4 years? Don't bother with the hope of 4 years. This shit is over.

Get active. The absolute worst thing you can do is "nothing". You will feel so much better getting out there and doing good work with your neighbors. Looking for local mutual aid orgs in your area is a good start. If you can't find any, start one yourself! Another commenter here goes into greater detail, but you can start very small! Or arrange some meetups around skill-sharing. You probably have a useful skill or knowledge that others could benefit from, and I'm sure there's things you'd like to learn as well. Doing things like this builds community bonds, and strengthens us all. Don't wallow, get involved!

Learn a new language and get the fuck out. Visit family during elections.

You should be doing the same thing as before. Stacking cash so you might have a chance not to suffer the clown dystopia...

Not sure how people forget this priority online and sweat over regime whores swapping presidents spot.

You're probably better off with some combination of gold, bitcoin, and low-tech durable goods than cash.

Half the peoppe live pay check to paycheck....

I think starting with USD is the proper advice.

If you got enough cash though, you should be buying tbills on treasury direct or at least a moneymarket.

Advising gen pop to buy gold and crypto is not understanding who are you providing advice too
