Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I don't know if I can handle 4 more years of this.
We will all endure.
No. Many people are going to die. I will not have that be erased.
I know three people leaving the country.
i dont disagree. we need to keep enduring, speaking out for, and fighting for those who will be negatively impacted by all that is to come. we cannot give up. im tired too...but we can do this
Most but definitely not all.
Block social media that centers on him or politics. Find like minded people. Do things you love.
Burying your head in the sand while the country burns is not the answer.
Look mate, I don't even live in the States and I need to keep my sanity. I did what I could when I felt like I could do it and Americans picked Trump, so I'm doing what I gotta do to survive. Is it selfish? Yeah, it is a little bit, but that's the truth.
As an American, I'm sorry.
But killing yourself slowly with the ratcheting insanity helps how..?
And what should we do instead that you're doing right now? I personally feel powerless in all of this.
Unfortunately, I don't have the right answer. I can still recognize the wrong one though.
That feeling of powerlessness over everything is what they want. It eventually leads to something called learned helplessness, where we no longer even try to change things.
If it's of any comfort I'm predicting he'll die within the next 4 years. But I'm also predicting it'll only get worse with his death so maybe there's not much comfort to be had.
If he died of old age tomorrow, his followers would probably think it was a deep state assassination. There would be no convincing these nutjobs that an old, unhealthy person like Trump could die.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Vance will be even worse for the country.
Has Vance shown any dictatorial tendencies?
Yes. His podcasts appearances are probably the best source. The Behind the Bastards episodes about Curtis Yarvin do a pretty good job of covering it.
This article will give you a decent overview: https://newrepublic.com/article/183971/jd-vance-weird-terrifying-techno-authoritarian-ideas
Thanks. Vance sounds like he is easily led. Scary.
