I would breathe easy. Harris is gonna walk it, and the Trump supporters will largely lick their wounds and slink off. The whole thing is overblown in the press and by influencers who play it up for the extra engagement. There might be one or two isolated protests and bouts of violence, but they will be isolated. You can rest easy knowing it will be a non event and pass pretty much without incident.

Even in the ultra unlikely event that it goes the other way, which it won't, the same will happen. There will be no massive riots or revolutions, there will be no handmaids tale shit, elections will not be abolished. The exact same shitty states will continue exactly as shitty as they would be under Harris, the non shitty ones will make the same token gestures, and we'll get to do the same dance all over again with the same theatrical lines spouted by some new faces in four years time. It is not going to be the end of history, and it is not going to be what the weird doomers claim. But it doesn't matter, because Trump/Vance has a less than zero chance of winning anyway.

Don't listen to this anon. Complacency is in part what got us into this mess in the first place, and complacency will not get us out of it.

Just because there are people who will fight against it doesn't mean the threat doesn't exist.

Obviously, don't give into despair, but there are deeper problems right now than whether or not a presidency will be won by the non-fascist party (the conservative majority Supreme Court is still a problem, for instance). The presence of a struggle (as opposed to an irreversible defeat) doesn't automatically mean we can "breathe easy."

It isn't complacency it is calmness and confidence. It is about not getting all wound up by escalating hysteria (I do hate that word, but the sense of self imposed panic exacerbated by listening to other people in a self imposed panic and competing to have the worst "worst case" scenario is hard to put into any other word). It is going to be okay. No matter who wins, not much will happen and not much will change. Just the different rhetoric, and rhetoric is all it is going to be. The shit places will continue to be shit, the shittifying places will continue to shittify as per their own super local politics, and the places where life is improving will continue to improve, and both parties will take responsibility for the successes and blame their other for the failures.

Breathe out, it is going to be much the same. Don't get caught up in the escalating rhetoric, don't get caught up in the footballiszation of politics, and don't place so much emphasis on whether "our team" or "their team" wins. They will play the same PoliticsBowl again in four years whoever wins.
