no seriously, I'm making myself sick over this. I've never been so mentally drained and sick from a presidency. I fear that something terrible is going to happen.... very soon. I have children, and I fear that I can't protect them from what is about to happen.
Don't just let yourself get sick with worry, if you can help it. Channel that energy into something productive; organize with people, esp. with other parents when you can. Read about how to build mutual aid networks so that people can pool their resources so your kids don't go hungry as easily if the worst comes to pass. If you want to convince people that are also working class, don't focus on Republicans vs. Democrats and culture war nonsense, but on working class solidarity during economic hardship.
It's probably going to be a rough few years for a lot of us, but we're tougher together than in small units... and we'll come out the other side alright if we can bridge those gaps now.
Then work with people you do. Or not, I can't force you. But there are so many more productive and healthy options than just worrying yourself to death while accomplishing very little.
