I've always been a shy sort myself, and all this stuff is telling me boils down to "hole up, hunker down, keep your nose clean, and wait for it blow over. Oh, and get across the Canadian border ASAP."

Wouldn't disagree, though I chose a bit further than Canada - whom I suspect this nonsense will also come to in relatively short order.
The one thing that confuses me about society at large is that I think if you ask people about the trajectory of the country most people can see the directionality/momentum of where things are headed. But they kind of just blank on what the destination is. It's kind of a fun thing about reading very old newspapers around the time of various historical events. They rarely if ever come from nothing. It's all just a gradual stairstepping towards the final show. So recurrent is this that on occasion get this sort of deja vu type feeling when reading of modern events. It just feels I'm just reading more of those old headlines leading up to a historic event you already know.
I'm poor, traumatized, and all alone in the world save for my SO. We have very very limited options. I plan if at all possible to end up in Halifax or thereabouts within 5 years or fewer and basically just disappear off the face of the earth waiting for all this shit to blow over. I know I won't live to see a positive resolution, and I know I'm about to witness geopolitical seismic shockwaves the likes of which have not been seen since world war II. I just don't want to be in the epicenter when the shaking starts.
