I’ve already told my family, if Trump wins, I will come back right after the elections to get the rest of my personal stuff and then my sister and brother in law need to prepare to leave the country. They are too politically astute and active to stay. The rest of my family should be okay if they keep their heads down.

Chile or Argentine are probably the best examples to look into.
Watch Nostalgia for the Light to see what happens (brilliant film on numerous levels).
