Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
We will be okay. We WILL.
We're going to be fine. Make sure to stay close with any vulnerable friends (lgbtqia+, immigrants, people with darker skin.) And if you fit into any of those categories try to really connect with your community and your neighborhood for safety. Our personal bonds will be very important.
But really, nothing is going to change for a while. The trumpers who voted for him are still going to be working their shitty dead end jobs pretending they saved America with nothing changing or getting better for them. We're still going to be working and worrying and preparing for the worst but things will similarly not change for us. It's mostly going to be the rich getting richer and regulation dying.
There will be deportations. It will mostly be for undocumented people. If you know any undocumented "illegal" immigrants or children of them try to make sure you have a way to contact them because things will be messy for them. There will be hate and more hate crime.
Most of what trump wants is money and praise. He probably doesn't really care about anything else. Those are just voter issues and the people who voted him in come third if at all.
Just stay close to people if you can. Your best safety net is people who can vouch for you and vulnerable peoples best protection is you vouching for them and being there if they need something. W
