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.
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.
