Ask Lemmy

Laugh, fart, jack off. Probably simultaneously.

Spend a solid week posting screenshots of my comments on this platform about how the DNC is digging their own grave after they inevitably blame the voters for their loss just like in 2016.

Vote. He's not allowed to turn this country into a "shithole country" in his words.

Same thing as last time.

Well apparently there are no negative consequences for staging a coop.

Just keep doing what I am doing. My kids will have citizenship in my wife's home country by the end of summer. So I can get them out if I have to. Me personally I am in no real danger.

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

Not sure. But my partner and I have an out, we will probably move to their home country and start a new life there if need be. It's kind of hard to determine when the right time to leave is.

Panic

Someone has already opened an opportunity for me to move to the UK, but for non-political reasons. Though it will remain an option.

Stick around and keep trying to improve the country despite everyone else's best efforts to fuck it all up

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.

Jump ship. Honestly, I’ll execute plan “leave the U.S. while it’s still possible.”

As much as I fear what Trump will do to the nation it probably won't have much of an effect on me personally.

I live in a deep red state that's already about as corrupt and authoritarian as it can be, of course that's never really true- but it's not like it's being held up by anything Trump will target. The powers that be and a wide majority of the population are already fully subservient to Trump so it'll just be business as usual here.

I'm middle-aged, own my home, no dependents, all the childhood friends I've had that would be vulnerable already moved away and I have a pretty small circle of family\friends and not really looking to expand. And have a good position that's very insulated from economic and political turbulence. I'm also a cis white male and a gun-owner, I blend pretty seamlessly unless I tell people what I think about state\national politics. And I love the food and nature here. Also I kinda can't imagine job hunting at this point at all, let alone in another state. I'd like to live in a place that better reflected my values but I don't actually think that would help me or anyone else.

I'm established here and I don't really have any incentive to leave. Nobody is coming for me here and me moving to a Blue state won't help anyone there. And my accent has made people react negatively to me in the past and I'm worried I'd actually appear to be more of a fish out of water in those places than I do here, even though that's kinda what I've always been here. I vote, I donate. I used to volunteer but I'm tired now. Weird that I've made such a comfortable home in a viper den but we make lives how and where we can.

I know it's just my privilege to say this but no matter what happens in 2024 my life will be pretty much the same for the foreseeable future. Intellectually I worry a lot about the fate of the nation and humanity but personally I worry more about collapsing global trade and infrastructure fucking up supply chains and creating civil unrest that will effect me personally. But idk what to do about that but worry so I guess why worry...

Just keep on living without trying to let the complete bullshit affect my well being.

Why wouldn't you want a man-baby rapist pedophile as president? He's good enough for the republicans.

Before the election we will be preparing bugout bags for my nuclear family and establishing concrete plans to flee.

After the election, if Trump wins we will monitor and be ready. At the first sign of trouble we get out of dodge. I have the ability to get EU citizenship for my family if need be. In the meantime, my wife and I have skills that can get us the privilege to move into some countries based on their employment needs.

My family and I would have reasons to be targeted by white nationalists if they felt empowered. I have received semi-threatening letters from such people in the past.

I hate that we have to think this way, but we do.

Regardless of whom is elected, I’m going to keep listening to Bernie Sanders’s podcast, which I just discovered.

He’s just a few episodes in and is still learning, but it’s gonna be a really good podcast.
