I had the same feeling as you when I saw the news. Somehow, I have come full circle though.
I have thought for a while now that another four years of Biden would just maintain the status quo. As we all know, more of the same is only marginally better than another Trump term. Isn't this where Trump derives his power? He is worshiped by his base because they see him as anti-establishment. He is the most likely candidate to change a social and political trajectory they can not abide.
If I'm being honest, I kind of feel the same way. The difference is that I dislike completely different aspects of our society than the average Trump supporter. IMO, most of us waste our lives trying to maintain or obtain imagined social positions in a machine that destroys the environment and mostly benefits the elite. I can't see how Trump could change this fact without making it much worse.
Too many people are content within our seriously flawed system. We all know they'll vote for what they see as a lesser evil. If Trump wins and our system erodes at an accelerated pace, we should be prepared to fix and improve it. We should also be prepared to resist a return to the status quo. I realize that this opinion will only appeal to the most frustrated among us, but these ideas are the only way I can handle the prospect of what may come.
I hate to say it, but letting Trump break the system (beyond what he has already) might actually motivate the people who are too comfortable to support true and meaningful change. We need this change to happen across most aspects of our society and culture if we want to secure a better future for life on this planet. This might get me put in a list somewhere, but we need a revolution. I hope it is peaceful. My plan is to watch the situation closely and protect the people I care about by preparing for the worst.
