Guys, seriously, you don’t have much time left to be angry, speechless or stunned. Just quietly & pragmatically prepare yourselves for the coming uncertainty and instability. The lighter, more flexible and mobile that plan is the better. I’m not talking about end of the world fantasies involving bartering in gold or farming your front yard with freedom seeds, but you should have a plan to deal with whatever short term disruptive crisis Trump’s inauguration and early administration generates. Because he’s going to need an immediate, shocking event to distract from how he got elected and his team has absolutely no ethical qualms whatsoever about holding onto power now that they have it. He and his people know they have to feed their minority of fanatical supporters a narrative that they’re in an existential fight for the American way of life, even as he destroys it.

Remember, you can’t possibly make good decisions in any of the likely future disruptive scenarios if you’re unprepared, hungry, pinched or panicked.
