If Trump (somehow) wins tonight, what will you do?
I am going to be very disoriented, myself. I'm gonna have to start going around just talking with some people who're probably going to be worried as hell. Especially if they're women, LGBTQ, hard working laborers .etc who know and feel like their worlds are going to be broken into pieces.
While I won't immediately leave the country, I'll just be weighing in my options going into next year about where I could possibly go. I'll probably be avoiding social media except for my circle of friends to avoid all of the celebration of the maga crowd. Probably will go on auto-pilot for a while, muting the world and having extreme contempt for America.
Lie down, try not to cry, cry a lot.
Would it be unreasonable to ask to move to another country?
I think since he's threatened anyone who votes for him, we all now are eligible for political asylum.
I think you mean against him, but regardless I think that asylum claim would be an uphill battle in many countries
Quick reminder that anyone who had ancestors that got their german citizien ship removed by the nazis has the right to reclaim it.
It's not something anyone can just do. America's borders are more open than a lot of countries'. You have to apply, and it can be a multi-year process even if you do get accepted. It can cost money too.
I dont have money so we'll have to stay here. But if even the Imperial Core isn't safe, what is?
You can always disappear in the Outer Rim.
I dont like sand
Don't discuss plans on a public forum, do it in person, in private, in a room with no cell phomes or smart devices.
Cry and immediately start looking for a way out, especially since Congress is also about to turn red
I don't think it would phase me that much.
In 2016 it was so out of left field. So completely unexpected.
If he wins tonight (surely he won't, but if he does...) I'll be kinda pissed and scared. I don't think I'll be moving to another country or anything. It would feel a little "been there, done that."
Don't get me wrong. I voted. I voted for Kamala. And I hope the final figures show her winning in a landslide. And I would love to see a blue majority in congress along with her victory. But I'm not expecting good things. And I'm not investing too much in the result emotionally.
If Trump won, I'd probably plan to be a little more shut-in and keep to myself more.
Finish the refit on our boat, move back aboard, and sail away. It'll take another year to be ready to cross the Atlantic.
Ooo, what kind of boat?
I'm going to strat smoking tomorrow if he wins and next week when I see my primary care I'm asking for a four year prescription of Xanax. My kid has sick years of school left and then I'll head somewhere else. Or maybe we leave now. She's already asked if we can go to Canada.
Don't start smoking.
Get up and go to work, hating every fucking day of news about all the stupid shit he’s done. And worry about my future that I can’t make decisions about because fuckface is a man child that only wants anything for him
Try to get my prescriptions stockpiled, including hrt for menopause and plan b for my younger cohorts.
AskLemmy is not the community for US politics. Locking.
Heavily consider a vasectomy.
I will do good where I can with my own two hands.
And will keep investing hard in the stock market. The stock market wins no matter who's in charge.
Laugh and change their rep to hostile
Same I'd do if he loses. Just with a heavier heart.
Drop the car off at the shop for maintenance, same as if Harris wins.
Beat off one last time and then hope they aren't right about reincarnation.
KMS so they don't get the satisfaction of doing it.
Divest from the US economy in my small potatoes Canadian way.
Worry more. Weep for the future. Wait for the tariffs.
