I feel like part of being ready to face a grim future is acceptance that we might not, ourselves, make it. Shit is going to fall apart. In my case it's racing against time to kill me before old age. My concern and my efforts will go towards helping my kids navigate it. It does feel like Trump is hammering on the minute hand of the doomsday clock, though.

    I feel like I'm just trying to run down the clock. I've definitely shifted the balance of future/present considerations (e.g. future planning) more towards the present.
