But... you can still do something about the outcome, wurm.
I'm not saying you need to worry about it because you need to handle how you address the upcoming days of chaos in your own way.
But you could still:
(1) Reach out to anyone you know in swing states, and encourage them one last time, to vote. And preferably, to vote for sanity and continuity, not utter chaos that could lead to so much loss and destruction. (I mean, really, no vaccines, no independent Federal Reserve, plans to deliberately disrupt the economy as some "temporary pain" is necessary to reduce the US debt? and such utter lack. of. professionalism. Especially when it comes to communications.
(2) Actually help get out the vote on Tuesday. Help people get to the polls to cast their vote, even if you're in a "safe" state where your vote doesn't really matter because of the (slavery protecting idiocy of) the Electoral College.
(3) Continue to participate and protest and protect our democracy after the election regardless of the outcome and the court decisions.
I'm not saying this specifically to target you for action, but so that we all remember there's (always) more to do. To paraphrase Jefferson, we keep this thing called Democracy in our nation by constantly putting in effort and improving and shaping it.
OK, now I'm going to go cast my ballot; and I intend to do at least 2 of the 3 things above afterwards, or I may forever regret it pending the final outcome.
They say that Uruguay is nice, btw, but I don't know that you'll be able to ride out a second term and the ensuing disasters anywhere in the world.
