So if the Republicans sweep the 2012 elections, what planet do we move to?
A White House, Congress and Supreme Court under the total control of today’s Republican Party would be the greatest “horror movie” of all time. It would be like being awake during your own autopsy.

Imagine if they get to own it all in next year’s election. (They don’t require sufficient votes. Let’s not forget how good they are at stealing elections.)

Were this to happen what are your plans? Some who could afford to would opt to leave this country. Others might opt to fight, although I think it would be a lost battle before it started. And others might just try to huddle down and survive the storm.

This post is a “what if.” But if it were to come about, the America we knew would be totally gone and the world would be a far more dangerous place.

It’s imperative that we do everything possible to see that this scenario doesn’t happen. But if it does, do you have any plans for survival?

1. What other country (that one would want to live in) is easy to go to?
Last I checked, you needed either $750,000 in escrow or like two graduate degrees for Canada to let you in.

2. I say we are still the 99%.
We should get together and send their asses elsewhere...I hear Mercury is pretty damn hot. Maybe they would like that. They could deny global warming there just as easily as they do here. Bonus!

4. Good question! I used to take comfort in knowing that I COULD
pull up stakes and move to Canada or UK or Australia or some such, but it appears they are all in
on the scam. I've never felt more trapped in my life!

6. Yep. It's seems as if we are entering a new Dark Age
And assuming they don't destroy the entire planet, another Renaissance is sure to follow. But I doubt that any of us will be around to see it.

7. Don't forget total domination of state legislatures, school districts and lower court
Judgeships!

That's why it pisses me off when people declare that they'll "punish Democrats" by not voting!

It idiotic and downright destructive to this country.
