How I coped is after I was sick & tired of being sick & tired I followed the mantra "don't get mad, get even". I decided to turn my anger into constructive action. I joined a local resistance group & a left leaning women's club to be with like-minded people. We support each other & support grassroots Democratic causes. We are plugged into the local Democratic clubs in the area & state where we support Dems local,state & national level candidates. I tell u all the busy activities & being around people whose views are like mine & doing worthy causes with them works wonders for me knowing that I'm actually helping to turn the tide. Try it, I'm sure it will help you.
BTW limiting news coverage also helps alot. I was a news junky as well prior to trump. I now mainly rely on reliable net news sites & watch the local news which usually does very little trump coverage.

Stay strong & channel your rage into constructive action. It's much better than cussing @the tv every time trump coverage comes on or sparring with your family or friends. I live in a sea of red so I can empathize 😊
