Most people don’t. I really didn’t get the whole scope/big picture until my wife (who immigrated as a child and now works with immigrant families) explained the whole process and gave examples of things she’s seen at work and with people in the community. Last night we got dinner with my mom and she asked “OK where are we moving to?” to only get a lengthy conversation of how it’s works and how hard it is. It’s not as easy as buying a plane ticket, selling all your stuff or shipping things to where you are going and then picking up life as normal. I hope most people here realize that, but I felt like it needed to be said.
Lol and go where? From what I can tell, Canada has a housing crisis and is tilting right. Western Europe is already getting sick of immigrants and dealing with the far right.
My wife and I have considered shoring up in Baja. We have quite a few friends in a well insulated community down there, and it’s a 12 hour drive from where we’re at, assuming they don’t lock the border from the inside (which they probably will at some point).
The entire rest of the world needs to be on watch, trump is a potential threat to other countries
FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN AMERICA GET THE FUCK OUT NOW
You realize that unless you have a second citizenship it’s not easy to just up and leave for another country?
Even that isn’t enough unless you have a lot of money laying around and some kind of support network in whatever country you plan to escape to.

Immigration is never easy… Right? I’d like to hear more stories from those who ensured the process.
Shipping your things? Lmao 🤣
I’ve looked, it’s also incredibly expensive, outside of many people’s means, mine included

Exactly. They’re DEALING WITH the far right. They haven’t just handed they keys to the country over.
There’s still a chance for them.

and move where? to another country electing fascists?
Yeah now that Russia has bought and paid for the US they can focus elsewhere.
maybe it’s not time to run, maybe it’s time to fight.
I’d love to leave, but it isn’t feasible for me. I’m absolutely terrified and have no way out.
Fuck that, I love this country and I’m not ceding it to a bunch of stupid bigots. They’re the ones that should be leaving.
I’m not leaving. All my friends are here. We don’t run from danger.
Ahhh yes, it is so easy to pick up and move to another country. Why didn’t anyone think of this earlier?
always has been.
Lol, no thanks, I think things will get really good around here once January hits
