Given the election results

i have decided to sell off the contents of my entire estate (Studio, Test Equipment, Model Cars and Trains, etc) and stock up on camping and survival gear.

i have this sickening feeling me and my fiance will need it in the not too distant future!!!

Ryan and Pence have some evil plans for this country and i see a second great depression on the horizon as a result.

At this point the global economy is so intertwined, foreign interests that have invested in the USA will do their best not to see their investments drop to worthless. Ironically, the ones who will lose out most are the ones who propelled Trumppence into office in the first place, and guess who they'll blame when it happens? The "Libbruls," of course. Like some of the millions who perished under Stalin's boots, many of them will praise Trumppence at the very moment Republican policies extinguish the very life out of them.

I agree.

What really worries me is that there was a concern for your neighbor during our great depression. I don't think that will be the case, this time.
I think it will be more like Germany in the 30's when groups were targeted as being responsible for bad economic conditions and efforts were
focused on getting rid of those people.

Trump and his supporters have already made it quite clear they are white supremacists. Very scary.
