard to look forward to the future but it feels good to actively try and not be a doomer)
