“Instructions on Living in a Broken World
lean into community
seek out love
applaud the good you see
keep paying attention
talk to your neighbors
dance to the music and embrace art
look for love and small joys
take breaks and relish in nourishing your body
donate what you can
linger at the dinner table with friends
check in with your people
let yourself grieve
love one another as deeply as you canthe storm is upon us and we must hold on
don’t give up, we’re here together.”

Trump’s re-election is a disaster, but anyone who claims to understand with certainty exactly why this happened (and how it could have been avoided) is

2) almost certainly pushing a narrative that affirms whatever their ideological preferences are.
I’m going to give it time before I come to any conclusions about why this happened. I want to read some analyses based on better data and more thought than anything available right now.
In the meanwhile, my best advice is to please take care of yourselves and those around you.
I don't think that's true. We're strong on the road to fascism and autocracy, but we're not all the way…
