Many of us in New England share your feelings, along with frustration and anger about feeling powerless to stop it.

It’s up to us in the US to stop it. No one else well. Don’t give into despair! We have power; we just need to use it.

At a bare minimum, call your congress people at least once a week. It does make a difference.

Here are some links that may give you some ideas:

People not in the USA also have the power to affect this.

The American electorate has decided that their wallets are the only thing they care about when voting, so we can hit them right there. I'll be doing everything I can to no longer purchase or support US products whenever possible.

I've also sold all the stocks I hold in US corporations.

It maybe helps but as an outside observer the voting didn't seem to be that much about wallets.
