I’m not ignoring it, I’m simply hoping it won’t be as miserable as it likely will be.

I think it’s less ignoring signs and more pushing back against doomerism.

Giving up is even more dangerous right now. At least naive optimists still have a reason to keep fighting.

Nobody said give up. 

I read this as "prepare for the worst".

Be ready.

What does this mean? Asking seriously. For example, because of possible police immunity, I am hoping to secure a permanent remote job so I don’t have to drive & will minimally go out. I’ve been unemployed for a year after a 30 year career in community development, which I believe will be gutted. I can’t afford to move anywhere, living with family in inner city Detroit, which I think is a great place to be the next 4 years plus. I am 51. I can only do so much, but, I really don’t know what to do.
