I just feel hopeless. I don't think there's anything we can do at this point

  It's OK to feel hopeless. You might want to focus on things that you do have an effect on in your daily life and try not to dwell on the current news. Changes aren't meant to be quick and drastic, our government is designed deliberately so that it was slow. also read into what the EFF does. Stay strong and hang in there.

  Go on protest marches, meet people, consider going on strike. You have economic power, just develop the will and skill to use it in coordination with others. The objective of bullshit policies like this is to lower your morale as much as to change the strategic landscape. You'll discover that venting your anger is not draining but empowering.

  Get organized. There are, depending on your willingness to occasionally bend the law, groups ranging from militant antifa to the organizers of March for Science. You can also call, email or fax elected representatives (this one works at its best when you follow up e.g. with ACLU and their targeted campaigns) - or if you want, also run for an elected office. Surprisingly easy depending on where you live. Or you can just talk with your family, friends and neighbors and explain to them that Trump is feeding them untreated sewage while marketing it as deluxe bottled water. Read up on the latest tweets of Donald Trump, check their validity (e.g. Snopes comes in handy) and show those who you talk to the facts. Sometimes it just needs someone from the "outside" to break a Trump fan out of the Facebook fascist filter-bubble.
