If I was American, I'd absolutely, positively be pulling all nighters to find a way to emigrate.
Being in Canada, I'm already working on plans to leave. I'm not getting stuck here if absolute power seeking dude who talks about taking Canada and Greenland (and gets caught trying to take Greenland) gets absolute power. Fuck that shit, I give it 12 months once Trump crosses the rubicon before hen uses his sharpie to move the border.
If only it were that easy. Many of us have family we help take care of (and who wouldn't move because they are to old). And children who would suffer greatly by such a drastic move (mine has special needs, so moving means new doctors and schools...). Then there is the issue of a job.
Those in power have done a great job making it hard for people to just up and move.
I am in the same boat. I'm ready to up and leave for almost anywhere else ...but I can't leave my family here. And they don't want to move or can't move
Oh come on! Canada IS my escape plan! I just finished step 1 and bought a house 20 miles from the border in Maine!
Escape to Canada only works if Trump is prevented from consolidating power and you just want to get away from the people who elected him.
Still a big upgrade from the US, just saying that it might only be temporary.
Move to europe, same exact shit but with putin.
Only place to escape is maybe Australia.
Not quite. I can put a good number of countries and militaries between myself and Putin there.
I'm literally in a spot where the US military would set up on day 1 if things went that way.
So yes, point taken but it's really apples and oranges. For now.
