now that the presidential results are out– for the love of whatever, don’t berate people for coping with humor. what else should they do? people are devastated, people don’t feel safe anymore. let them do as they need to.
also, don’t yell at people who cope by not posting about it. don’t yell at the people who cope by continuing their usual routine centered around the things that make them happy to think/talk about. this is seriously fucking scary, and disconnecting in order to collect yourself is not the same thing as turning a blind eye. and it isn’t like anyone in (or even out of) the states can truly “ignore this” anyways. regardless, take care of yourself before anyone else.
