Same.

Let's keep a few things in mind:

1) Trump won't really have that much power. Any presidential propositions have to go through tons and tons of hoops before being fully legitimized. While Republicans currently hold a vast majority of powerful positions, not all of them are going to agree with Trump. Remember, like any politician, his platform was built on big promises that he most likely won't be able to keep. There is hope that mass deportation won't actually happen. And forget about the whole wall thing, that has so many legal hoops to go through and construction would take so long that I don't think we'd finish it in four years' time. By which time, we'd hopefully vote someone in who wasn't interested in finishing it.

2) If Trump does manage to take away LGBT rights, you can bet your butt that loads of disenfranchised LGBT and liberal people will vote for someone who will reinstate them next election. Also, the generation after mine (Millennials) are mostly just shy of being able to vote now, but will be coming of age four years from now. They will likely be as progressive as we Millennials are, if not more.

3) Stay strong. The world needs you. Those of us who fit into minority categories have to keep fighting for what we believe in. We can't lose hope.

How am I supposed to limit this chaper to four main points in my synthesis? There are too many important things to limit it to just four. :/

As someone who is having a crappy day due to the elections, and is extremely (and insanely) worried about a closed friend who lives in the US, I needed this. Thank you :/

No, we don't.
Why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves back up again.
