Was thinking about getting married next year and returning home in 2018. Given how poorly the economy is likely to be doing, and the attitude towards immigrants. My plans are now in serious doubt.  :(

I recommend coming home.  The Tweet World War with North Korea could result in only a few hundred thousand American casualties, but millions of South Koreans and Japanese.

Pursue my escapist hobbies with approximately the same vigor as before, while simultaneously using the impending chaos and hysteria as an opportunity to further cultivate my inner calm and detachment.   :)

Unless we hit a major recession, nothing in my immediate life should change.  A lot of my friends are pretty down at the moment, though.  :(
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

What is going to be your personal response to his 'policies'?

Lose my healthcare.

I can longer financially support my parents as my dependents if they lose subsidized Obamacare.

I guess I have a lot of ammo to burn off at the range, since I can't profiteer from it as I expected to.

I'll be buying as need to hoard for the impending Russian occupation of Alaska.

I know it is the wrong reaction, and hopefully it'll burn away in the coming weeks/months, but at the moment it has just enforced my negative views of fly over country. I hope they enjoy their continued suffering once the feelings of elation come to their inevitable conclusion with Trump. -_-

:yes:

This has been my response so far to the populist right winning in Poland last year.

Looking forward to the comedy of errors, actually. I need some more popcorn.

My actual plan is to pay less attention to the news and carry on with my life. Thankfully, myself and my immediate family have enough money that unless something crazy goes down, there will be little personal impact.

This is a sound policy and it'll starve Trump of the oxygen of publicity that his ego will still demand of the world, I say fuck him, hope he dies of boredom in the oval office.
