Consider how bad things are in Central America right now and then remember that despite the abject violence currently happening in many countries there right now, the U.S. still harbors deep anti-immigrant sentiments and we regularly turn away people fleeing said violence and return them to the custody of their would-be killers.

Yeah, you won't need an answer to this question when the times comes for us. You'll know, and you'll be willing to get on that boat or airplane leaving for anywhere else even if they aren't accepting refugees or the odds are slim that anywhere else will take you, because the alternative is certain death.

You're probably better off trying to emigrate now rather than waiting for things to get worse, if you are in a position where you can make that choice. Some people make their livings preying upon those who are desperately seeking an escape, so it's a bargain right now to leave for the cost of a plane ticket and whatever elbow grease you need to put in to achieve citizenship abroad.

take a look at your neighbors houses.

are they on fire or being raided yet?

no? not yet.

You and me both. It's been a joke for decades but I ain't laughing. I think we are the first wave. Either we are overreacting and go back whenever if we want, or...well, I don't want to think about the "or" scenario..

I wish luck to you and anybody doing the same. It seems to me like it could benefit Canada to accept the people the US loses. It won’t exactly be the trumpers and domestic terrorists knocking at the door.

I have pretty deep family roots where I am, and I was born into demographics acceptable to the incoming regime, so I probably won’t be going anywhere for now. But it is going to suck watching people get hurt and the country decomposing no matter where I live.

There should be some community-led resource centres to help as well, depending on where you're headed. I know there's been a lot of talk and early organizing on this side to help resource people who need to get out.

That being said, I imagine certain blue states should still be okay for a couple years at least if that's easier.

I sympathize a bit. I remember my heart pounding in the lead-up to the election, to the point where I felt ill. Now it's just an endless pit of despair instead of a panic attack.

A racist "dipshit" who plans on declaring emergency so as to round up certain undesirables without any constitutional requirements on their internment conditions, health, or safety.

You deserve the right to exist as much as anybody else.

Hope you can get the police involved, if possible. Not sure where you're from, but I know small town politics don't always make that a real possibility. Rapists too often get away with their crimes because people are too scared to come forward and that's just the sad reality of the country we live in now.

I'll echo the other commenters - if you can get out of here, do it quickly. America is on a very dark trajectory. Don't let yourself continue to be victimized.

I'm sorry that happened to you.

Well that went 100-20 real quick

It'll take time. Even Hitler didn't immediately manage to implement his genocidal plans once he came into power.
