I imagine a number of famous people will talk about how they’re moving to Canada, and don’t.
I already know where I’ll try to emigrate. I chose a new preferred country after seeing how shitty large swaths of my fellow Americans behaved in 2020. Absolute shitheads.
Build a wall around Detroit and put up a sign “No Trumps allowed”
Attack on Detroit
Its a time honored american tradition to shoot someone wearing red clothing thats trying to tell everyone what to do
Not Santa!
If we make plans, and post them on the internet, people start throwing around words like “premeditated” and it just makes things harder.
I love this. “We have a plan but we can’t tell you.”. Peak uselessness.
These responses should be entertaining. /teasip
some of us are not allowed to vote so doing the same thing as the last election
hope people one day quit voting for one of the demopublicans and choose some third party
as an american dissident unable to vote it feels like trapped in a country that does not want us deciding things or having a voice of any kind just here to be a disposable warm body
yes it is like that rick and morty episode with the body theme park you know things are dying and rotting and falling apart around you but that is the extent of your powers unless someone on the outside intervenes
Why are you not allowed to vote?
Felony record probably
Being a sexy mofo should not be a crime, but here we are…
I’ll sigh, shake my head, and think, “That figures”. And then I’ll go to work, like every other day.
This but perhaps crippling depression as well.
The same thing I do after every election, cringe for another four years.
Well, I’ve got some rope, a candlestick, a revolver, a lead pipe and a nice knife; I wanted to keep my options open.
Same as I’ve been doing since he won last time. Stay in my more liberal home state, extend understanding to friends and relatives who live in conservative states, extend invitations to the few who might need to move to keep themselves safe. Keep donating and volunteering with the organizations I’ve been supporting.
I have a friend who is thinking about seeking asylum in the US. I have encouraged her to weigh her other options; there are other countries where she has friends and family that might be more welcoming to her. If Trump gets elected, I’m not sure she’ll even have a viable path to the US.
Well since I’ve been very vocally liberal and anti-Trump over the past 8 years or so, I suspect I’ll end up dying in a labor camp.
I don’t have the means to get out of the county beforehand or I’d already be out, and I think there’s effectively no country that’s going to be willing to take political refugees from the United States afterwords, so I’m pretty well fucked.If you honestly think the US under Trump is going to put liberals in labor camps despite watching his whole first term flounder on anything that wasn’t already galvinized by the GOPs platform I think you need to watch less sensationalized news.
I think you’re discrediting that there’s a decent chance that Trump is at least going to try to turn the US into a dictatorship. I’m hoping any attempt will fail, but there’s been weirder successes throughout history
Live in denial while our country crumbles around us.
Don’t worry, it already is.
And when it’s not crashing down, it’s funding ethnic cleansing in foreign countries instead. Gotta keep the combo going.
Just keep going about my daily life. The result of the election is not going to change where I live or where I work. The Federal Government doesn’t have much of an impact on my day to day life, beyond federal laws and regulatory agencies. I don’t see those changing in an (immediately) catastrophic way. Most of my day to day life is determined by my state and town government.
As a Canadian I’m not sure what I would do for the next election if it is Trump vs Biden. I can’t support someone who keeps supporting Israel after their actions in the last couple of months. But Trump literally said he will jail journalist and protesters and wants to invade mexico. I also feel like Trump would support Israel too .
I can’t support someone who keeps supporting Israel
Then anyone Republicans put up for election is off your list. That’s been the deal for the last several decades, evangelicals support Republicans because Republicans support Israel. “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem” and all that shit.
Even Trump took a fairly resolved situation, which was that the capital of Israel was in Tel Aviv (separating the government and the state of Israel from the hotly debated religious claims to ownership of Jerusalem and various sites there) and decided it was too much peace for him. So out of the blue in 2017 he said the US will now recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Cue completely foreseen and avoidable anger and unrest on multiple sides.
There are a lot of people in this thread saying the president doesn’t have much power, but there’s a good example: with the stroke (or spasm) of a pen the orange antichrist effectively moved the capital of a sovereign nation. No Congress, no Senate, no judiciary needed. And in doing so he set back peace in that region to 1947 levels. We’re at the six year mark of that act now: tell me, how is that working out for Israel and Gaza?
But if Republicans are elected, expect more of the same, because the evangelicals are not only convinced their salvation is dependent on their support of Israel, and that “god” will turn a blind eye to their MANY sins if they do this consistently, they are ALSO trying very hard to get Jesus to come back on the return leg of his promised round trip, so they will do everything in their power to destabilize the Middle East because they think that by doing so they can force the divine hand. Or, to use the parlance of that group, they believe war in Israel means they will be taken up in the Rapture. To Glory. While the rest of us bake in the detritus they have left behind.
