Don’t Resort to Catastrophic OR Wishful Thinking about this Election

by Ken Druck Ph.D

Nov. 1, 2020 – 1. Take a deep breath and reframe “Election Day” as Election Month. The election is probably going to play out over a period of weeks. Avoid the emotional roller coaster by pacing yourself and rethinking your expectations about when we’ll know who won.

2. Stay safe. There will be people protesting in the streets after the election no matter who wins. You may choose to be one of them. And there’s going to be a period of chaos in our nation if the election is contested. Tensions are running very high. Be mindful of danger by staying distant from people and groups that are looking for trouble. Sadly, there will be bad actors in the streets who will put themselves and others at risk. Report any threats or unlawful behavior to law enforcement and remove yourself from situations that don’t feel safe.

3. Adopt a “Vote for America!” attitude.  As the election is decided, put your country’s well-being above your party’s. Life will go on, and you will have opportunities to stand up and fight for who and what you believe in. Keep the faith! Our democracy is resilient and the large majority of Americans are good people. As the saying goes, “Live to fight another day.” read more…
