I had a conversation with a friend the other day about how to prepare for the possibility of a (greater) crisis post-election: stock up on necessities? Cash? Be ready for mass protests? How would we have wanted to be prepared if it were France in the summer of 1939?

I actually put myself through a thought exercise that I told a conservative Republican friend who doesn't think she could vote for Biden because her taxes would increase. I told her I would vote for Hitler before I would vote for DT. She was shocked.
Remind your friend that historically the stock market does much better under Democratic than Republican presidents. If she is not well off enough for that to more than offset tax increases, then she wouldn't have them.
The Maginot line was totally useless! The German army just went round it by going through Belgium. That is what happens when you rely on good intentions, kind thoughts and pious trust in our dear leaders.
Be carefull, In times of chaos, prudence and forethought are obviously essential ....but mass buying of "essential stores" tends to create the very shortage you're afraid of ....when everybody tries to do it at the same time.
I have already started, but I was thinking of a spike in covid as fall/winter and flu season arrives. HadnтАЩt yet been able to bring myself to think about the lived reality of a post-election crisis. Guess itтАЩs time to face it.

Nice point. I'll give it a try. Just don't understand why character doesn't matter.
Same emergency supplies as always (especially remember the pets); reimagine a better Maginot Line...

Indeed, that's why it can only be re-imagined!
Prolly best to stock up on toilet paper NOW, just in case we have to go through THAT again.

Please don't. That just creates contention.
