Seriously, what are you going to do if Trump wins?

[Matthew28]

Seriously, what are you going to do if Trump wins? I am going to hope like hell we hold the house to control the budget and even better the senate. Of course if we hold the senate then that brings up another question on why Harris couldn't win, but someone down ticket from Texas or Nebraska could win, while holding all purple and blue states downticket. Looking at A and B polling suggest that the downticket is doing about 3-5% better depending on the state. We're winning Arizona and even Ohio! Polling suggest by 5-8% and 2-3% for those states and We're doing 2-3% in Wis and Mi in senate races.

Sadly even if we do hold both houses Trump can do a hell of a lot of damage with the presidency.

[Meadowoak]

1. Especially if he suspends the constitution on day one. It doesn't matter

Who has the house and senate

[RandySF]

2. Drugs

[kerry-is-my-prez]

5. I'm going to turn into a Valium addict. It's the only drug I can see getting addicted to.

Although it’s hard to get. I only got it once because I have so many allergies and knew that I wasn’t allergic to Valium.

[underpants]

79. 🏆

Best.

[keithbvadu2]

3. Worry about Vance taking over.

[S/V Loner]

31. You won't have to worry long...

That is the whole plan.

[onenote]

53. And how is this "plan" going to be carried out?

Do you think Trump is going to leave office with a big smile on his face?

[Attilatheblond]

80. Feet first is most likely

If they try to 25th him, he will raise the maga militia to fight fight fight, unless they give him full pardons, kill all other investigations and assure a lovely 'severance' package.

[onenote]

88. No one is going to "25th him" since that would take a majority of the cabinet he appoints.

So no "maga militia".

[S/V Loner]

100. He will get a pardon if he leaves...

and staying out of jail is a big motivator not to mention he still gets to bang the "I beat them" drum and then pay golf. He will take the deal because Thiel, Musk, and the other billionaires want their boy Vance in there. They are not going to give him an option. They only tolerate trump as a means to an end. Control of Vance is that end.

[onenote]

122. He's not worrying about a pardon unless and until he actually is ordered to serve time

And that's probably a long way off, if ever, given that he still has appeals left. And once he's in office, Thiel etc have no sway over him, even assuming they ever really did.

[Native]

152. Oh I definitely think it's on his mind and he's worried. I mean he's already talking about possibly pardoning Hunter.

He wouldn't be doing that unless it would be beneficial to him.

[onenote]

168. How would it be beneficial to him? Maybe he thinks it would be but more likely just another lie.

Why would he dangle that possibility? Mostly to make it sound like he's not going to engage in the kind of political retribution he accuses the Biden administration of employing. He's lying about the Biden administration and he's lying about not intending to engage in political retribution. And he's lying about pardoning Hunter.

[Native]

170. I'm sure he's got some convoluted deal in his mind that he thinks he can pull off

Let's say he's given a prison sentence in November, but, God forbid, he's won the election. You pardon me, and I'll pardon Hunter. I'm sure his addled mind hasn't even considered the fact that Biden could pardon his own son. Or perhaps he's thinking Biden will come to his rescue if he loses and is faced with a prison sentence because he has spoken out about Hunter not deserving prosecution. I just know that he doesn't cut anyone slack or even think about it much less mention it unless there's something he thinks he can gain from it.

[onenote]

171. He knows he's not going to be sent to prison in November. Even if he's sentenced it will be stayed while its on appeal.

It will be a long time before he would actually have to begin serving a sentence.
Consider Steve Bannon -- he was sentenced to prison in October 2022. He began serving that sentence in July 2024.

[Think. Again.]

4. I really can't figure out the answer to that question, I have no idea what I would do.

[soandso]

15. What did you do last time?

[Think. Again.]

26. Last time he was certainly less dangerous, resentful, and prepared to do harm than he is now.

[FalloutShelter]

6. I absolutely refuse to believe

Folks are going to vote for down ballot Democrats and then vote for TSF. Makes NO SENSE… not this year.

[NoRethugFriends]

11. "Makes no Sense" stopped making sense a while ago

[Captain Zero]

75. Think racism.

Then it makes sense in their warped mind.

[Think. Again.]

30. Who wins the actual vote is only one way he might take power again.

(We saw it happen in 2000.)

[Quixote1818]

7. Brace and hope in 4 years we still have a country left to re-build. nt

[shelshaw]

8. Promptly leaving the country

I'll return with the allied powers to help rebuild whatever might be left afterward

[edisdead]

9. I will check out of politics permanently

I will focus even more on my kids and making sure they know right from wrong. They will need it in a world where the country largely does not. If the country goes this way, I will be too busy preparing for how to teach my kids to live in it for much of anything else

[catbyte]

10. Start buying lottery tickets so I have a (very slight chance) to get the hell out.

I love Michigan but I refuse to live in Nazi Germany-lite. Or maybe not-so-lite.

[a kennedy]

12. I really don't know what I'll do.......

really, I don’t know. I am trying so hard not to think about it.

[sinkingfeeling]

13. Seriously, leaving the country for good.

[soandso]

16. For where?

[sinkingfeeling]

25. Ireland and New Zealand.

[soandso]

51. Do you have connections or citizenship

so you could get legal residency? I though NZ was hard to get into unless you're rich.

[meadowlander]

118. You just need to have a job on the skills shortage list.

It's not easy to waltz in but if you're prepared to put 4-5 years into it and retrain in an in-demand industry pretty much anyone can do it.

https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/already-have-a-visa/one-off-residence-visa/2021-resident-visa-scarce-lists/long-term-skill-shortage-list

It's also harder if you're over 50, have a significant health condition, or have any kind of criminal record.

[sinkingfeeling]

62. 3 month visa in Ireland and 3 month in NZ and 6 months roaming.

[Hekate]

139. Interesting, as they are at opposite ends of the Earth

[LtTx]

147. Yep

We have our Irish passports ready!

[Native]

154. Me too! Best investment I ever made.

[enid602]

176. Uruguay

Uruguay. It’s one of very few countries where you only pay taxes on actual wages earned in Uruguay. Will convert my traditional IRA into a self directed IRA, so I can buy a parking lot or apt units there. Will sell house and wire proceeds to a bank in Montevideo.

Will rent a nice apt in Pocitos. Go to the beach (Piriapolis, Punta del Este) a lot. Try to forget.

32. That might not be an option.

[GP6971]

87. Hi Sunshine!!

Remember to give our pizza delivery driver a generous tip.

[misanthrope]

17. Get my last will and testament in order

The incoming regime will likely remove my access to health care. With my chronic disability, it won't take long for me to die.

[Matthew28]

18. I'd probably stop having faith in the future of this country

Probably just find a nice mountainous area to hide out in just in case things go down hill if he sends in the military...I hope he just goes insane and starts talking to the wall instead.

[brettdale]

19. If Trump wins

The GOP will have the house and senate, no one who votes for trump is splitting their vote.

[Blue Full Moon]

96. Believe you are right but sincerely hope not.

[bdamomma]

20. We will win!!!!!

Stop this defeatism, we will stop hate and division. We all need to vote!!!!!!

21. Call my financial advisor about my investments.

[beaglelover]

22. Be very depressed for a few days. Then realize life goes on. We'll more than likely regain the House so

he will be very limited in what he can do. He'll need to resort to illegal executive actions again. Of course, he'll get to appoint at least 1 more SC justice, so that will suck.

[FelineOverlord]

23. It's a secret

Let's just say I will NEVER accept Trump back in office again.

[kelly1mm]

112. Like those that say 'Biden's not my President'? nt

[FelineOverlord]

115. More like

Absolutely refusing to accept a Christofascist dictatorship which the GOP is promising us if Trump slithers back into office.

Much as I disliked Bush The Lesser, I don't remember him threatening to send the military to slaughter Americans if they disagreed with him.

Trump supposedly wants Michael Flynn in any future regime.

[kelly1mm]

117. OK and 'absolutely refusing to accept a Christofascist dictatorship' means more or less than

my Grandpa saying 'Biden is not my President'?

[grobertj]

24. Pray for our country

[struggle4progress]

27. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

[delisen]

28. Join the Resistance.

Everyone can do something. Even people with dual citizenship who are younger than I can leave the US and work on a liberation movement from abroad if necessary.

We have seen citizens of other countries do it when necessary. A big advantage we have is that there will be millions of us and we will prevail. I don’t see us folding or falling for divide and conquer.

Of course I think will win this election and it will not be necessary for anyone to leave. Not holding the Senate for the next two years might present a problem and might delay the Supreme Court reform but that just means we will have a very active two years countering the authoritarians

[StarryNite]

138. Life won't go on for everybody if he destroys our healthcare.

Life is already ending for women because of what he's done.

[electric_blue68]

175. Racism, and sexism will increase, along w anti-immigrant atmosphere, AND IF we lose the Senate, don't get The House..

back there'll be millions of people in serious danger if there's cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid! Lot's of Americans only have those as resourses, and their health care.
😬 🥺

Also Anti-Semitism will probably increase even more.

So maaaaybe your life will go on more, or less the same - a hell of a lot people’s lives won't.

[southmost]

36. the racists will become even more bold

Last time those emboldened racists gave me my pink slip after working for a large corporation for 25 years... it will be another 4 years of playing survival 😬 and this is by no means an exaggeration

[Grown2Hate]

37. I constantly check my home value vs what I owe, my full 401K if I pulled with all of the penalties, my small, modest,

crypto holdings, and my savings and try to see how much I have to be able to get out of the country. Been learning Spanish on Duolingo. I have a few Mexican American friends thinking the same way. Not so much a PLAN as a concept of a plan.

145. He does NOT have immunity. Have you not actually read the decision?

The courts get to make that determination. Gee, I wonder how they will decide?

[Biophilic]

If trump wins there will be plenty of time after for us to be overwhelmed. Right now we need to be positive and fight, not fad away with fear.

41. Hunker down

I live in red hell. I’ve learned to keep my head down.

[SupportSanity]

42. Leave the USA. If Trump wins.

Very sad to even think about it. But if Trump wins, I think things will get horribly bad extremely fast.
I've been planning this for a while, just in case Democracy loses.
This won't be Kamala losing, this will be Democracy losing.
I believe that Trump will do what he has promised.
Less and less freedom every day.
Leave before there won't be a way to leave.
"May I see your papers, please"

I'm still dumbfounded .... that there are so many truly awfully bad people in this country. And that these truly awfully bad people are all waiting to express their victory in many cruel and sadistic ways. No guilt. No shame. No conscience. No remorse. No justice.

That said, I'm also looking forward to Kamala Harris and Democracy winning this election. I hope I don't need to leave this country. I like it here. And I like Democracy.

141. Hear, hear. It looks different on this side, after all.

[Sparkly]

169. True, but now I have a grandchild...

It wasn't long ago that I didn't think my daughter would live very long. Then I got cancer, and realize I might not. My daughter rallied, and she has a healthy child, who I don't want to grow up in a fascist America.

All of the calculus has changed since 2020. I don't know what would be possible for ex-pats in 2024, especially if Americans leave in droves. So I worry.

[Demobrat]

44. I will never leave California again.

I will just stay right here, try to surround myself with people I respect, and appreciate what I have while I have it.

[Hekate]

142. That's what I've decided as well. This is where we are, we've made plans to help the next 2 generations...

…and barring natural disasters wiping everything out, that is what we will do.

[CTyankee]

161. Same here in CT but I WILL visit CA, NY, MA - where my kids and grandkids live

with one exception which is my oldest grandchild who is 28 and lives and works in Austin, Texas. I am actually a 3rd generation Texan who left and never returned. But folks in Austin are trying to change things and so I know my grandchild is working to change things in Texas and whose family can pay for her flight out of Texas if she needs health care. So far, so good for now.

[Demobrat]

165. I have young female relatives in the Midwest.

I will stay here in case they or their friends need a place to stay temporarily while receiving health care.

[Marigold]

45. I will check out for a while

I plan to unsubscribe from Sling tv where I watch MSNBC and stop visiting news websites. I will concentrate on seriously learning French, and spend 6 months in Canada. Maybe find somewhere else for another few months. At my age I can only go someplace on a tourist visa. And an ugly part of me will enjoy watching the idiots who voted for Trump suffer along with me. Can't wait to see some white bros picking fruit.

[ck4829]

50. Harris will most likely win, but there does need to be a contingency plan...

First off, Democrats need to be united... Deny Trump EVERYTHING. He does not get a dollar for his nazi kleptocrat agenda. If he wants money, his prosperity gospel friends can pray to God to rain down the cash.

Republicans ignored the dow and the stock market's highs for four years, they will not get to crow about any highs after November if Trump wins.

If conservatives make something illegal, then I would encourage jury nullification as an official response.

We have been warned. The country as a democracy will be literally gone.

78. No effing idea. I wont be retiring as planned

Other countries don't just allow you to go live there.

[Florida Dem]

89. If You're Retired, They Actually Do

Most have some kind of a "retirement" visa. I'm a recently retired federal employee. I was already planning to move abroad for financial reasons. But I have some obligations that will keep me here for a while longer. A fascist regime will definitely light a fire under me though. I have a fear that Trump and Musk will f@#& around with my pension, health insurance, and social security. Trump already had proposals to screw around with the benefits of federal employees and retirees last time around but he was blocked by Congress.

I am considering Panama, Mexico, Costa Rica, Thailand, or the Philippines. All of those countries have retirement visas. They have minimum income requirements but they're fairly low and easy to meet. I'm not too crazy about some of the governments but I won't be involved with the local politics. I just want to kick back and enjoy my retirement. My friend is planning to retire to Portugal. That has become a hotspot as of late.

81. Encourage my kids to go to Canada.

We’re only 90 miles from the border anyway, and they and my daughter in law have very desirable careers. I could become a dependent relative, right?

there will quickly be a national ban on abortion. And lord knows that party doesn't give a crap about women's health. Or anything else about us for that matter.

[lapfog_1]

83. Move to Europe

Everyone here should understand that we are prime "second level" targets for investigation and prison. They will think up the crime to charge us with. But for certain we will find our names published on a "target" list just like the civil servants in the DOJ and DHS that were published today. And we will be constantly swatted and harassed and possibly even militia targets for killing if Trump wins.

They will go for top public Democrats first... Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and AOC, etc. Then they will come for "deep state" civil servants" and finally for "communists" and other "enemy of the state". DU falls in that target list.

I will be in the EU and I will pray that the EU ignores any attempt of extradition on "trump'd up charges".

But our names ( which they will get from chicken shit ISPs ) will become known... and we will be doxed / investigated and possibly charged with bullshit crimes that we will have to pay lawyers to defend against..

If we stay even a year or two into the nightmare, it might well progress to the "concentration camps without charges".

Can't happen here? Ask the American Japanese right after Pearl Harbor.

[Florida Dem]

93. Retired Fed Here (DOJ and DHS)

I actually worked for both DOJ (DEA) and DHS so I guess I'm a part of the deep state. As I stated in another post, I plan to move abroad when I finish with some important obligations here regarding an elderly family member. I'm not going to abandon them. But I will get out of the Fascist States of America as soon as I'm able. That won't stop them from going after my financial well-being though (pension, health insurance, and Social Security). So even though I will be in some far-flung location, the fascist POS can still ruin my financial well-being.

Let's hope Harris pulls this out. The fate of the world rests upon her shoulders now. But hey, no pressure.

[Native]

149. That's my concern too. Even with dual citizenship, and having the EU avaliable, with less SS benefits will I be better

off staying here where I can continue to work? We are so fucked if he and his cabal win.

It made me so proud that I raised her well.

150. If your life or livelihood or loved ones could be deported or attacked, I don't think it's premature to be proactive.

If i can't leave for some reason, I'll have to change my last name so I'm less likely to be targeted.

[NNadir]

153. There are a lot of horrible things that could happen to me. I don't drive my car thinking of what I'll do if it...

...crashes, although recently I did crash into a car running a stop sign, and then I found out what I would do, and did it.

It won't be good for anyone anywhere on the planet if the United States becomes a fascist state, but in the case it does, which I don't expect it will, since Ms. Harris has made an outstanding case why it shouldn't, I'll find out what I'll do.

By the way, I don't know what I'll do if I'm diagnosed with terminal cancer, but I haven't lost sleep over that. I lose sleep over other things entirely things that are happening.

162. I totally get you, but the odds of getting run over or even getting cancer

Are not 50/50, and people survive illness and injuries. I wouldn't survive this. The only reason I'm not panicking now is because I have dual citizenship elsewhere and can leave. You're obviously made of stronger stock than I am, and I thank God for people like you.

[NNadir]

164. The odds of dying are 100%. The lifetime risk of dying of any type of cancer is about 20%, non trivial, of getting...

...cancer about 40%.

American Cancer Society Risk of Cancer.

My wife and son make fun of me because I come from a family where we all spend our lives talking about when we die. (I'm hardly immune.)

We would better off if we spent our live talking about how we are living.

I'm expecting our first woman chief executive, and not in a panic over the possibility there won't be such a woman.

[Demobrat]

172. No. More power to you.

[LeftInTX]

121. Clean my house? I will be 90 by the time I finish.

[Hekate]

128. First, knowing that my early vote will be counted last -- afaik the ones cast on voting day are counted first--

In any case, I have no intention of watching the returns that night, knowing that it will take some days for the millions and millions of mail-in ballots to be acknowledged. We have a seriously stupid system, TV pundits and all.

I could be lured to my SIL’s hot tub with a bottle of wine, though. I must admit that if the news is bad, I’d rather not be alone, as I was when Hillary got the guillotine and DU got hacked.

Other than that, no plans. Too old to leave, and the kids and grandkids don’t see what we see.

[appmanga]

129. This is not an option. (nt)

[Jack Valentino]

133. My top three choices would get me hidden or perhaps banned,

so I will just say that I would get on my knees, and say

"God? Remember me?? Sorry we haven't spoken in a long time..."

[Mysterian]

134. Plonk

[OAITW r.2.0]

135. FUCKING PANIC!!!

Seriously, I would expect total incompetence to occur, on Trump's part.

[Different Drummer]

144. A reasonable expectation, based on past experience.

[Belobogmang]

136. going to canada if he wins?

So. Are people actually going to piss off to canada like they promised back in 2016?

[JoseBalow]

137. Sabotage

[PCIntern]

140. Vomit. Then take a shower and then go to work.

Find an additional hobby.

[Baggies]

151. The same things I did from 2017-2020

Minus covid.

[doc03]

155. I survived his last term. I suppose I will make through another one. nt

[WhiskeyGrinder]

156. Same things I'll do if Harris wins.

Continue to work toward liberation in several specific issues, provide direct aid to those harmed by specific policies, and organize with others for change.

[JanMichael]

157. Not sure. But if that goon is pres with the SC house and senate

We are well and truly screwed.

Seriously. What we thought were solid institutions will be dismantled. Replaced by institutions that are 100 percent christofascist.

Maybe hunker down with alcohol and THC and read and garden some. Or maybe leave.

[marble falls]

158. Don't ask, won't tell, maintain plausible deniability.

[rzemanfl]

159. Join the resistance for whatever good a 77-year-old man can do.

[Joinfortmill]

160. If Trump wins it's 1933 again.

I hope my children and grandchildren leave the country ASAP. I am 75. I will stay. And if I have enough courage, I will spit in their faces when they come for me.

[Qutzupalotl]

163. "He suffers more than necessary, who suffers before it is necessary." (Seneca)

[Mz Pip]

166. Turn off the news

I’ll become one of those people who have no idea what’s going on. There seem to be a lot of them. Maybe the people who voted for Trump can tell me how to avoid reality for the next 4 years.

[TxGuitar]

167. We're dual citizens so we would head to Ireland nt

[WDLAL]

173. Continue on with my life and look forward to the next election just like last time.

He still has to deal with congress, just like the last time. He’s not going to declare martial law or round up political enemies. He’ll get passed whatever legislation he can, just like last time. States will continue to pass laws to deal with Supreme Court rulings.

Incremental policy changes will continue as the U.S. population changes. Nothing drastic will happen either way.

[IzzaNuDay]

174. Seek asylum

First, continue studying other languages (i can read at least 4 languages but suck at speaking. The first one I can speak fluently, seek asylum in that country!

[pnwest]

177. I am so convinced Harris will win ...

... it hasn't even occurred to me to have a plan.

Not up until now!

Now you have me scared enough to really contemplate "Holy crap, what WOULD life look like if he really did w...? I can't even make my myself type it out, let alone think about it.
