Trump will not leave Office at the end of his term at the end of his term....

67. That is plausible.

As a parent, I always told my kids that I am cursed with something I call Horror Vision. I imagine the absolute worst scenario, whether it be in the school yard, parking lot, bike riding, heck... everywhere, and do my best to prepare. It is exhausting and rarely comes true but it keeps you sharp. In this day and age of a totally distracted and ill-informed citizenry, there could be great uncertainty, inaction, and apathy if things go sideways. We have all seen the daily assault on realty, tradition and decency. I think that this is a deliberate ploy to desensitize and divide us so we're more controllable. I am not saying anything that we all don't know already.

It is not defeatist to anticipate how far your opponent is willing to go. That should be perfectly clear by now. God forbid any of this should come to pass. Messy would be an understatement. I try not to completely distance myself from somewhat decent republicans I have in my circle. I do not hide my liberal mindset and don't shy away from vigorous debate if they're foolish enough to start one. They sometimes concede to my way of thinking. I imagine they leave thinking Oh shit. Wait a minute, I have a friend that is a Democrat?!

Naysayers always retort "OK, chicken-little, what's YOUR plan?" As if one man is going to single handedly change everything.... My plan is to be eyes fucking wide open alert. Keep my head down but keep talking to people. Remind them of what we are/were as a country. Strongly encourage people to vote. Save money but donate wisely. Arm & train myself. Prepare for the unthinkable. I can only hope that those decent people are not willing to throw everything away just for a corrupt want to be dictator. We'll see what he has to say on Thursday. It will be vile. It will be ignorant. That critical crossroad that we expected for November seems to be coming early.
