1. Cry
Either way this election goes it calls for some tears, and maybe some Ben & Jerry’s if it goes that badly (it most likely will go that badly, prepare your ice cream).
2. Move to Canada
All jokes on this one aside, Justin Trudeau is looking better and better every day! I think I’ll pack my bags and parka and just move to Canada before it’s too late.
3. Spend a year (or 4) abroad
No better time to explore what else the world has to over than right now!!! As we enter the most likely worst four years in America’s recent history, why not spend it in France or Australia? A little culture never hurt nobody.
4. Drop off the grid
Never a bad time to become more like Ron Swanson and drop off the grid entirely. Following the outcomes of this election, this may be one of the best ideas on the list. Sure, an isolated forest may be filled with serial killers but hey, it’d probably be better than this right?
5. Buy a house boat
Who doesn’t want to live on a houseboat and sail the world? I’m sure a lot of people but even they would have to admit that in light of the situation, this is a pretty good looking option.
6. Start your campaign for president
Let’s face it: if these two are eligible to run for president, that means any of us could do it! Why delay? Start your campaign today to give America a better future. No background in politics or human decency required!
7. Watch The Purge
And take notes, because this is most likely what our country is going to come to. We should all be prepared for it at least.
8. Contemplate how it got this bad
Sit down with a warm cup of tea and just wonder, “HOW did this happen?” All memes aside, this election should have been an outrage! Yet, we let both these candidates get this close to the presidency. Snuggle up with the thought of America being ripped to shreds by either of these candidates. Heartwarming.
9. Gather your friends and plan a storming of the White House, French Revolution style!
Nothing says “welcome to power” quite like an angry mob storming your home demanding change. Marie Antoinette knew this one all too well. Also, I’ve heard Washington D.C. is just lovely in January.
