Unfortunately, yes, but maybe if you can figure out ways to include little or even micro acts of resistance that can be a bulwark against the hopelessness and sadness.

That's a good call. Last time, I got hypervigilant with the news and it was super unhealthy. I need to figure out some micro resistances I can do without having to be glued to current events. I don't want to be ignorant, but I can't take another four years of constant anxiety.
For now, don't even think about the four years. Two years could bring a change. I've been losing sleep, tbh, because everything has had my mind rolling. If you live in a blue state or have a blue district, make it a habit of calling about issues that concern you. That can be one form of resistance.
Also, as a pastor, you're in a position of influence. The pulpit should not be a place for politics, but you can guide others on the lessons most important in this day age (empathy/compassion), and inspire others to take positive steps to help those who may be marginalized or themselves, too.
