Be Prepared

BE Prepared - That's the Boy Scout Motto.....

Maybe I'm late to the game with this thinking, but better late than never and unprepared... WE know and YOU  all know what Trump is about - Revenge - Misogyny - Bigotry, Racism, White Supremacist supporter, who thinks that the Government & Presidency  exists for him to exploit for personal Revenge and Financial gain...  Their latest rally started with a so called Comedian that called Puerto Rico a "Floating pile of Garbage".  Remember  that Puerto Ricans that reside on Mainland US (that's over 2/3's of them.)  can vote in Presidential elections. 

- What would a 2nd term as POTUS would look like. He is anti Women and Anti Women's rights , anti LGBTQ , does not believe climate change is real, thinks other countries are not contributing enough to the NATO cause, Wants to prosecute his  enemies, lock up Journalists etc by using   the National Guard and the US Military to take action against American Citizens,   Take revenge on anyone and everyone that opposed him, MASS Deportation of   Millions  of immigrants,  (he talked about 11- 15  million people - yea what could possibly go wrong with that ), reinstate the Trump Travel ban ,,  and end automatic Citizenship for children of immigrants that are born on US soil.  be a Dictator on DAY ONE,  Impose Tariffs of 10 , 20 , 30%  or more on all imported goods    ,,,, an economy that will teter on collapse under that program.  Stop taxing TIPs (with no plan to make up for that loss of income  , Hand his Billionaire friends another tax cut ,  Cut Medicare and Social security,   Pass new tax laws that if the past is an indicator favored only the already morbidly rich and  thios will be made up by the middle class tax increases  , Cuts to school funding for those schools that do not fall in line to his thinking  and the elimination of the Department of Education - .    Come on - we know  and MAGA knows ALL these things and more..... Plus he will - this time - fill he Cabinet with People that will bend the Knee - kiss the ring  and swear allegiance to HIM and him only (screw the Constitution) - the guardrails that held onto our Republic in his 1st term will be gone. 

Should the people that will be directy & permanently impacted by a Trump Presidency start to prepare ?? NOW.  

- Should NATO get ready when he pulls the US out of NATO ....  How will that look ??  What are the consequences of that? Will Putin immediately turn some of his Military  resources that are currently deployed in Ukraine towards the invasion of Poland ?? Belarus , Latvia, Estonia ?? Will  China, Iran and North Korea join in that effort  ?? 

How should the LGBTQ  Community Prepare for a full on onslaught against their rights ?? I'm not even sure what they could/should do ....

Are the Commanders in the National Guard and Military thinking of their response to Orders from the POTUS to attack, Arrest  and round up US citizens ??  Direction to jail Journalists  and his political Opponents that disagree with Trump ??

Should immigrants get ready to be rounded up  and sent to encampments across the country. ? Families be ready to flee underground if needed to survive?  Industries that lean heavily on migrant labor - Housing Construction, Agriculture, etc  get ready to lose their workforces ....  how can or will they respond to that ??  watching crops rot in the fields with no one to harvest them..   

Should women form an underground railroad of sorts to avail themselves of health care they need  - develop a network inside and outside the Traditional Doctor/ Hospital settings, and educate  all females on how to best  respond to the health industries questions about their personal health . 

Should Journalists prepare for prosecution and line up legal help to combat arrest... make sure they are - as most are - on social media to publicize what is happening to them.  

What happens when we are pulled from the Paris Accord on Climate change ?  Are the other 170 countries  prepared for the impacts of the US leaving ??  WE are not achieving the Targets set force by the accord for Emissions, Global warming, etc now - what happens when the US leaves that accord....

How will Importers react to  Tariffs of 10% 20 % and More on goods they import  ??? Do they initially absorb the added cost (doubtful)   ?? - because no matter what DUMB ASS thinks - other countries DO NOT pay tariffs - The US has no way to tax another country ,,,,  - the importer does pay that added cost, and  will sooner or later it's going to get added to the Price of the Item - will this trigger an immediate inflation   ???    Sixteen Nobel Prize-winning economists signed a letter in June expressing fear that Trump’s proposals would “reignite’’ inflation,  possibly towards double digits.... 

How will the Legal community respond -  when they know that the Justice system is filled with MAGA supporting judges and Paid off Supreme Court appointees -  That appeals will get to an Appellate court that Trump appointed and a Supreme Court that has sided with his insanity at near every turn   ?  And the Court made Bribery justified IF it comes after the Rulings - so those Judges get paid off - after they rule in Trumps favor..... 

Should we  and the World start our preparations  NOW ????  just in case,..................
