If Trump is elected, get ready for a new way of life

It seems as though the Trumpers, MAGA people, right-wingers and associates have their future and ours outlined. The news continues at an alarming rate to forecast the results of Trump as president of the United States. The master plan would reveal an aristocracy/dictatorship type government under which major changes would occur.
The real question, “and then what will you do?” will face us. There will be an afterlife when abnormal will be the normal. Conditions such as retribution, riots, and severance of rights will abound. It won’t be the same. You and your family, friends, and others, will be affected by an entirely new way of life. Spend time researching lives in countries like Russia, China, North Korea, Germany (World War II) Venezuela, and others. This can’t be taken lightly.
And then what will you do? This does not need to happen nor will it happen if you vote to live as prescribed by our forefathers and enshrined by those who have given their lives for us. Winston Churchill said it best, “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all others which have been tried.”
