I am going to bed soon myself. I will resign myself to Trump winning, hopefully it wont be as bad as we think, hopefully his voters are the ones that suffer the most, and most hopefully she actually holds the blue wall and we wake up relieved.
Yeah my wife has ordered me to disengage. I am going to bed accepting that there is nothing I can do about it, though that doesn't help accepting it itself

but...
 
My genuine concern, beyond the mere collapse of my retirement fund (which I fully expect), is we'll be on the brink of a Russo-European war within a couple of years. A war I fully expect will involve tactical nukes, at a minimum.
My genuine concern is that it’s basically lights out for humanity as far as climate change is concerned. This is the critical window and we’re gonna miss it.
 


Surprising given vaunted GOP registration lead in votes cast in early voting …

If you genuinely expect the market to collapse, just move to cash. There is no tax implication in a retirement account.
 
Well, we've kept hearing from Trumpers throughout the campaign - and on this very board - that things really "won't get that bad" if Trump is elected. I guess we're about to find out. And for the record, if he does win I think his second term is going to be a nightmare for everyone, and in the end even for most Trump voters, although they'll be loathe to admit it. We may have well reached the "fuck around and find out" stage of things.
Nah, that was the last four years.

In the grand scheme, yeah, I agree. However, I think with complete idiots like ttump, Mike flynn, RFK jr, etc. making decisions that antagonize Europe and bolster Russia, Putin will accelerate his narcissistic and psychopathic dream of reconstituting the USSR. Putin doesn't look like a well man - he'll be on an expedited imperial schedule.

I think the climate crisis is baked, but the overwhelming impacts will still take a number of years. I think Putin goes Thanos in a far shorter timeframe.
