The comments, made on a conservative podcast, follow a string of moves from his administration to try to exert more control over American elections.
Probably has something to do with ICE causing a 30-point swing towards Democrats in a Texas State Senate race.
You’re a more hopeful, prosocial and perhaps overall better man than me, then. Were I in your position, I would’ve just gone somewhere else, somewhere a bit less crazy, and planted the trees over there. I cannot think of a viable alternative to the current system, no, and I think many people are too far gone for us to engage with them and try to build something together. Maybe in some decades, but not today. I guess Americans need Americans like you? Anyway, what an informed and invigorating post. Hope things go okay for you and your loved ones. 🙏
Oh, don’t get me wrong, even with all that said and in the works, I still have to think of my immediate family and am working on plans to get the hell out of this specific hellscape. I currently live in one of the states that is completely governed by sycophants of the regime so every day I have to worry about my wife and daughters futures and see their rights erode away despite my best efforts.
The process is not fast and we’ve only just gotten to the point of seriously looking at where we’re going and gathering documentation so until we actually do the move, I’ll be doing what I can to change the cultural narrative.
Damn. I’m sorry to hear a reasonable man who cares for his family like yourself has been unwillingly entangled in this mess, and like you there are many. What a shitshow. Stay strong, DokPsy, and may everything go smoothly for you. And maybe Straya/NZ?
Nz was a thought but we’re looking at Canada. Our skill sets make it a smoother process for entry and it’s not as much of a logistics issue
One of my closest friends moved to Canada recently, from France. Said people are really good vibes and open minded, and money’s good but rent isn’t cheap, overall very happy and is planning on becoming a permanent resident. I wish y’all the best, I’m sure it’s the best decision to make, a very wise one. 👍
