i'll be ready to observe everything, and get a documented first hand account of fascism (assuming it happens)

Otherwise, i'll probably just shit and piss myself hoping nothing implodes. while staying very far away from the internet.

Well, I'm definitely going to lose my job if he gets elected. So I guess I'll do one good thing with my life.

I'm a govt. contractor. I will retire the day before he's swarn in. I'm not sure what I'll do beyond that. A lot of Americans already retire to Costa Rica or Panama. I'll have to decide whether to run away or stay & resist.

In any sane world he’d have no chance. At least he’s shown enough incompetence and appointed so many corrupt greedy assistance, that he won’t succeed in doing as much damage as he wants, except to Ukraine. At this point it’s hard to believe he’s running for anything more than staying out of jail, making himself above the law

This time around the people surrounding him know what they need to do. It’s not like last time where they kinda tried to run the government with some pretense of obeying the rules. IMO should trump win this time they’re just going to go all-in and place themselves permanently in power.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Well, I wouldn't call the world we live in "sane".

the same thing i did when even biden, et al. voted against gay marriage; gays in the military; supported gay ban in the federal gov't and stayed silent on a slew of anti-immigrant & anti-abortion state laws.

Insurrection? Lol

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

Resist. Reorganize. Endure. Survive. Same as we've always done with presidents.

Idk what settlers are gonna do. Probably what they always do: whine, move to someone else's land if they're seriously inconvenienced, steal their shit, ruin that too, complain about how this keeps happening to them.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago

The same thing I’m doing now. The same thing I did during trumps first term and Bidens too.

Build stronger ties and more resiliency within my community, organize and agitate to improve it for everyone.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ill see what happens, presidents like to talk big before they're elected, but if everything really goes down the shitter, and project 2025 is successful I'll seriously consider leaving. Very fortunately I am British by decent. Not the greatest improvement but a significant one nonetheless.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

"I'll see ... but," "if," "I'll seriously consider."

You ain't gonna do shit.

Currently getting my passport in order, friend in Canada said I could stay with them.

"Getting your passport in order?" You mean having one?

And a job

And a doctor

And affording groceries

If you are American you are 100% better off staying where you are, it's almost unfathomable how much worse Canada is than 5 years ago

If I wasn't inheriting a bunch of money I would just kill myself lol. If you're renting right now and your parents aren't giving you money for a house you will be homeless and starving in the near future

By the end of the decade canada will have the most homeless per capita in the entire world and will not even be in the top 50 best countries to live, wild considering that back in like 2010 it was arguable the #1 best country to live

Canada is a literal shithole now so good luck, you need an insane amount of money to make it here

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago
