The High inflation in the last few years have made people miserable and I can tell from my personal circles many people regret voting for Biden.

How are you all preparing for if trump is re-elected?

I’m making sure that people understand that what they’re hearing is “high inflation “ is really including extremely high corporate profits. Most already realize that corporate profits are championed by Republicans. In my personal circles, no one regrets voting for Biden over Trump, although some do wish that voting for Elizabeth Warren had been a realistic option.

As to “miserable “ — so many people in my circles were made miserable by having a racist like Trump, with clear mental and emotional challenges as Commander in Chief. That prospect far overshadows the genuine challenges of inflation, which is actually lower than the inflation rates in many other countries. They also get — see my first point — that having a Republican President is highly correlated with problematic economic outcomes for most people and businesses not in the top 1 - 10 percent. They — and I — will vote accordingly, no matter how much the Trump-bots post.

Oh thank god for this explanation. I’ll remember that the next time I pay $300 to feed my family for 4 days, or $65 to gas up my car.

Thank whoever you like. After you pay your bills, take a look at who is benefitting from your payments. If you’re spending $300 for 4 days, you might want to reach out to people who can help you budget better.

And understand that the big corporations who are sucking up all of your dollars are totally enabled by the Republicans.

Democrats actually care about struggling families/workers.

Trump is a symptom of bigger issues - ones that aren't easily fixed or perhaps are not fixable in the foreseeable future. I think the USA is in decline and it's going to get worse before it gets better. I believe the EU is going to start to leave us behind permanently if we re-elect Trump and they will become the dominant world power.

It's very clear that our governmental structure has held together over time on the principle of self-policing/honor system. I don't think it can withstand another off the rails administration - Trump or otherwise. There will be nice pockets of the USA aligned to the politics of the people who live there. Perhaps we can live with that level of fracture. We'll see. I just want my kids to have options.

This. My teen is approaching college. Going to school or attending a program elsewhere is a very real possibility.

She is my first priority as she is a female of childbearing age.

Then I have to figure out getting my much younger female child out, which involves at least me.

No idea if husband will be coming with, but I sure as hell am getting my girls out of this place before we go full Gilead

OMG. Surely you still have your plans to flee the country that you wound up not using in 2020? JFC.

Laugh all you want, but what the Rs have done and are planning is very scary. It is full on authoritarianism and it is not ok.

You people really need to open your damn eyes.

January 6th was just a preview.

I will not force my children to live in that version of America.

If a republican posted something like this, they'd be deleted for spreading conspiracies. If we said "the summer race riots were just a preview" this would be unacceptable. Yet we are supposed to treat this as serious commentary.

I’d like to claim some dramatic ultimatum, like leaving the country to take up a new life somewhere saner. But who am I kidding? At my age I’m not going anywhere. I’ll probably just hunker down & read escapist books. Maybe get some firearms training.

Cheer up. Many of us still don’t believe Biden “won” in 2020, but look at him now!! Lucky us. Not.

Despite zero evidence, and legal loss after legal loss after loss.

You should seriously consider cult deprogramming.

Now we know where we need send busloads of Biden's illegal immigrants. People in Ohio shouldn't be sheltered from what they hired for, just like the medicine New Yorkers are now taking.
