It’s really hard to do that. It takes privilege. I’ve always considered myself as somewhat privileged (white, lower middle class, etc.) but even I’m not privileged enough to be accepted into another country. (Partially disabled now, not wealthy, no desirable skills, and neurodivergent.)
I suppose I could throw a Hail Mary and try to get into a university in Canada or something??? But why would they even take me?
I’m scared, so scared.

Well, hopefully enough people will vote blue but it's not guaranteed so that is scary. But yeah I don't have the option of moving out of this country either.

I'm worried Trump will use the military as police officers as part of his "law and order" policy. Of course L&O is code for harassing and killing black and brown people, and violently stifling dissent. Law enforcement is already government-sanctioned terrorism as it is. Peaceful protests would no longer be an option, and violent revolution would have to be considered.
I think the queen mother of all Antifa rallies should be held in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Why Cheyenne? It's the capital of the most conservative state in the country. There would be relatively few local supporters, so Antifa, BLM, et al need to come from other states, armed to the teeth.

Am afraid alot of people ,within a certain level Intelligence might be scared too..!
.On the other hand Hopefully the "powers that be "do not wish to sour the mix. And avoid harsh circumstances . So they can maintain a useable workforce . To keep the Gross domestic Product indicators for this country looking good.
But the last few elections ...just does not look so beneficial,to the people of the USA. (corporation.).

That maybe easier said than done as the body Politic of the USA .Controls people whom get to run for office here.
And the surveillence State ,has become very invasive . then you have to contend with , how deep the underbelly of
Military Industrial Corporate complex can go? am pretty sure google has deals with the Government here.
To slide in predictive AI , of whom has looked into suspicious information. And with all the extra computing power
of AI , it will have a healthy degree of confidence . As to whom to watch.
Never has there been so much avsilability of info in the modern world , i feel. 
As always , it will prolly be a concept of Good
versus Evil ....And how things are used,But consider the things our USA Governments has done in the Past. And how they might use info. ( Personal Opinion) : am thinking we are Gonners.
