I talked in an adjacent comment about specifically what I expect might happen on the part of people in various positions of authority if Trump gets the nomination.

As to what you or I, individually, can do if he gets elected? That depends on who you are and what your position in society is. If you're just a regular citizen, you can apply pressure to your representatives in Congress, contribute to legal funds to combat Trump's abuses of power, attend protests, participate in get-out-the-vote campaigns for the midterms, etc. If you're someone in the aforementioned positions of authority, you'll have a duty to defend the law and the Constitution to the fullest extent possible.

The point is that we can't all afford to curl up into a ball and start talking about how we're going to move to Canada or just accept that America is fucked. Because that seems to be where a lot of people are leaning right now. The last time people mostly assumed this wasn't going to happen and we were unprepared. This time there will be resistance and pushback from the Federal workforce, because we know the shit Trump tried to pull last time.
