I think we all need to prepare for this possibility. I don't like to say it, but we are likely looking at real exile - especially as Christians.

And remember we would not be the first Christians to suffer persecution. So many martyrs over the centuries and they are under the altar crying out, "how long, O Lord, how long?"

This quote from a Flannery O'Connor short story comes to mind:
"She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick."
