      It will be what we make it. For now, stop performing on social media though and try to listen and think a bit. We take in history and try to learn from it. That’s the first step.

      You’re scared, that’s fine. Take strength from knowing that this isn’t brand new. Doesn’t mean it’s easy or the good guys “win”, but means people have survived this before, fascist regimes have toppled, just not in the US yet. So we’ll see. We’ll hope there’s less death, less destruction, but there already is and will be some.

      It’s okay for you to be scared. There’s probably SOMETHING you can be doing to help though. Take some time and consider what that might be.
