I'm gonna make sure my loved ones are armed and have ammo.
To vote in it.
If Trump gets elected again somehow then... I don't know what we can do to fix the country. I can't put into words my feelings about that situation, but I worry it will cause me to no longer believe our country can be saved.
Vote for whatever communist third party is available as far as the federal level goes.

I think it was Lewis Black who said, "I don't know if you've noticed, but the two party system in this country is a bowl of shit looking at itself in the mirror."
I vote for who earns my vote. I refuse the forced choice of two terrible options.

A lot of trolling about voting green party, not voting, not voting Biden. Any of these positions is pro Trump, and that's the simple truth.
So admit that at least, you WANT a dictatorship.

Not voting and enjoying a beer
Not in a state where my vote counts so it doesn't matter much. My political plans are trying to avoid getting thrown in jail per the popular bipartisan SB 686 for being too outspoken about opposing the genocide of Palestinians.
Since the 2010 Citizens United decision when the supreme court legalized bribery, the best I've been able to hope for is a managed and slow as possible decline into a feudal-like state with a heritable and defined noble and peasant class. Hopefully nuclear war will prevent the worst possible consequences of climate change so I can have a little hope while I'm being vaporized.
Being from an "every vote counts" country with compulsory voting, this seems like such an alien response to me.

I've been dreading it since 2020. I might turn my phone off the entire year.
I wish I could let everyone who's going to text me know that I've already made a decision and they don't need to waste their time or mine.
I'm not voting for Genocide Joe unless the US forces Israel to end its genocide of Palestinians.

Writing in Xi Jinping (no, not that one, a different one)
The 2020 election got me off of facebook and most other social media. Not quite sure how Iβll approach Lemmy going into 2024, seems ok for now and not the dumpster fire that facebook was during 2016 and 2020. If it gets too bad I might block national news & political communities and see if that helps. I already know that Trump/GOP represents fascism in America, so I donβt really need more news to confirm that point or help me make up my mind going into the election.
Apparently Americans forgot about the years 2016-2020. Trump is polling favorably and if an election was held today, he'd probably win.
