Democratic Underground will be one of the very first websites to be shut down. Just like Election Night 2016.
Remember how helpless that felt? It will be worse next time. None of us will be able to share vital information, share updates on where violence is happening, and where it is expected next. No way to know if there have been breakthroughs or victories for Progressives. Nowhere to offer each other support when we will need it the most.
THAT is going to be scary.
We are going to face armed thugs all alone, not knowing if it's just our town, or it's happening everywhere...and do you think the mainstream media will be allowed to broadcast the truth???
I wish there was some way to prepare a tRump Coup Survival Kit, like we do for earthquakes here in California.
I have no idea how to actually be prepared for it.

(3,488 posts)Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
