What if the next president is Republican?

[mudesi]

I'm not saying it will happen. In fact, the probability is next to nothing, given the sentiment towards Republicans across the country.

But let's say, out of some freak event (election rigging, maybe a terrorist attack), the Republican takes the White House.

What do we do then? Can the country take 4 more years of Republican rule? I think America is precariously close to tipping over after the last disastrous 8 years. (Assuming it hasn't already tipped over).

Frankly, I don't know if I'd be capable of coping with it.

3. Hit the ground because the circular firing squad will be taking no prisoners here at DU

[angrycarpenter]

It would mean that we have lost

and that there is no hope to be a democracy again. I will move out into the woods turn off the cable and wait for the stormtroopers to come get me.

5. republicans

Do you really think they want the WH? They've already made their money, and are getting ready to leave.

6. Economically we might be SOL anyway

That's just a statement on the precarious nature of the US economy, not directed at any of the people running.

On edit- I hit submit too soon. Whether a dem or repub is elected, what we need to do is what the conservatives did 40 years ago- organize locally and take back city councils, school boards and the like. Regardless of what happens nationally.

7. If Mittens, Huck, McCain, or Hillary move into the White House.....

I'll be heading this direction.......

8. meh

My life won't change much.
America deserves another 8 years of neo-con rule. Perhaps then the sheeple will rise up and demand a fair deal (like a real new deal).
