What will you do if Trump wins the presidency?

[olegramps]

For my part I am just to old to have to think of moving, but I might think about it. I might look into a retirement in the Caribbean although it would take me away from what family I have left. I would be open to suggestion if it came to having to endure Trump for four more years.

[Claustrum]

1. I am leaving the country for sure.

It will take me 5 years to get citizenship there so I can re-evaluate once that is done. But be sure, I will vote aboard and hopefully get a democrat in to fix the problems so I can come back.

3. Hubby and I will leave also. He will destroy the US

[Claustrum]

13. I don't know exactly what he will do.

But I know he won't deal with COVID properly and it will eventually destroy the economy. He won't need the fed to pump up the stock market anymore and I predict the drop will be steep. I am leaving before it becomes more out of hand than now.

But I am hopeful that I won't have to do that. It's just that I am prepared and an opportunity came up in the last few weeks that gives me the option to leave if I need to.

[olegramps]

15. I would just like to add to my original post.

Trump's refusal to take the proper actions to halt the spread will make the next four year virtually like a prison. Right now I am unable to go anywhere for fear that I will get the damn disease. I only see the my son and grandchildren once a week and we try to observe all the necessary precautions. I have four grandkids here. 'Two are older and through college; the younger two are in high school. I really can't expect them to become hermits. So I just have to physically maintain the "safe distance" when they are around. This isn't living. It is a damn shame we have come to this.

2. Same thing I'll do if Biden wins.

I'll keep doing the work I'm doing now in decarceration, anti-racism and protection of abortion access.

30. ...

[roamer65]

4. He won't win it. He may STEAL it.

If he STEALS it, I plan to back the secession of certain regions of the country.

CA, NY, New England, MI and other states of the Great Lakes region. The governors of these states need to start talks with PM Trudeau immediately to negotiate confederation with Canada.

[olegramps]

16. I guess that leaves out Florida. Screwed again.

[roamer65]

26. Move north while you can.

Sell your property down there while it’s worth something.

In 30-50 years it will be underwater, literally.

[cwydro]

31. Didn't most of those treasonous cretins come out of Michigan?

Looks like not everyone is on the same page there.

[johnp3907]

5. Keep on rockin'!

[Polybius]

6. Work hard to make sure a Democrat wins in 2024

And pray that Breyer doesn’t retire.

[Voltaire2]

7. drink

[Greybnk48]

8. Join a LEFT wing militia, and try to overthrow him. N/t

[roamer65]

27. THIS.

[Amishman]

9. Cash out retirement funds

Pay off what debts I can, buy silver and cryptocurrency.

Four more years of Trump (and especially his ineffective covid leadership) will crash our economy sooner or later.

That being said - it's not happening. Joe will be president.

[Bayard]

10. I'm in la la la la la land

I can't even contemplate him winning. I've already had enough living nightmares in my life.

[moonscape]

11. My mind won't go there so I don't n/t

[mzmolly]

12. You mean steals?

No idea.

[mfcorey1]

14. Know that in four years his ass has to leave!

[olegramps]

18. He has indicated that he would want to change it so he could be president for life.

[Karma13612]

23. He can't do that on his own.

And the Senate would not agree to such an abomination.

Not sure who else would need to be involved, but it wouldn’t be in the cards.

There certainly are things to worry about if he wins, but that is not one of them.

[olegramps]

38. If the Senate is controlled by Republicans they could very well do it.

The number of terms was changed following the death of Roosevelt who had four terms to a limit of two terms. A Republican controlled Senate has demonstrated that it has no qualms in dramatically changing the rules to suit their purpose. The latest example of the nomination and lifetime appointment to one of the most radical judges ever placed on the court demonstrates that the Republicans are determined to control regardless of precedence and basic decency.

If the Democrats win a majority in the Senate they should not hesitate to alter the court just as some six other presidents have done. We are in a fight to preserve the democracy which the Republicans are determined to transform into a system in which the president has absolute authority to do as they wish. A virtual dictatorship. It would relegate the Congress to little more than a rubber stamp outfit as in China and Russia. It is not a new development but one they have been attempting to implement dating from Nixon to the present. We are in a fight to save the Republic and I hope every loyal American grasps the danger that the Republicans have place it in.

[Different Drummer]

17. I'm prepared for that and this will be my response.

[Doodley]

19. No. We should not leave. We should stay and fight for America.

[bdamomma]

20. Wins

or steals is more like it.

Let's not think defeatist we will win. Just VOTE like your life depends on it.

[Kid Berwyn]

21. RESIST

In every way that I am able, just like I’ve done for almost four long years now.

[Norbert]

22. Not going to happen. The idiot will lose.

[helpisontheway]

24. I will be devastated. Not sure how I would survive 4 more years of Trump

He causes so much stress in my life. 😢. These shitty polls today are stressing me out. Wish we could have skipped the last debate. If he gets a bounce for stringing a sentence together I’m gonna be so pissed.

[kurtcagle]

25. Work toward Blue Secession

If Trump wins, then I think the country is even more badly compromised than I had feared, likely irretrievably. At that point, I think it's time for Plan B: work to establish Cascadia. Create a Pacific Alliance, and an Atlantic Alliance Rebuild a base on step at a time.

I hope it doesn't come to that.

[Nay]

35. That's where I am. I read Ecotopia 50 years ago and agreed with every word. Let's split it

up, folks! I'll move to a northern border state and we can clip off the whole top of the US, if Canada will have us.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

28. The reality is, almost no country, at least no country you'd really want to move to

will let any of us in. Canada basically closed its border back in March or April, and shows no inclination to open it back up. All of Western Europe is out. Maybe places like Vietnam and Malaysia will let us in. And so on.

I keep hoping My Son the Astronomer, when he gets his PhD in a couple more years, will accept a permanent job in some country that's good to live in and will look kindly on his mother relocating with him.

In reality, relocating to another country is not going to be at all easy while this pandemic is still happening. And it's going to be happening for several more years. At least.

[Happy Hoosier]

29. I'll hunker down and do the best I can.

I may try to find a way out of Defense work if that happens, though. I REALLY don't want to contribute to a militarized fascist America.

[Totally Tunsie]

32. I've already warned my son and his family

that a tRump win will guarantee my spending a whole lot of "vacation" time with them in Sweden, where they moved last July. In fact, not more than a half hour ago I was discussing this very possibility with them, and they concur.

How does one survive another four years of this treachery and misery? At my age, throw in COVID, and the possibility of demise rises exponentially. It may well be that, if tRump wins, he'll be the last president of my lifetime, and that's NOT acceptable. I understand the dismay of RBG when HRC didn't win in 2016. She thought she still had time to retire gracefully and let HRC pick her successor. How sad that didn't work out for her and for us.

[Politicub]

33. I don't have the means to leave the country

Unless I can apply for asylum for being gay, should the gay community be targeted by the government, I don’t see a path for emigrating.

I would love to live in Canada, but I wouldn’t have enough points to be granted citizenship.

But it looks like I’ll be here, fighting, and learning to live under a dictatorship.

[Doreen]

34. Get ready as possible to be homeless.

Just hold onto my life now as much and as for long as I can.

If donny steals his way in again he will not be leaving. He will fix it so there will be no other election.

I would not be allowed into another country because I am disabled, poor, and have no useful skills.

[BainsBane]

36. never get out of bed

Burn the television.

[Progressive Jones]

37. If I was to tell you, I'd have to make you "disappear". nt

[NurseJackie]

39. If I was younger (with in-demand job skills) I'd try to move to somewhere in the UK.

But, I'm old and I don't have enough money for that. I've got about 15 years remaining in my life (in good times) but with Trump in charge, I'd probably not survive all four years.
