So a lot of relatively privileged people are freaking out, White guys perhaps the most, but your lives might FEEL different but will continue relatively unchanged for quite a while, particularly if you put your head down and play along. So will everyone else's for a while. The veneer of normalcy is actually pretty crucial to fascism, particularly in the earliest stages before kleptocracies are solidly established.

Fascism isn't really a new facet of American life, it's pretty much built into the US political system, things will continue to appear normal for the privileged for a while. Make sure you use that privilege well and for more than just self preservation (and just looking after your own family isn't what I mean here, I mean using it to help those really at risk). This means risking your privilege, spending some of it on other people, because that's always been true and it's always been what's needed.
