Keep in mind that even though a bunch of horrible people did some horrible stuff today, just as many people showed up to resist them. Keep in mind that everyone on any of your posts lamenting it was just as horrified as you were. Remember that things like this have happened in this country forever, usually on a much more regular basis, so we're winning. Acknowledge that there are plenty of former racists that have been shown the light and reformed their ways, sometimes becoming the most outspoken critics of the type of people they used to be.
Voice your outrage, condemn their actions, place the blame where it belongs, but don't forget to celebrate the people that resist this garbage. Don't forget to hold onto the victories and the triumphs and the progress we have made while we call out abominable behavior.
Don't let the darkness be all you see in any situation, lest you learn to live there. Be horrified at the atrocities, but take comfort in the fact that the majority of people still think that they are atrocities and agree with you. Our side is stronger, so don't for a moment let them make you think otherwise, because that's how terrorism is meant to work. Don't do their work for them.
