So, tomorrow morning will be the 2020 election for the next president. Now, normally, as an emperor, I do not condone such silly things as “democracy” or “voting”. However, I do believe that this coming election could not only determine the future of the United States and possibly the world, but the future of our youth and the safety and rights of countless minority groups. So, I encourage everyone reading this to go out and vote tomorrow, and get the mad brute known as Donald Trump out of our government.

Some helpful tips:

- Get there as early as possible.
- If you can’t drive, have someone drive you. If you can, try and bring those who can’t with you.
- If they try and close the polls, stay in line anyway. They are legally required to let you vote.
- Do not make your political affiliations obvious by wearing gear/merch. You could get turned away by the workers if they decide they don’t like you, or you could open yourself to harassment.
- Bring snacks and water if you need to stand in long lines.
- Do not give in to voter intimidation. You have a right to vote for who you like. Call your state’s Election Protection hotline if you feel you are not being treated fairly.

Now, no matter who ends up winning, there will most likely be violence. So here are some tips to help protect yourself.

- Stock up on necessities for a few days.
- If possible, prepare a “bug-out bag” if you need to leave your home.
- If possible, obtain a weapon for self-defense.
- Lock all doors and windows. Do not leave home unless absolutely necessary.
- If you are attacked for any reason, fight back to protect yourself and your property.
- If you are protesting, cover yourself in nondescript clothing in order to not be recognized. However, remain peaceful at all times. Do not attack innocent bystanders or locations.

Remember: America has been through worse, and we’ll get through this too. No matter what happens, remain safe. Good luck.
