How are we Beehaw? My great-grandmother (God bless her) told me not to worry about Trump and that we’ll be alright. I want to believe her. I really do. I’m already a little ticked off at him retracting some civil rights laws, also making it so Black History can’t be taught in schools? It really will be a long four years.

    A lot of people like to think that everything will work out okay. It’s easier to think everything will be fine than to focus on the terrible things that are happening.

    Then on the other side you have people that know things are bad, but give up because they don’t know how to fix things.

    I think eventually we’ll make it through this, but you can’t just be passively hopeful.

    Things are bad and will get worse. But tons of people are actively working together to prevent as much damage as possible, supporting each other, and working towards a better world. As things get worse, more people will try to find ways to help each other.

    We need spiteful hope and stubborn optimism. There are always ways to make things better, no matter how bad they get.
