Throwing a fit doesn't do anything besides make you feel a bit better for a short while. The first thing people should do is figure out how to cope, since the source of their angst is not going away; on the contrary, in about six weeks he'll be settling into his new office. The second thing people should do is figure out how to proceed, which mostly consists of NOT spending the next two years throwing a constant fit and instead reading up on their local government offices and preparing for the mid-terms in two years.

The closest anyone should get to throwing a fit is staying aware of what is happening over the next four years and writing polite and concise letters to their local representatives in the hopes of influencing congressional votes. Or joining local political groups that seek to pressure their representatives into, you know... representing them. If you think that this will be a waste of time, consider that it is being compared to loudly complaining on the internet. Throwing a fit is an effective way of expending a bit of energy, but it has a poor track record of improving anyone's situation. My advice to everyone is to throw fewer fits and put that energy to more productive use.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
