First; You deserve hugs…

…WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT…
It’s easy to feel discouraged at all the nasty freaks in the world. Have no fear, because much is being done about them and the freaks are NOT the majority.
They are not the majority and only stand out due to their being vocal and outrageous.
I have some words of wisdom…

…from one of the most beloved “Patron Saints” of the Internet.
And I also have a News website…
https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/
…That focuses on WHAT IS RIGHT with the world. Whenever you feel bummed, read this. Remember; The regular news tends to cover mostly negativity because it’s “extraordinary” and it sells subscriptions / gets ratings.
I don’t know what country you are living in but I speak from a USA perspective (so excuse me if I show American stuff). Anyway; In The States, there are a number of groups fighting regressive awfulness…I’ll link a few…
https://www.pfaw.org/
https://www.aclu.org/
https://indivisible.org/
https://www.splcenter.org/
…Here’s an easy hand-dandy resource for voting…
https://www.vote.org/
…and finally…This map…The Blue represents Democrats / Progressives. Watch how the map changes to show who THE REAL MAJORITY IS…

…As long as there is a big majority that knows better, whatever regressiveness legislated won’t really “stick” and WE WILL FIGHT BACK! There is a movement to either reform or abolish of the Electoral College…

https://www.fairvote.org/
…Which gives the “Red” folk an unfair advantage.
The point is is that much is being done and there’s other groups in other countries fighting the Far-Right menace, too.
Finally; The world rise in wingnuttery is due to the work of Russia & Saudi Arabia. If Biden writes an executive order to sanction both both countries can lose some power to influence things (like funding wingnut leaders, wingnut coups and ChristoFascist & IslamoFascist madrassas and missionaries).
…Of course; THE PEOPLE MUST PRESSURE THE LEADERS LIKE BIDEN AND THE REST TO DO STUFF. NO MORE “SET IT AND FORGET IT!”. Electing a leader alone is not the end of it…HOLD THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE, ALWAYS!
Finally…Some parting images…

So stay strong, hopeful and adopt a bit of Cautious Optimism, because there’s and good chance that THE FUTURE IS…
