Your friends are cowards. What is coming down the pike is much worse than whatever might happen during the election.
Several friends have talked to me about their desire to be away from the United States in November when the presidential election voting is in full swing. They are expecting some big unpleasantries. This is highly possible.

I'm away from Massachusetts, in a swing state, ready to cast my ballot this Nov.
I planned this a year in advance because unlike those hypocrites in MA, I want my vote to count so I took action to make it so.
What you have in places like MA is a lot of the same old same old which is that Trump's a sleazebag despite that fact being known since childhood and then, no plans for the Dems other than the fact that the frontrunner isn't Trump.
And then everyone in MA knows that the ballot only goes one way but they still play this game that the Dems actually have them on the radar when in fact, they're basically forgotten and already pre-assigned a blue win. This is called being taken for granted, not respected.
On the other shoe, my protest vote for Trump, will count. I'm not voting for the Don because I think that he's the "chosen one" but I believe that he's the only one, who can get us out of the middle east, after a generation of an endless campaign and finally, address the issue of outsourcing which neither the Clintons nor the Bushes did in the decades prior.

Lol. Yeah, many of his stories contradict what normal people would think. But hey, flee, what do I care. If America goes into legit turmoil have fun overseas. The dominos will fall quickly and we'll end up in a power grab in WWIII. You're much safer in rural America than anywhere else in the world besides the poles. Maybe Canada or Russia weather wise. Sahara and poles would be safe, but would fucking suck and food would be a massive issue.

True. If shit really does hit the fan here in California, I’m packing my family into the SUV and driving to Kansas to stay with relatives, or at least stash them there. We can be farmers for a bit, or maybe I’ll fix farm equipment for a while. Plenty of decent people around there, not infected with the Leftist virus.

Yes, and by safer I mean for violence, having food security, people that work together for common good, etc. Kid from my sons class is a hog farmer. Could feed the town for decades without outside intervention. And we'd all work together. Can't do that shit in the city. Or Europe. Might not be fresh all year round, but fuck loads of produce and you can can/jar it.
Cheap living and if it hits the fan I have people I can trust.

I'm still waiting for the 'false flag solar flare' that is alleged to be planned close to the election to take down the grid to impose and depose.
"Oh, the grid just went out from a solar flare. Time for REAL martial law and a bit of coup d'etat for the Democratic candidate."
Even rumors that Biden will be Arkancided and somebody else will be enthroned above Kamala.

Ours is paid off. Just a place to live, still paying rent in a form of Property Taxes technically. $6500/y to be exact. Was never an investment, just a place to raise kids. If we move to another state, will 100% sell.
Would that money work out better in the stock market? Probably, but this is where we are, not everything is money.

Eh. I think it's a geezer. Foreign obviously from his stories. The non-paragraph break when clearly ending and starting a new paragraph makes me think he's legit and not a bot. Unless Patrick did it, he corrected a post where I bitched about it. It's like seriously, who starts a new paragraph and doesn't have the line break? You clearly knew it was time for a new paragraph, but didn't care about actually separating the paragraphs. It's what older people do.
Not only a bot but a coward bot, French AI.

Oh bullshit. It'll be 3/4 trust fund babies and 1/4 civil servants with a smattering of mostly middle class minorities/college students.
Sao Paolo might be safe because of Bolsanaro and the Brazilian Army, they'd probably bring in death squads to deal with their leftist hordes. But Cape Town? It'll be "Shoot to kill, the Boer".
The political protestors might attack a grocery store or pharmacy to get the necessities of life that they need.

What's funny, is how this guy puts what someone on a different thread called a "dear diary" post. Then he doesn't reply to anyone's remarks. It's like everyone took the bait and he's ROFL.
There is some bad news and good news here. With coronavirus, it would be a huge hassle to go to a foreign country at this moment. US citizens are banned from some countries and have onerous quarantine requirements in many other countries.
Now here comes the perverse good news. Elena and I are veterans of military coups and violent social unrest on a grand scale. We have reached this advanced age without ever being injured in one of these events.
Regardless of where one is in the world, these events follow the same pattern. All the big action happens in the large cities and towns. If you live in one of these locations and know that problems are coming, lock up your house or apartment and get out of town. In the US there are a great number of charming small towns where you can stay while the bad events happen.
While you are away, protestors and counter protestors will face law enforcement agencies and military groups like the California National Guard and ICE units. It will get very unpleasant. While angry people with political grievances "fight it out," criminal gangs will move in to take advantage of all the confusion.
The political protestors might attack a grocery store or pharmacy to get the necessities of life that they need. The criminal gangs will be hitting jewelry stores, high-end appliance stores, luxury goods stores, and sellers of computer gear.
If you are in some suburb far from the city or town center, you have a low probability of the violence spilling over to where you live. You would be most wise to stay indoors and maintain a low profile. Supply chains could collapse. You ATM cards and credit cards might not work for a while. I would have extra food and water in the house. I would keep a prudent amount of cash.
