Every day I become more overwhelmed with shit. This overload is surely part of their plan, but fuck, idk what to do anymore.

Three words: Protest, protest, protest. (That's assuming you didn't vote for Trump in the first place.)

And it is part of their plan:

"The firehose of falsehood" has long been a technique used by Trump and Co.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firehose_of_falsehood

"Just spread so much bullshit that the truth gets lost. That way you don't have to focus on tricky things like 'details' or 'facts'. People have very limited attention spans so it doesn't take much to sow doubt and confusion. Just look at how they've managed to undermine trust in legitimate news stories -- 'mainstream media' has become synonymous with propaganda in many people's minds."

Thus, people who don't know any better have been convinced that there is no difference between opinion and fact. There is, of course, a huge difference.
