ok Trump is President, now what?

take a deep breath and let it go. first of all.
release all of the fear that lies inside you. there is no need for it here.
It doesn't matter what the state of the world is when you read this.
There is no need to be afraid ever. of anything.

take a deep breath and let it go. again.
flow that breath into yourself
so that you can make space for your emotions.
if you can breathe, you are alive.
life - its the only thing you have to have to survive.

so we are only dealing with emotions now, because we have removed the fear. If you really can't remove the fear and anxiety for your present existence just by breathing. And that is solely because Donald Trump became the President of the United States? keep trying. keep breathing. read.

Here is the thing, I believe in the legal structure of this country called the USA. It is not a perfect legal structure, but its flaws are clear and mostly based in racism and misogyny. If one of its flaws were that a president could become a dictator, I think it would have been exploited by now. And if this is the first time? if it took over two hundred years for a narcissistic, man-child become the leader of the free world? I still trust the system that has been established. The main point was to keep someone from taking everything over for themselves because the people who created this country did not trust each other in the slightest. BUT they were fucking tired of violence.

Because here is the T - Half does not a majority make. So in no way shape or form can anyone say that Donald Trump does anything with the blessing of the people of America. Only half of the American's get to be represented by this human's way of thinking. And his way of thinking is fucking negative. Like, disgustingly so. He is clearly a broken human that does not value the life he has. You can't say everything is shit and not convince me that

actually, it's your way of thinking that is the real problem

The glass is "half empty", pessimistic. As an authentic "half empty" you don't believe it is possible to ever see the glass as "half full" and anyone who claims to must be lying or deluded.

That is what I understand when I hear a human who talks like Donald Trump has for his entire presidential run. And as a person who is "glass half full" forever. I can not get on board with the way he thinks. He is broken, from my perspective.
And then, from his supporters I hear the same broke down pessimism OR I hear this:

 I am on a team for life, that team is versus another team. and I want to be #winning. 

If only for a moment, they want to taste victory.

The secret is that there are no teams. Check the DNA! We are all family! Humans versus Humans is just violence against ourselves. Why would we commit violence against ourselves? because there is a huge deficiency of self love in the populous. And it presents itself on the surface in very many different ways, so you can't say that one side is full of people who hate themselves (and therefore all of humanity) and the other is full of people who love themselves. No. You can't really say that. You can say one side seems to be for unity and inclusion, whereas, the other side is for anarchy unless they are in control. Yes.

You can say that a government should give a crap about life. Specifically, the existence of human life in the future of the planet Earth. Government, as an entity, should be the thing that cares about this. But most of the people who support Donald Trump are too ignorant to see the value in government
So I get it. Donald Trump doesn't seem like the type to be good at protecting human life. And the potential of his presidency to [suck so bad that it destroys the planet and our species] is real. But growth in human life comes from dealing with that exact thing you do not want to face. And you do it to shake free those last hold out thoughts filled with fear and deception, the growth inhibitors that cause things like pessimism. Experiencing extremes creates selection. But you have to endure the extremes fully to find the benefit.

So don't cut tail and run. Endure. Canada won't take you easily unless you are paying international tuition fees, have a graduate degree or speak their two languages anyway. (I did the "move to canada" thing during the first four years of W, so I know). But for those of you who decided to stay in the US after high school, stick it out! Stay.
Take all the extra? money that you earn during the years Donald Trump is President of the USA and give it to your local schools. Not the schools your kids go to, but the schools you live nearest to. Give them your money, give them your time, give them your physical presence. Make the school the center of the community. Do you have access to food from a walking distance away? no? but you have a school a walking distance away. Make that school parking lot a farmers market. Mass efforts to source (grow+sale) food locally will only benefit the future of humanity. And a massive focus on education is the only true way out of this half and half split over how to think about life.

There are things that get to be categorically right and categorically wrong. If it threatens the existence of our species, it has to be wrong. Because if it is not wrong?! If it is just "an opinion" subject to equal time under scrutiny as all the other "opinions" presented?!!! Our existence as a species is based on this principle of self preservation, but let's just undermine all that?? because of freedom of expression? Let's express ourselves politely all the way into extinction. If it does not value human life the most, out of everything else, then it threatens our species and it is wrong. Not in some sort of spiritual, integrated, "sin" based way. No, like 2+2=5 WRONG!
And if a thing encourages the existence of our species, then it is right. That has be a truth no matter what you practice or preach about anything else. Or, half the population will definitely not be on board. Clearly.

So, the messages of unity versus anarchy? One of those messages is wrong and one is right.
It is always right to find the places that humans can unite. It's always right to bring more peace into a situation. It's always wrong to incite violence. You don't have to bring emotion or preferences or opinions into it. Valuing human life is always right and never wrong. So can we please see that message blasted across all versions of media? in response to a Trump Presidency. I'm laughing at the mainstream media now- they thought the whole thing was a joke just long enough to make it not one. Shocked for certainty is New York and LA on this fine November day. So the media better be ready to go high.

But seriously Mainstream Media, meet me at camera three-
This is your moment. You're dead if you do not change your messages. Stop convincing people to hate themselves just to increase your profits. Educate the masses in self-love. They need it. Half of them are convinced there is no hope in life. Get positive. Get inclusive. Get diverse. Don't become the anti-Trump, become a beacon of education in true self love. Rise Above. Go High. Send a message that Trump can not shut down without outing himself as a human-hater. You can turn this country around in less than 4 years. I guarantee it. But you have to stop being out for yourselves first.

No matter who the ruler of your country is, invest in the local infrastructure and people who surround you and you can not be wrong. And love yourself. It's easier to say than do. Mostly because it is a different code for each human to crack. All of the solutions start with grace. forgiveness. self awareness. It may be painful to figure out how to do it but endure the pain for as long as it takes. Because self love is worth fighting to have, as long as the fight is only violent against the deceptions and fears that convinced you not to love yourself in the first place. Get educated. Educate others.
