Sage advice regardless of who wins the election. :)

Honestly, I found myself getting dejected, angry, worried, stressed, and frustrated over this election, but I’ve had something of an epiphany:

My first line of defense is my personal philosophy - I require nothing from the government, therefore by removing myself from the government’s sphere of influence (relocating rural) the outcome of national elections largely matters little in my day to day.

My second line of defense is my faith - My stay here is temporary, and what little time I have is poorly used hating my ideological opponent. I can only influence those directly around me, and I will continue to do so - By example.

Someday, regardless of who is in office, the house of cards constructed of fiat currency and a dependent class will collapse. If I’m still around, I’ll be ready. If I’m not, it won’t matter.

I have a close friend who thinks like I do. He bought some acreage in Northern Ontario (North of the lakes) two weeks ago and has been very sanguine about the election ever since.

In fact, he doesn't seem to care about politics at all any more.

Correct. The collapse of the USD is baked in the cake and there is no voting our way out of it, Trump or Clinton.

Regarding this election, I just pray that God's will be done. He's the only one that I put my trust and faith in.
