The Donald Trump CountDown Timer Avis

We must do everything in our power to avoid making the same mistake twice! For those of us who are worried about the world we woke up to on November 9, 2016, the app is meant to provide an engaging sense of perspective (the CountDown) as well as a toolkit of strategies for activists, protectors, and anyone who accepts that we need to remain hopeful while we resist, protest, and overturn the damaging policies that are coming our way.

The heart of the Donald Trump CountDown Timer (DTCDT or DTCDTimer) conveys an important message: Every second counts! You can join others in watching Trump's seconds of infamy slip away, and you can even customize your countdown by changing from the default “optimist mode” to “pessimist mode,” which counts down to the end of a (hypothetical) second Trump term.

Here you’ll find causes to support, organizations that need volunteers, resources to protect yourself and those you care about, information about the news and the fake news and how to tell one from the other, and links to help you plan or participate in organized protests and rallies.

You can also set your own date—maybe he’ll be impeached! While you're enjoying that sand-through-the-hourglass experience (never mind that there's a lot of sand in this hourglass), you can read inspirational quotes, consider a variety of coping strategies, and plan ways that you can make a difference.

Because we want anyone who needs these resources to have access to them, the Donald Trump CountDown Timer is free and has no ads.

There are quotes to inspire you, strategies to help you face the world calmly, diversions to amuse, and media items that provide a variety of experiences.

Rather than organized sections of resources, as in the ACT section, the REFLECT buttons present you with things to think about, more or less at random, and only a few (often one) at a time.

With this app we’ve tried to strike a balance between our activist inclinations and the more measured way that we need to find ways to cope.

The best thing about a president Donald Trump is that he isn’t a king: he doesn’t get to stay in power indefinitely.

These resources change often, and we will update the app as often as possible to keep the material relevant and up to date.

Resources for activists are found in the ACT section.

Not only does every second count, but so does every effort we make to support one another in these troubled times.

The REFLECT section provides a different experience.

We need to be hopeful, yet vigilant; determined, yet calm.
