Reconsider Any Belief In Innate American Goodness: Are Americans inherently good, freedom-loving, devoted to free speech and free worship, committed to all people being created equal
Start Out Making a Small Difference: A country that votes for Trump is broken in very complicated and daunting ways. Harris could have won in a landslide and 45% of the people voting for Trump would still have reflected a country broken in terrible ways.
In Schindlers List, Stern tells Schindler whoever saves one life saves the world entire. So save the world that way one fellow American at a time. You cant stand up alone against all the Trumpist bullies in America, but maybe you can stand up to a few local ones in defense of a neighbor

The fact he won big doesnt mean you were wrong to oppose those things and condemn them
