      Why should I go down with the ship? What did I do to deserve it?

      That’s some soulless selfish bullshit you’re peddling.

      I guess sticking around to try to improve things, or hell, working to have improved it before it got this bad, are just too much to ask.

        America is not fixable right now. The majority of voters supported a Nazi. The population has to age out before any change can come and that could take 50 years.

          The majority of voters supported a Nazi.

          Factually wrong. A plurality of voters supported a Nazi. The majority, 50.2%, voted for other candidates. Pedantic, yes, but meaningful nonetheless.

          Gotcha, fuck the poor, they can die under Nazis. Thanks for your valuable input.

          I would like to point out that all the people with halfway decent politics leaving is only going to accelerate how bad things are in the US. You get that, right?

            How did things work out for the people that stayed in Nazi Germany? I think people can see where things are going and if they can they are getting out. Life is not fair but you have to do what is best for you and your family.

            I’m stuck here with you, living in a red state.

            I spent years trying to convince people to vote. Not just presidential elections, the yearly local shit too. It’s become one of the big things I’ve been doing a lot.

            When I had people I respected proudly tell me they didn’t vote either way, I lost hope for this damn country that if one this fucking important couldn’t get them to bother, nothing will.

            I can’t blame people for leaving after that, I’m not sure I have the energy in me to keep beating the drum if I’m completely surrounded by people who are in far more danger than I am giving far less shits than I do.
