Anybody else going CRAZY right now?

I'm that person who always has a Plan B, but so far I have been mostly unable to even think about what will happen and what I should do if Trump wins. I haven't got any further than realizing that I should accelerate my mostly inadequate efforts to start getting rid of some of the vast amount of extra Stuff in my life that makes it impossible to ever go anyplace else. Because even if there were somewhere to flee to, I really can't do that without setting the house on fire or something. 

Thank goodness when I made up my pandemic playlist I also put together a large playlist of soothing songs call "All Shall Be Well Again." I just remembered that it was there, and started it up. Helps a little. Although "Don't Worry, Be Happy," is quite a stretch at the moment.

This.

I'm not sure I always have a Plan B; I'm more likely to spend my time worrying about not having one, and sometimes I'm not even sure about Plan A. But yes. This.

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.
