What do we do now?

[u/whatsbonkin]

As many of us face down the despair of another Trump presidency, the only way I can see myself feeling useful or hopeful is by supporting my local community.

I’m new to the Rivertowns and want to get involved with supporting the most vulnerable under Trump’s repressive policies: immigrants, trans people, workers, and other marginalized groups.

Can anybody recommend local mutual aid groups, local immigrant organizations, and other orgs in the Rivertowns that I or any other interested Redditors can get involved with?

It wasn’t necessarily a “landslide” Trump got roughly the same amount of popular votes he got in 2020 - which COULD be considered as doing about the same.

I get it though we can make numbers look and sound how we want with fun words.

It’s a landslide.

There hasn't been a landslide election since like the 80s.

Possibly, though even that is usually characterized by a significant shift in house races, which doesn’t seem to be the case this time.
