Yes, there is no point in trying to make people give up, but rather prepare. Tell them what is (”might”) happen soon, then try to help by suggesting options they could be doing instead of sitting there in a hopeless state. Like learn how to grow food, learn how to sew blankets, learn how to protect yourself, etc. It isn’t “pointless” to teach yourself survival techniques even if you never need to use them. But I do not agree with the give up, die, bullshit. That is just a loser mentality. I do suggest though, that even those people who believe in Q or God or whatever plan they believe Trump has, to still learn survival techniques. What harm can it do? It can help distract you from the mopey attitude many people are allowing themselves to endure at this time.
