love the conversation here as always, and I agree with the idea that folks should just check with themselves before engaging. that sense of self determination and self reflection is crucial especially now. I firmly believe one of the reasons why so many people had such visceral reactions is because they wanted to cling to the fantasy that Trump's first election was a fluke or some anomaly when (to me) it's a reflection of ruthless cleaving to power. At first, I thought it was it weird that I felt calm when I saw the election results, but I've realized the calmness came from me remembering that he's won before which means he can again. With this fact in mind, it's also shaped what I'm willing to demand from elected officials and how I'm going about civic engagement. Community building, information gathering, and intentional adaptation are my main motives in this phase of my life.
