I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Absolutely
Honestly I have no idea. I live in the midwest and I am rather poor, so I imagine I will just start hording canned food and glare at people through the curtains like usual
I’m working to set up connections to folks in Canada that will be willing to relocate LGBTQ folks across the border.
Kind of odd to ask because of its latitude. But are there any warmer places in Canada really? Does it snow a decent amount everywhere or are some areas different? I know this might be too niche but I figured I’d ask a most likely native.
Vancouver and Seattle have basically the same weather patterns. lots of rain, annoyingly muggy summers, and mild winters.

I believe that they also live in houses in Canada. You won’t be exposed to snow unless you go outside
I like to go outside and take walks easily without having to dress up a lot or worry about slipping
If you’re considering Canada, don’t vote Conservative
Anywhere near a large body of water is going to be quite temperate
Don’t listen to this, it’s a trick to try to get you to move to Thunder Bay!
Maybe be able to finally afford a house with all these people planning to leave the country. Other then that hunker down and deal with shit as it comes like always.

I’m gonna pack all my bags and change nothing about my life.
Same. Plan for the worst, but expect business as usual. Always a good idea to have preparations already made in the event that you need to gtfo on a moment’s notice. With all the natural disasters that occur in my area, it’s kind of a necessity, so I don’t even need the excuse of “What if Trump does a Night of the Long Knives?” to have a bag ready to go.
Chances are I’ll just be avoiding politics for four years so I won’t have to listen to the daily gaffes, blunders, and scandals.
I’m praying for a convenient lightning bolt, or the human equivalent, to take him out. Honestly, a massive heart attack would do.
Don’t make him a martyr.
Okay, he falls down the steps and breaks his neck. And shits himself loudly the whole way.
Live in denial while our country crumbles around us.
We excel at doing fuck nothing when things are falling apart around us.
“As long as others are having a harder time, then we’re doing alright”
Don’t worry, it already is.
And when it’s not crashing down, it’s funding ethnic cleansing in foreign countries instead. Gotta keep the combo going.

How, when being targeted, jailed or killed under fascism?
I would simply shoot anyone who attempted to do any of that to me or anyone else in my care. We should all be prepared to defend ourselves, rather than give in to oppression.

You’re damn right. I’m the kind of man that most men wish they could be.
Trump isn’t going to target everyone. It’s literally impossible for him to do that.
Not all at once. Fascists target a series of out groups, starting with the most marginalized, making the in group smaller and smaller. The more of the rich white cisgender heterosexual Christian male boxes you check, the further down the list you probably are, but you will be targeted eventually.
Assumes he gets a third term, though, and that will not happen without a civil war or massive protests unrest. It also ignores the amount of legal challenges he’ll get, and the Supreme Court can’t rule on all of them.

Chill out, dude. I’m not voting for a Republican in a state or national election any time soon. I’m of the opinion that Trump is a puppet controlled by other Republicans given the fact that Angela Merkel had to explain to Trump 11 times that he has to make trade deals with the EU and not Germany.
The fact that you resort to insults first and communication last (just like hardcore Republicans, by the way) is what’s gonna make the left lose elections and make America worse off.
I am not so sure he is such a puppet. Care to explain? A lot of high flying republicans seem to fear him.
From my limited knowledge of other Republicans, they probably fear his influence and reach. The thing about Trump, though, is that every time I read a recollection of some high-level conversation between him and another qualified official, he always seems clueless. For example, in a 2021 interview, Fauci said that Trump would believe personal anecdotes from “friends” despite Fauci explaining multiple times that anecdotes are less trustworthy than scientific studies:
It was always, “A guy called me up, a friend of mine from blah, blah, blah.” That’s when my anxiety started to escalate.

He’s a puppet because he lacks media literacy and lacks an understanding of logical reasoning, and as a result, he’s easily manipulated by other people with stuff like conspiracy theories. Republicans might fear him because he will win. I fear him because he will make bad decisions not purely out of malice but out of a lack of due diligence and understanding of the effects of his actions.
I already moved. It’s not just Trump that’s the problem, and even if he loses in 2024, or does in office, the issues still will persist. America needs to figure out how to make the judicial system work properly and norms need to be codified. Vast swaths of the population need to change their culture of “us vs them”.
I won’t be going back, the way things work with Republicans, you can’t just move to a blue state, you have to move out of the country.
Where’d you land, out of curiosity?
If it happens and I’m still in this hell hole probably just die.
Continue on as a wage slave hoping to get like a couple weeks vacation eventually.
I’ll sigh, shake my head, and think, “That figures”. And then I’ll go to work, like every other day.
This but perhaps crippling depression as well.
Voting.
Local. State. Federal. Like I always have. I also moved out of a “shithole” state in the words of our treasonous former president.
With China having a severe gender imbalance and a massive generation (age) imbalance, it’s going to cause all sorts of problems for them soon. Big, big fucking problems. And Russia just had all their young men flee, die stupidly, or decide Russia might not be the best place after they’ve released shittons of violent offenders, lol. Russia’s future looks dim at best. Iran isn’t looking too healthy either.
So the bottom line is this: no matter where you go, you aren’t outrunning a shift to a multipolar world, especially one where resources like fresh water and food will be getting more scarce as climate change fucks the world and countries get more desperate, particularly authoritarian ones that are losing a tenuous grip on their people. That shit always causes wars, because humans are too fucking stupid to prioritize science in any other context.
Countries with democracy and immigration and the means to defend themselves and their friends are your best bet. Our fate and your own fate are intrinsically linked because of that.
Depends on what he does. Since I’m in the least likely demographic to be targeted (hmm, unless they start going through political groups I’ve been a member of), probably the same as I’m doing now. If it looks like there will be a civil war, I’d probably try to leave the country, but I guess that’d be too late, and I think a civil war is unlikely. I don’t think many people would be willing to give their lives for… the Democratic party? I think the U.S. will become more like Russia (fake elections in red states [ensuring the Republican party the presidency and congress forever], more brutal police oppression, erosion of rights, opposition leaders falling out of windows, and encouragement of vigilante “justice” against whoever the “enemy” is at the time). I think protests and riots would be the most people would do, and they’d likely be met with increasingly deadly force.
Since covid, I make sure I keep a few months of non-perishables and water on hand in case of temporary supply chain disruptions, and I have plenty of wood to heat or cook with if needed. If there is a severe economic downturn (which is likely to happen in the unstable environment Trump would provide), and I couldn’t find another well-paying job, I’d probably lose my home for not being able to pay my mortgage though.
I haven’t kept 3 months of supplies myself but I keep a list of people that do and that’s almost as good.
Lol. Yeah, I don’t consider myself a “prepper,” and am not preparing for collapse, or any violence really. Just temporary supply chain disruptions so I don’t have to rely on others, the government, and perhaps help my neighbors if they’re desperate enough to want my rice, beans, pasta, and canned food :) I’ve built up a 3 month supply of food over a year or so by just buying double of everything that I need, and when I notice I’m getting low on something, I buy quite a bit more. Water is from rainwater harvesting barrels that I normally use for watering my landscape plants and gardens in the summer.
Organize more and harder.
Maybe do that now
