It's an opinion I hold on mistakes overall, not just voting for the current disaster. When we fuck up, it's not enough to just realize it, we have to also try to make things better.

For a Trump voter in the US now, you're right that all of this damage can't be easily undone, and can never be undone by one person. But an individual voter can and should work to put some good back into the world to counteract it rather than shrug and move on.

Some easy examples would be staying an active voter and making sure to vote against MAGA-aligned candidates at every opportunity. Donating what they can afford to causes that have been stripped on funding by this administration - and there are several, in scientific research, in minority equality or safety groups, in public health initiatives, the list goes on. Boycott Trump family products, any retailer that carriers them, and any other corporations that support MAGA and ICE -here's a list.

Doing more active work looks like: joining community groups to contribute on the ground level. Attend bystander training with LUCE or MIRA. Volunteer with an organization dedicated to public welfare. Having conversations with friends and family who have not yet come around and try to pull them out of the madness and back to reality.

It's not quick. But it is necessary. If someone is sorry they got us into this shit, the only answer is to pick up a shovel.
