If you have girls, stock up on pregnancy tests and Plan B. Even if they are still young. The most deplorable people in this country are now emboldened, and there is a greater chance of your girls becoming victims. Don’t let them use period tracking apps.

But also, make sure they realize there is more to this country than our national politics. It is still a beautiful and diverse country, both landscape and people. If you have a good community, get involved so that they can take pride and comfort in their immediate surroundings.

Keep life as normal as possible for them. If they are young, don’t listen to the news around them. If they are teens, don’t obsess over it in front of them but have discussions. Make sure they have critical thinking skills, understand cause and effect, and can understand the complexity of a situation. Simplistic thinking is what got us here (ex. eggs expensive=Biden bad).

Ignore the posters who say you are being dramatic. You aren’t.

Best of luck to you and yours, op!

Thank you for this well thought out reply! Exactly what I needed.

Erase your digital footprint. Have your children erase theirs. If you search online there are many resources on how to do this

If you attend a protest wear a mask and hood so you can’t be identified later via AI

Lock down your credit

Request paper statements for all of your financial accounts. Check your bank & investment balances regularly.

Obtain social security statements of future benefits

Do not allow third parties access to your health records

Should we plan to flee? Should we teach them more about world history and economics? Should we set up accounts that they can access overseas?

I obviously have no idea so help me out here!

Some of you have lost your damn minds.

Yep. Astounding that democrats are opposed to saving money, getting rid of waste and fraud, ensuring women compete in women’s sports, and working toward world peace.

Please tell me you are a troll.

I have a couple of co workers who ex military or in the reserves? They say they are being actively recruited (with better pay, more flexibility) to meet quota numbers. I don’t think a bunch of Gen-Zers are excited about joining.

What cracks me about the rah-rah 2nd amendment folks right now is that one of their main arguments for it was always “we need guns so the government can’t take away our freedoms.” And now that it’s happening, they are cheering it on?

I can promise you that in most places in the country, NO ONE is thinking about or caring about the changes happening. They don't think about politics at all. And if they do, they hear about wasteful government bureaucracy being dismantled in Washington and think, "good," then go about their lives.

They don't care that malaria care is being cut in Uganda. They are happy that their state and local school district will have more control over what is taught. They voted for a guy who said he would install judges to overturn Roe v. Wade, and they got what they asked for.

You might not agree with these choices, but they aren't any less American than you are. It's called a correction. The pendulum swung too far in one direction, and now it is swinging back. I don't necessarily agree with all of it, but I also haven't wrapped myself in tinfoil awaiting Armageddon. That is my recommendation.

LOL.....so we should all move to uneducated red states. No thanks moron.

I don't think this is actually true at all. The actual Army data shows that numbers were highest in August.

I'm not buying anything Fox is putting out.

Maybe let go of the T20 college obsession? It may not wind up being a relevant question.

How is attending church going to help? Many churches are complicit in this mess.

We have decided not to have kids. I’m so sad.
