If Trump wins tonight, I’m going to do what I did in late 2016 — just tune out. I’m not going to watch or listen to any media for a few months. I probably will focus all my attention on the novel(s) I have to work on.
Because I like to make my abstract fears concrete, I have a number of dark scenarios rolling around in my head, even if Trump loses. I fear that the next few months could be quite turbulent, no matter who wins.
But if Trump wins, oh boy. We really have a problem on our hands. Because Trump is so dumb and lazy, he could go “full tyrant” on us and the next thing you know, the country buckles and I become a domestic political refugee.
Hopefully, that won’t happen. Hopefully.
But if Trump wins, things are going to get pretty nuts, no matter what. For some reason, I have a hunch that if Trump wins, my life is going to change in a big way. I have no idea what that means, but it’s just a hunch.
I live in a really Red part of my state and so, lulz….maybe I’ll be forced out of my home as the country buckles into absolute Blue and absolute Red.
