If Trump Wins... ?

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...

Same thing I did last time. Hunker down in a blue city in a blue state, worry about my friends and relatives in red states, and do what I can to take care of myself and others.

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.

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?

I'm a trans woman and I honestly think that I very well may end up having to hide myself in my parents attic or something.

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.

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.

Move back to Australia. Thank god I kept my citizenship.

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.

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 20^th Century.

Keep my head down for 4 years just like last time.

Just going to hope that the Democratic institution is strong enough to survive another 4 years.

I happen to also have an EU citizenship. Move to the EU.

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

I've already got my passport, and my partner is getting their's later this year. I've always wanted to finish a masters, and it would be a great excuse to be anywhere else.

Mentally prepare for a civil war that could easily explode into WW3.

Already working on getting permanent residency in another country that doesn’t share a border with the U.S. Not specifically because of loser Trump but we will be more likely to use it if that fucker finds his way back to office.

Honestly, I would be shocked if he ever wins another election or somehow manages to come out on top. He lost by a lot of votes last time. Since then, we watched him on TV while he incited an insurrection, his subsequent behavior suggests he may want to start a civil war, a jury determined he is a rapist, and enough other shit to write a book series.

His post-presidency career is selling NFT’s, shoes, begging for handouts from his idiot followers, criminal defendant, and whatever other scam he thinks of when he wakes up. He’s a petty hustler who inherited money. He’s a loser.

More importantly, he is a criminal. He can’t help himself. He is going to cheat in the election because he cheats at everything. He cheats on his wife, cheats on his taxes, cheats in golf, cheated in an election. He is going to cheat and he will be caught red handed. It’s not unreasonable to wonder if he might get himself arrested for what he does in this election.

He’s already facing four criminal trials. He’s not beating 91 felony charges, especially when most of them are from the feds. They don’t lose cases and they don’t bring high profile cases unless they have the defendant dead to rights.

He is toast and he knows it, which is why he’s so desperate to delay the trials and win the presidency. He is arguably a domestic terrorist. He is arguably a national security threat. The three letter agencies are probably on him like flies on shit. If they’re not, they fucking should be. I don’t believe he will ever be permitted to set foot in the White House again, and that’s assuming he wins in the first place, which he won’t, or cheats his way to victory, which also won’t happen. He's done.

Probably leave the country for a while. That's one of the nice things about being dual citizen. I understand this doesn't work for everybody, and there are probably other maybe better responses, but that's my first thought.

Die I guess.

As a Canadian, my next step is to worry about whether we, stupidly, elect the Russian asset known as PeePee up here during a Trump administration across the border.

This scenario would pretty much just turn all of N America into a facist continent. Corruption and corporate rule would create social chaos and upheaval.

Both our countries are on their last breaths as it is.

It's fun to joke that I'll just lean into the evil.

I'm worried people around me will actually just lean into the evil, tho.

Canadian here

Try to evacuate my American GF up here. We're both disabled but I will do anything in my power to get her up here

@TokenBoomer@lemmy.world

OP, Please make the title a question.

get better job after all the good people leave the country

if you are a loser brain drain can be a real boost for morale and promotions!

Currently torn between stockpiling guns so I can get flashbanged and black vanned in the middle of the night by the Gestapo and illegally emigrating to Canada.

On the one hand, that first one will be annoying, on the other, I hate snow.

keep organizing and doing food solidarity work. spread anarchist propaganda. keep pwning the libs. is that unsportsmanlike?

I mean... I'll just keep on building the revolution. you?

No matter if that criminal wins or not, EU needs to fend for themselves. The US is a lot more unreliable then Poetin (we know he's a bastard).

Continue living outside of the US, which means I'm not doing anything, really. If the US were to get stupidly unstable, pull my remaining assets out and maybe try to get Visa for family to come here (Japan), but that seems unlikely to happen.

I mean, I get it. If he were to win again things would get much worse. But I still feel like Republicans are running the country right now anyway, and things are only very slightly better than they were under Trump. Ok, some environmental things were rolled back from Trump policies. There was some student debt relief. But all the big things they're telling me to be scared for if he wins again, I'm already scared about right now. The Supreme Court corruption, the influence of money in politics, Russian interference, sympathy toward Israeli genocide--those things are doing as much damage as Trump could, and Democrats are ignoring it all!

I've been stockpiling currencies and practicing another language, while looking into citizenship through my heritage. Also been reading a lot of info over on resisters.info I've never really been one to worry about stuff like politics to this degree, but the world as a whole is just getting so crazy and I just want to be able to live a peaceful life, so I want to prepare incase.

Try and see if my international employer has any semi-permanent positions overseas.

But more likely than not, return to introvert and hope my family doesn't continue to devolve...

Seppuku

But for real idk. My wife is an obgyn and I'm Hispanic soooo I feel like we might be in danger.

Already moved on to a boat, I'll either be staging to leave, or already out of the country, when the election is decided. Depending on the results I'll be back in the spring, or not.

I'm thinking on going to south america, I would rather go to Europe, but If Trump wins its very likely he will allow Russia to go and invade other nato members starting ww3

Try not to leave the house too much. For four years.

I can't afford housing here anyways so I'd genuinely expend a lot of my life savings to try to move to Europe, at least temporarily. Yes, yes, "everywhere has its problems". I just want new problems I guess.

Well, I ain't got enough funds to go anywhere, so just wait it out as the world becomes one giant fascist world where I'm supposed to Nazi salute every single police officer and slaughter anyone who isn't white, Christian, and ultra conservative.

Waiting to buy a house until after this election. Blue enough city doesn't matter.

Move to Canada

Move to Alaxka

Move to Antarctica

Move to the UK...

My state will be largely unaffected, we'll still have decision makers of the opposite extreme.

Just finished reading a book during WW2 and damn. These comments, they're earily similar.

I’ll just go on living my life in Norway, fielding questions left and right like “is it really that bad/racist/scary in America?”.

This too shell pass.

Honestly, he is so incompetent, and he is so focused on himself that other than theatrics, I do not expect him to be any different from average republican president in terms of policies. Those policies will be formulated by whomever he likes at given moment.

Probably laugh at all the socialists that crossed their arms and refused to vote when they whine about how shitty things are going to be- while knowing they could have changed things had they not stayed home.

And drink a lot.

Nothing like 2016.

Lemmy, Trump live in your mind rent free.

I was going to warn you that most Lemmy users are leftists but I guess your question is loaded to begin with
