"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Trump knows exactly what he's doing. He is waiting on his rabid fan base to kill Fauci.

He meant Fauci when he said "you" i guess. This is so fucking stupid, but no surprises there

I'm waiting for the inevitable immigration programs that countries are gonna roll out to make it easier/more attractive for educated Americans

Yes, this is "my" country, but fixing the gaping wound it's got now won't solve all the other more insidious issues

Or Canada...

But what it reminds me of is Haiti, so many Haitians go study abroad and never come back (not permanently anyway)... The same thing will end up happening in the USA if things keep going the way they are, tons of people with higher education will leave and only those in agreement with the government will stay, making things even worse and the general population will be stuck...

Pro tip if you don't have special qualifications to help you get out, Australia has long lasting visas if you do work in the agricultural sector, if you add time as a tourist you can stay up to 2.5 years.

Germany eased up on naturalizations laws in the last year actually, not sure about other countries in the EU but I'm sure they're at least making plans. There's a skilled labor shortage everywhere and they'd love to swipe some Americans.

Yup. Other countries need to step up and take the refugees from our current Nazi president.

It's hard to get the same rate of pay outside the US. If I moved to the UK, AND got promoted from Snr Mgr to Director I'd take a 30% pay cut on average, not to mention what I'd lose on selling my house early, transferring 401k, current liquid assets, car, moving costs for me and family as well as the emotional, social and opportunity cost of moving my wife who'd also have to secure her own package or else be out of work.

Then there's the Visa cost.

You're probably looking at $20-30k USD costs not including opportunity cost and salary decrease.

Operation paperclip

Those 4 years don't erase the long service. I'm glad we had fauci during those 4 years instead of a Trump toadie.

I will never understand how trump killed thousands of people minimum through inaction and got away with it Scot free. Wasn't even mentioned leading up to the election. Not in debates, articles, anywhere that I saw. The man is worse than any serial killer and never even gets a finger wag about it anymore.

No, it was actually the deep state who kept him in office!!!!!

Yes

You're taking your thinking too far about things that happened a long time ago! Trump voters don't remember shit and a lot of them probably don't understand what they remember.

Stochastic Terrorism

Well, he did not say stand back and stand by. So...yeah.

Not only that, but if one of the Jan 6 crew attacks him, I fully expect Trump to pardon that person. Trump is essentially declaring hunting season open, and Republicans will let him, because he's grabbed the party by the pussy.

This is textbook stochastic terrorism.

He could just walk up and shoot him in the head and say it was for national security. SC said thats totally cool when the president does it. Fuck he could probably make it a PPV event

They all have money, they will feel no repercussions. They can buy the best Healthcare available, taking it away from others without a second thought.
