It is dependent entirely on what the American citizens do from here on out to me. If they do something to stop this en mass I will forgive them. But I doubt they will do more than lament about it online at most. Half of them support this idiot.
I’ve been talking about this a lot. We don’t have a unified banner fight under. Our liberal leadership are weak, and they undermine the leftists and progressives who want to actually fight.
Bernie Sanders is rallying people all over the country right now, getting them angry. Most people I know are livid.
We need a spark to light the powderkeg.
Personally speaking, I’ve already been making plans to leave. I have no pride in this place. I never have. My girlfriend is a citizen of Mexico and I have the ability to work from there if I want. I’m going there to scout places to live next Thursday.
Anyway, for what it’s worth, I’m rooting for the rest of the world. Trump and his goons can keep the mess they’ve made. Unless fighting breaks out in Seattle, its none of my business. To hell with this country.
(Good seeing you again, Crux. The fediverse is actually still a small place.)
lol it is. I find myself arguing with someone in one comment section and then agreeing with them and telling them how cool they are in another lots of the time. It’s funny.
I know it’s no consolation, but not all of us down here are shit-bags. I am the son of an immigrant, I speak a few languages, have traveled around the world several times. I’ve always been keenly aware of how awful the United States are. It’s always been a point of embarrassment for me. Over the last 10 years, though, I’ve had to come to terms with leaving.
It’s hard to just give up a whole life. I have friends, a community, family, and belongings that I will have to choose to leave behind.
But I’m unhappy here.
Just know that while it’s easy to say “all Americans can fuck off,” and largely I am on board with that, those of us who want change can’t seem to find a way to make it happen. Voting failed us majorly twice. I’m not fully convinced that the tech sector didn’t help usher this asshole into power.

They absolutely did. There is no question. Peter Thiel especially.
Yep. He’s the boogeyman that the Right always say that George Soros is. It’s always projection with those assholes.

George Soros is also an awful bastard. But for different reasons.
Pretty much every ultra rich guy is a huge piece of shit.
Agreed. Just using him as an example.
