I have already seen one take along the lines of, "It's not going to be as bad as you think, your life will be mostly the same four years from now," and while I think the intention behind that is good, as a reminder, that is showing severe survivorship bias and comes from a place of privilege. I knew people who *didn't* make it through the first Trump administration. The second one is likely to be worse. I will probably be fine, but it is statistically likely that I know some people who won't be.

Take care of each other. They can't stop us from doing that.
