Americans: Have You Thought About How You Will Cope if Trump Wins?
October 27, 2024 at 8:38 pm
I'm starting to think about it. I really don't want to go into total despair. I'm 65 and not in the greatest health. I have made a lot of health gains in the last year but that's only been possible because of a positive attitude. I have had to modify my diet, lose a lot of weight (with plenty more left to lose) and get alcohol use under control. I'm afraid if Trump wins, I'm going to lose all my motivation to keep going.

I know there are a lot of seniors here and despair could probably physically harm you too. If the worst happens, we really need to deal with it. I'm beginning to steel myself against it in advance. At least it won't be a shock like it was in 2016.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

If he wins, the main concern anyone should be watching for is how unchecked he will be allowed to be.

I doubt it will effect me much personally, other than a shitty mood and a wife with an even shittier mood. But I'll have empathy/pity for the people that will suffer, those on his enemy list, women, minorities, immigrants (legal and illegal), lower income that need support, elderly, incarcerated,.............. I'm sure I'm leaving out plenty.

I doubt as much will change as people fear. In 2016 he had the trifecta and basically piddled it away. I think most of his more controversial statements are geared toward winning election, with fewer policy implications.
