Fuck, this his hard. As a father of a gay child, and a trans child, our immediate plans are passports.

    As you know, we're in a similar boat. Thankfully, we can get to Britain and stay (in theory) but the prospect of telling my elderly mother and my wife's family goodbye for the last time, finding the money, finding new jobs with my health issues, just downsizing so that we can move...

    But we are doing it.

    I hope you and your family find safety and my best wishes to all of you.

    Imagine being Latino in a red state.

    They've already done it to gay and trans people. Last time the Muslim ban was foiled by the courts. Now that the Republicans control the presidency, the SC, the house and Senate, little stands in their way. Project 2025's Schedule F will see to that.

    Some states did an amazing self-own tonight, and unfortunately both teams are going to endure some severe beatings. I feel absolutely sick right now. Poor us. Poor Ukraine. Poor middle east. Taiwan is so fucking boned.

    Trump didn't mean them when he said "they" were poisoning the blood of our country.

    And, of course, they will never get rounded up and put in a camp. As long as they have the proper identification on them that shows they're a citizen when checked. And the cop checking will believe that identification is both genuine and not stolen.

    Italy has a digital nomad visa now. Cost of living is so so but if you can freelance it's not a terrible place to live as an expat. Source: am US dual citizen living here. Feel free to pm me with any qs

    Yes, any criticism is just people with anger issues, that's sorta my point guy.

    Ed: also notice I get civility hits from everywhere else, the only ones that contain personal bias are yours.

    Care to share an example of this? I'm all for learning and growing, and maybe we can resolve this hostility in a non-hostile manner.

    Read the mod log dude, we've had this conversation in private chat three times.

    The last strike and subsequent ban were because you disagree with an interpretation of mine. Not that it's factually wrong, not that it's hateful, that you disagree and thus you removed it.

    Ahh. I had to scroll for a while to find it, but this was my last message on that topic:

    perma ban for fighting people with the usage of misinformation.

    Yes the Nazis famously led by whom? Context matters, bringing up Nazis is invoking Hitler and implying jd is literal Hitler. No, I mention that the way was already going to point out the ineptitude of your choice of date, 1938 being the most apt for your situation. The word evemy, I already offered the definition, you either lack reading ability, simply didn’t read it and you’re being wildly obtuse. We agree, why are you being a Vance right now? Ed: I’ll provide another > one that is antagonistic to another - especially : one seeking to injure, overthrow, or confound an opponent You*** stop an opponent you destroy an evemy***.

    Opponent and enemy are the same in the goal, but not always the same in the motive. You try to beat the opponent/enemy, in the method proscribed in the actions being taken.

    During WW2 but before the us entered? What a dumb question, of course but that time they were already running concentration camps. Are you implying jd Vance is literal Hitler and runs concentration camps in his backyard I guess? I sourced you the definition. I say he’s my opponent which does not imply violence, you say he is your enemy which does imply violence and you’re also berating me because I agree with you but refuse to use violent vitriolic language. Neat, logic that one out yourself.

    He’s an opponent, he’s someone I stand against, he isn’t my enemy. Because when I say enemy I mean someone who needs to be removed from society by any means possible. You seem to use it as someone you don’t appreciate. Enemy: >a person who hates or opposes another person and tries to harm them or stop them from doing something: Opponent: a person who disagrees with something and speaks against it or tries to change it: I’m fairly sure by news rules calls for violence are specifically against the rules and I’m not sure why you would call for violence given that is the only difference in meaning between the two words.

    Enemy (From the Oxford Learner’s Dictionary):

    a person who hates someone or who acts or speaks against someone or something

    In short, you twist words to your desires, and you talk down to people, insulting them, and their abilities.

    I'll be hopping another client to post full screenshots of all our discussions, as right now, I'm being painted as an ass, without context.

    You're proving my point, that's a ban because you didn't like interpretation, not because I violated a rule and most certainly not because it is factually wrong.

    Ed: it should be noted that the context you're arguing for is that I should violently hate jd Vance because we have different opinions and positions. He's not my enemy, he's an opponent. Your proving you banned me because I won't say I violently dislike jd Vance. Come on bud, you're smart enough to see that is bias.

    Finally, the guy you were arguing with I removed comments, for the same reason.

    I had completely forgotten about this until you attacked me here.

    It will though, the US passport offers a ton of visa-free destinations. Although it's not immigration,it definitely helps

    I imagine that's going to change. Why would anyone welcome someone who statistically was very likely to have voted for a fascist? America will never be respected ever again
