You realize that unless you have a second citizenship it's not easy to just up and leave for another country?
Even that isn't enough unless you have a lot of money laying around and some kind of support network in whatever country you plan to escape to.
Most people don't. I really didn't get the whole scope/big picture until my wife (who immigrated as a child and now works with immigrant families) explained the whole process and gave examples of things she's seen at work and with people in the community. Last night we got dinner with my mom and she asked "OK where are we moving to?" to only get a lengthy conversation of how it's works and how hard it is. It's not as easy as buying a plane ticket, selling all your stuff or shipping things to where you are going and then picking up life as normal. I hope most people here realize that, but I felt like it needed to be said.
Lol and go where? From what I can tell, Canada has a housing crisis and is tilting right. Western Europe is already getting sick of immigrants and dealing with the far right.
and move where? to another country electing fascists?
Yeah now that Russia has bought and paid for the US they can focus elsewhere.
Ahhh yes, it is so easy to pick up and move to another country. Why didn't anyone think of this earlier?
maybe it's not time to run, maybe it's time to fight.
I'd love to leave, but it isn't feasible for me. I'm absolutely terrified and have no way out.
Fuck that, I love this country and I'm not ceding it to a bunch of stupid bigots. They're the ones that should be leaving.

It's 80 degrees in November. America has reelected a climate change denier. SUV sales continue to rise.
Shithole country.
Our embassy would be calling for our citizens to leave USA now if not the pesky international relations.
And he'll hand this country to the rich in a silver platter.
Yeah, they just needed a stooge to sign off on whatever and keep people distracted with his antics.
I have to remind myself that the only silver lining of being Californian and unable to really effect this outcome of this race is that we're also least likely to pay any personal consequences. Still bad, but I feel for people in states with less protections for LGBTQ and immigrants, and especially for people in countries that are completely fucked right now unless something crazy happens.
I know already that my state and several other blue states have been working on a contingency plan ever since Biden looked like a certain loss, months back. Then again, might make little difference if he goes full fascist, but a silver lining is a silver lining none the less.
Over here in Florida where they're banning books and censoring LGBT from schools. All my family (besides my parents and siblings) are Republicans and are actively voting to the person who is trying to legalize murdering me (trans, closeted) 🙃
My teacher is also an anti masker.
Send help pls.
When you're 18, you're more than welcome in the New Mexico/Colorado coalition. New Mexico is more affordable, FYI. Until then, there are good people on Lemmy you can lean on.
I noticed that... Redder than ever as I watched the polls. I guess at least it'll be under the ocean in a few decades. Amazing how it changed since 2000, though. My PhD is in education policy, and also someone who dated a trans woman, I know exactly how fucked y'all are.
If only California could fix it's housing issues, we really should be a refuge for cool folk like yourself. People used to flock here, for better or worse.

He looks like a cartoon demon. An exaggerated 90s gross-up cartoon demon. Wtf do people see in them except for their ugly-ass selves?
Even Klasky Csupo demons look better than this.
He pisses people off, which is funny or something. Plus they are afraid of immigrants and "the gay" though there have been times when those people have embraced good will and togetherness, usually when a country song about it becomes popular. There was one about doing a good deed and passing it on or something like that and people weren't dicks for a month or so.
Literally in a car with an immigrant right now who voted Trump because things were cheaper before covid.
FFS.
So sad that dumbasses who think the President controls grocery store prices and gas prices have done this to us all.
I voted for Harris and my state went red for Trump as usual. Just sad and disgusted at it all today.
I don't expect everybody to be politically aware, but there's "not politically aware" and then there's whatever that is.
Grocery stores are making record profits. Do they really think they are going to voluntarily cut prices? They know there will be no oversight under trump (not that Biden did anything about price gouging). Prices are going to go up even higher.
Not if people don't have enough money, then they'll take the five finger discount.

Diabetes, please do your job.
trump may very well die within the next 4 years, even 4 weeks after all that campaigning strain, but I am just no sure if JD wouldn't make everything worse if he got hold of the reins?
One thing is sure President Vance would be a total shit show.
