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.

Don't discuss plans on a public forum, do it in person, in private, in a room with no cell phomes or smart devices.

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.

Quick reminder that anyone who had ancestors that got their german citizien ship removed by the nazis has the right to reclaim it.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

I think you mean against him, but regardless I think that asylum claim would be an uphill battle in many countries

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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.

Try to get my prescriptions stockpiled, including hrt for menopause and plan b for my younger cohorts.

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

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 week ago

Cry and immediately start looking for a way out, especially since Congress is also about to turn red

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I dont have money so we'll have to stay here. But if even the Imperial Core isn't safe, what is?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can always disappear in the Outer Rim.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I dont like sand

Heavily consider a vasectomy.

Finish the refit on our boat, move back aboard, and sail away. It'll take another year to be ready to cross the Atlantic.

[–] Volkditty@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Ooo, what kind of boat?

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 19 points 1 week ago

Don't start smoking.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 1 week ago

KMS so they don't get the satisfaction of doing it.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] molten@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Beat off one last time and then hope they aren't right about reincarnation.

[–] OhmsLawn@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Same I'd do if he loses. Just with a heavier heart.

Laugh and change their rep to hostile

[–] tal@lemmy.today 0 points 1 week ago

Drop the car off at the shop for maintenance, same as if Harris wins.
