Try like hell to move across the pond or Japan.

So I just barely make it into the classes that do well under trump, but I’m very worried as the social safety net is falling apart for most americans, and that republican rule only speeds that problem. I’m going to be trying to strengthen resources that help people trying to make it to self-sufficiency, but I can’t overcome the typical american attitude of “I’ve failed because I need help.” I guess the best plan for most people is to take care of those around them, be moral and resist bad policy by quiet lack of compliance, and try to help good people get out of bad parts of the country so they collapse all the sooner.

nobody's going to do anything. people always say they will but they never do

Get ready for '26. Flipping/Maintaining the House and Senate has to be the priority.

Leaving the country and taking my kids in case plan 2025 starts happening.

Trump will eventually do something that gets between rich people and their money while also being an impeachable offense. The "sane" bussiness republican VP will pardon Trump after his impeachment and have him live out the rest of his life as a fox news call in guest until he died of "old age".

Move in with my friend in the Netherlands. He's wanted me to move even if Biden wins.

Laugh, fart, jack off. Probably simultaneously.

Move to New Zealand. TBF, I'll probably move there if doesn't will as well.

Lots of head shaking and tsktsking but no real action

i'll be ready to observe everything, and get a documented first hand account of fascism (assuming it happens)

Otherwise, i'll probably just shit and piss myself hoping nothing implodes. while staying very far away from the internet.

As an athiest, go get on Jesus' good side and hope for a better afterlife

Move faster and work lots of overtime to get the last of my debt paid off then going to a friends place in Mexico. I speak Mexican Spanish well enough so I can avoid areas filled with expats.

Nothing. Like last time.

Hope that Canada or one of the Nordic/EU countries have job openings for an engineer.

Same thing as last time.
