If Trump Wins

[superrific]

You work for the government?

I'm guessing DOJ

I work for an organization that Trump has a rather poor relationship with. I anticipate if Trump wins he will ensure that my employer is gutted and rebuilt with loyalists to be weaponized by him.

Would that be the military?

Just living life. We got through 4 years last time and will again. It will be less than ideal.

He ain't winning. Won't be close in the end. But if he did, nothing would change for me, keep on keeping on and minding my own business. Go to work, go home, do the things I have always done.

I've heard a few people claim they'll move out of the US... because of 4 years of a president they don't like?

Weird.

The important takeaway, IMO, is maybe we stop nominating terrible candidates.... yes, I include Harris in that list. She's not nearly as bad as Trump or Biden but if she's the best we can do, even on short notice, we're in trouble.

Can we get a Bojangles reaction/emoji?

I apologize but I am not familiar with what Bojangles is aside from a fast food chain I think?

If you could post a picture or clarify what you mean, that would help.

Reality is reality. Whether it's Harris or Trump, it's very unlikely that anything significant is going to change. All of the important changes come through Congress.

Those first four were before SCOTUS gave Trump a free pass to do as he pleases. It could he far worse this time.

Tortola? Jost? Virgin Gorda? Anegada? Peter and Norman are likely out-of-reach.

I’d happily join you and be the Tar Heel fan who trades barbs with you?

Yes, Bojangles is a popular NC-based fast food chain. One of their slogans is “It’s Bo Time!” There was a poster on IC who used that as their handle. They notoriously would always chime in when people were ragging on conservatives saying actually both sides are terrible or words to that effect. So doing the both sides argument became known as Bo-siding. It got to the point when anyone would Boside people would post a gif of the Bojangles “It’s Bo Time” slogan.

Please explain the negative reaction to “bosiding”. Seems to me like the “bosiders” are the only ones taking a broad objective assessment, and then they get the elementary school playground peer pressure and mocking applied.

Bosiding normalizes Trump by implying the other option isnt any better.

Anything that normalizes Donald Trump is disingenuous at best, or downright ignorant at worst.

This is the answer for anyone who has the proper perspective, can handle their emotions, and isn’t overly dramatic.

there is absolutely nothing "weird" about people being frightened of a political movement that wants to oppress them and deny their civil liberties and even their humanity.
