I try to take heart in the fact that the majority didn’t actually vote for him, but it’s cold comfort, considering so many couldn’t be bothered to vote at all.
If it helps (it won’t), voter suppression has been working overtime since like 2012. My ballot didn’t come until the 8th of November, and I couldn’t spring for a surprise voting day flight home. For more local citizens, things like making them wait six hours and banning people from providing water are effective, not because people don’t care, but because people are concerned with immediate survival, so they might have to leave the line to go to work.
He did get the highest percent, but under half of voters. Still fucking depressing, but as numbers were fully counted and confirmed his percentage steadily decreased.
He wants to bring the stock market down, at least until he is in office. It’s what he likes to use as a scoreboard. Since his move to easy federal deficit fell through, he needs to find othe means to be able to pump the market further into a bubble. Watch him change his tune as soon as he is in office. He will probably say, oh well Greenland and Panama decided to take a deal, so "Mission Successful!.. while he quietly releases J6ers and takes even more control of our politics behind the curtain.

We’re kinda fucked.

The majority of people who actually voted did. Who knows what the rest really think, but at the very least they were fine with this.
We’re mega fucked.
Still got less than 50%.

Still fucked though, yes.
Well ackshually! It was a plurality not majority. Not that it actually makes a difference…
Take heart; you are slightly less fucked than Hezbollah
