don't be scared.
it's one man who has to act on our behalf for four years, or he loses his job. it's one man who will have his every action scrutinized, every word will be checked for accuracy and nuance. one man who doesn't hold the pursestrings (that would be congress) and can't singlehandedly change the constitution (supreme court).
no matter the outcome, don't be afraid. live your life, be informed, vote accordingly four years from now. i believe one man to be markedly better than the other for the job, but we've had worse men than either of them in the White House before... we've played for higher stakes before.
go vote in november. don't bitch about the outcome whatever it may be. try to strengthen our republic in what capacity you can.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
