Leave, if possible. If not, put your head down, continue to vote/support progressive candidates and ideas. Understand at the same time the futility of this when there only exist 2 right of center parties who will do whatever they can to stop any real reform. Also internalize the fact that a majority of voters actually voted for a convicted felon and insurrectionist fascist, just to maintain a perspective on this hellish reality.
Also just found out that Nevada voted against ranked choice and open primaries (the latter doesn’t seem like a huge loss). We straight up hate democracy it seems.

Missouri did as well. In defense of MO voters, the ballot language was terrible.
