I decided to stop worrying about all of this shit…to be honest. 80+ million people voted for this so fuck all of them and see how the country will be after this circus.
Then you’re doing exactly what you are supposed to do. Disengagement, hopelessness, resignation, it’s all in the authoritarian playbook.
Addendum: To be clear, IMO what you Americans need to do is stay engaged. That doesn’t mean protesting everything (personally I think that might even be counter-productive). It does mean voting at every tiniest opportunity, you have lots of them. And if possible getting involved in some form of local politics, even if that is just joining some club or association. It’s like a tyrannical boss and his employees, what authoritarians hate most of all is for their subjects to be talking to each other.
Obviously you should post about it on Lemmy, upvote other posts about it and go into the comments telling the other people who despise him how much you do too. That should do the trick.

What else are you supposed to do? Constantly complaining about it gets old real quick.

Mobilize.
