Dear fellow DUers, I have a question: am I right to be terrified?

89. Absolutely right about voting. The ideas that I posted

are for a worst case outcome. But, better to prevent the worst case from happening.

I've read a lot of books and watched a lot of films about people coping under dictatorships or foreign occupation. I grew up on the story of how my great grandfather escaped the German Empire in 1888 when falsely charged with treason. I learned about my uncle surviving a German POW camp in WWII. Some of the books and films that I've read or seen were fiction, some were based on fact. Some were from WWII and others from different time periods and places. Adjusting for differences in location, technology, and time, there are some general principles of how to cope that can be put to use today. Creative thinking develops out of necessity.

But far better to not have to deal with such a situation in the first place. So do all we can now to prevent it from happening. Stay united and work together to defeat Trump and the dystopia that he would bring.
