    Resist as much as possible without getting killed. BTW, I’m an Old-White-Guy Boomer. Not all people in my generation are lining up to kiss Trump’s ass…

    God I don’t know. It’d be a god damn miscarriage of justice. I don’t think I could handle 4 more years of it.

    Hunker down, pre budget anticipating more layoffs. I’m “lucky” in that I’m cis, white, male, married, too old for draft. So will also spend my time looking after folks in my community that don’t have those keywords. I am already a friend to all, but will think double about their needs/concerns. (Obviously respecting their privacy). Try to volunteer more than normal.

      Same. If it comes to it, I’ll be a stop on another Underground Railroad. I hope it doesn’t come to it.

    Im a broke woman with chronic health problems in a red state who may be homeless soon and who sure as hell can’t afford to leave and go somewhere better. I guess I’ll just keep trudging along and hope that somehow we’re all being hysterical and things won’t actually get that bad but if they do and if I lose what little social assistance I have I guess I’ll just tap out and call it a life, ya know?

      Easy, just pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Duh. I don’t understand why you haven’t done it already. I kid. But seriously. I hope you get the help you need.

    Unfortunately if the U.S. gets really bad, everywhere will get really bad. If Trump does putin’s bidding, then it will creat power vacuums around the world and will lead to wars. Leaving might be less safe than staying.

    Or it won’t be as bad as predicted and it will just be very bad. Then I’m not sure.

    Well, the first thing I’m going to do is drink myself into a coma. After that, I don’t know. I keep hoping to wake up rich so I can have a lot more options, but that hasn’t happened yet.

    My feeling is that a Trump reelection will be the null result of the American experiment. I expect we’ll shift gears from decline to conflagration that will consume the Constitution, The three Branches, and the Union itself. Best case, we’ll emerge humbled from the ashes much like Germany in the late 20th Century.

    Take advantage of poste election ammo prices falling because conservatives are emotionally driven idiots and stock up.

    I’ve been pursuing getting citizenship in an EU country since my grandparents were born in the EU and came to the US. Their country of origin seems to allow it so I’ve lined up an appointment with an immigration attorney I found online to see if they can help. I’ve started doing DuoLingo for the local language. I can’t do another four years of Trump and I doubt he will leave at the end of the term if he wins. I hunkered down and dealt with it last time but damn I can’t take that stress anymore.

      I’m watching his interview with Laura Ingraham. I started yelling at the TV and started getting PTSD from his first term. I’m really scared of what another Trump term would do to us. I forgot how scary that time was.

      He’ll be in office for longer than 4 years if he gets elected. Much longer.

      Vote, and tell people to Vote, no matter how certain his loss is.
