Tsing,
I FULLY understand where you're coming from. This election proved the fact that obummer could in fact change America. He's helped obliterate our original values, the constitution means nothing to him, and we teter on collapse both financially, and morally.
I haven't spoken to my Sister since she voted for obummer. She also voted for him as he's a "likeable" guy. Hitler had people who loved and adored him as well... Did he want change? Oh he sure did!
I found out even more family members in Richmond, VA voted for obummer, and I have absolutely ZERO intention of attending the family reunion this year, and I really don't want to converse with Family members who are willing to harm my Son, and his children by irresponsibly voting for someone who is going to crash the America us WOPs immigrated to, and grew to love.
I was flipping out angry election night, but am calmer now, and and like you, will be preparing for other things. The sad part is I didn't know my Family could do something like this, and I just don't want to be around them.
There aren't any other Countries I wish to live in, so all I can do now is pray for peace, but be prepared for problems as America speeds down the road to perdition...
