4. Much appreciated, sheshe2!

My strategy is to reduce my focus and concentrate on myself and my family. I plan to try to live my best life in spite of Trump.

I, too, cannot get over the election. How can so many Americans support a fraudster/rapist/fascist/traitor/criminal/scammer?! The man is toxic but nearly half of our fellow citizens think he's the greatest. Mind boggling. Those are the people I'll avoid as much as possible. (I've given up on friends and family because of Trump.)

I'm getting older too fast. I probably don't have too many decades/election cycles left. I'm going to try to enjoy life on a small scale and keep my head down. I've already begun planning for my son's future and I'll continue to do so. He should be fine, financially, at least.

My best wishes to you, sheshe2! One strength of humankind is our ability to survive. I have faith in us.
