Support your local small businesses so they donโ€™t go bankrupt. Purchasing anything from Europe will have you pay tariffs to support the orange guyโ€™s administration. Oh yeah - vote so the current admin gets weaker.

Other than that - I have limited sympathy for the country that voted in the current chaos willingly making the world unsafe and trying to throw the victim of military aggression (Ukraine) under the bus. And that is coming from someone who is half American with relatives living in the US.
