I thought as much. What is happening in the US should be lesson for people here as to what not to do. Sadly, there are plenty who think that is the right direction to take.
Just yesterday I saw dome dork in a MAGA hat in my neighbourhood. My initial reaction is punch someone line that in the throat (had family that died under Nazi occupation), however the best thing to do is ignore their colours and educate others.
For now at least. I have a feeling that the high ground will not be option much longer. Really hope our leaders and media call this shit out for what it is.

I knew the election had a very heavy emotional effect on some here.
We and the world survived his previous stint in the Oval Office. Weâll make it again.

The world has survived a lot of things. Weâve also lost a lot of things we shouldnât have doing so.
I know you mean well, but be careful. Saying something like that to someone whoâs literally a cunthair from being rounded up really doesnâtâ come across as anything other than toxic positivity.

I wasnât quite sure if I should have said anything or not and even trying to be well meaning itâs being taken quite negatively so Iâll go back to staying quiet about it.

Everyoneâs at peak shaved monkey touchiness (to quote pratchett) 'cos it absolutely fucking sucks. Itâs insane.
Donât be quiet. Let people know youâre there for them. Let them know you donât think this is ok. Let them know you think it sucks and you hope there are better days ahead - but yeah, be aware that platitudes can sound so, so hollow right now.
