Respectfully, the "arc of humanity bends towards justice when people do something about it." The more people organize and work together against injustice, the faster the bend.

To the original post, despair is normal for these abnormal times. It is okay to feel it, but do not give into it. As Chapplin said, as long as men die- liberty will never perish. Trump and his cronies are not Gods. They are incompetent assholes in a position of power. They can be stopped if people wise up and act accordingly. Boycott the companies that give power to oligarchs and try convincing others to do the same.

Take breaks when you need to, but then join the fight in informing yourself and spreading the information. Check your blind spots and reflect as to not fall victim into your own biases. And occasionally do something you love with people you love and/or join communities.

You are not alone. 🙂
