That's it in the abstract. But to be more concrete, if Trump wins, I'll have to talk with various people about specific consequences of whatever his administration does. Eg since Renee's a nurse and I have cancer, I have to discuss healthcare and insurance and unions in specific. With Obama and Clinton, I have little trouble engaging seriously. With Trump, I'll have to pretend to treat it seriously and discuss without calling him an idiot. I'm used to this type of code switch when I go home and talk to the right wingers in my family. But if Trump wins I expect I'll have to do it up here too.
I _could_ just be a jerk for the next 4-8 years and refuse to try. But that causes me more stress than simply switching and engage.
