You try your best to not think about what might happen. You try not to replay the violence of January 6, 2021. You try to forget that Trump may use every means available to get back into power. You try to ignore the wild things Trump has promised to do.
You are not successful. Your fear grows in the crevices of your mind. Rather than facing the reality of what people can do to resist Trump, the back of your brain just keeps sprouting new fears about what might happen.
You finally reach out to a trusted friend. They show you a resource called “What If Trump (or Harris) Wins?” It normalizes some of your fears, challenges others, and helps you to get a little more perspective. You feel a little more grounded. Just a little.
