Opinion: Don't focus on bracing for a Trump win
(CNN) The New York Times published an in-depth article Sunday describing how a broad network of Democratic officials, progressive activists and watchdog groups, among others, are “taking extraordinary steps to prepare for a potential second Trump presidency.”
Examples included Washington Gov. Jay Inslee’s efforts to make his state a haven where women would be free to seek abortions without fear of prosecution. The article also cited an organization that is preemptively hiring a new auditor in case Trump were to direct the Internal Revenue Service to target the group during a second term.
On one hand, we should applaud these officials and organizations for grasping that Donald Trump back in the White House poses a unique threat to our democratic freedoms. But the only sure way to prevent Trump from subverting the government for a campaign of retribution in which Trump loyalists will be in key positions in the federal government — and ushering in a far-right-wing agenda — is to defeat him this November. We must make our single focus keeping the barbarians outside the gate, not figuring out how to lessen the damage once they are on the inside.

I will NEVER "brace for a Chump win" because it's NEVER going to happen.
