Since I have a survivalist streak, I have thought about this also. And as far as I can figure, besides stocking non-perishables in the house and having a battery-powered radio, there's not much to do. I already did that for the pandemic. We're not very good survivalists, but if the water, power, natural gas, phone and internet were all cut off, and the grocery stores all closed, we would be fine here for a month at least.

If Trump wins (or steals the election), what good would fleeing do? Flee to where? If I were in a red state, I might consider fleeing to a blue state, maybe, but I'm already in a blue state. (And even that doesn't make much sense.)

I have considered the possibility that a Trump win, or a protracted dispute about who won, might cause other world powers to launch an attack on us. This also doesn't make a lot of sense. Why attack when we are busy destroying ourselves? Why physically attack if they can just let our economy continue to slide, buy up our companies, and profit? Heck, a physical attack with troops on the ground would be more dangerous for them than for us; they'll all get COVID.

I gotta admit, I would feel more comfortable if I had a go-bag packed, but I would also feel foolish with a go-bag packed. Where am I going to, and under what scenario? Hard to come up with a plausible case.
