I think part of "the resistance" will be to spend a whole lot less, which I think we're already starting to see folks do. The effect of that will not be good for the economy, but tRump doesn't deserve the Biden economy. January is always a bit of a bleak month for retailers; I'm guessing it'll be worse than normal. A whole lot worse.
I'm still mostly ignoring news. Planning next year's gardening task calendar. Making sure my deep pantry doesn't have any holes in it based on current consumption. Questioning whether I have any big ticket items before the end of the year to deal with. Deciding that we'll be taking our 401k draw on January 2nd as a lump sum instead of spreading it out through the year. Doing the math on Dh taking social security now rather than waiting for full retirement age.
