I like the idea of creating a physical community.

As for location, I'm not sure yet. I don't know what you think about some rural location in the middle of America itself. Or we could even move to a location that already has a low or declining population and take it over in a way.

If Trump wins then this makes sense. This is already being done, see "American Redoubt". If Trump wins, I would move to North Idaho. But if Biden wins, America will become a totalitarian nightmare and dissidents will be rounded up throughout the country.

And it's also depressing because a lot of people do not deserve this. Why did God forsake us all? :-(

The majority of Americans have forsaken religion, so they deserve to suffer, so God is doing the right thing. For those with the sense to study and understand scripture, there is always a sound way forward. Jeremiah had it considerably worse than we do, so I wouldn't complain too much.

Why aren't the people who understand spared from going to gulags? Why do they have to suffer just because the majority want it?

I'm not very religious, by the way. I have trouble with faith.

That is absolutely horrible. What do I have to do to move out or deal giving my current living situation?

A lot of people are calling Biden the winner now.

Have patience. I think we have about a year to leave. And there is still a small chance that Trump might win. If Trump loses, then I will take decisive action and get this project moving.

Would I eventually have to get a job before I do this or can I stand where I'm at right now?

And my own mother told me that "I don't think anything bad is going to happen"... yes because she sees herself as an eternal optimist. She probably thinks I'm very crazy. That's another issue right now.

How are we also going to know if/when Trump has won?

I think it will be obvious and it should be clear within a few weeks. So let's just wait for this before worrying about anything else.
