As a Canadian - not going back to the US for the far foreseeable future. This isn't a "after next election" fix. There's a deep cultural issue that needs to be fixed before I care to spend my money there again.
As an American, please don't. Our country is a dumpster fire, and I'm urging everyone to....ya know.....NEVER COME HERE!!! Seriously guys. It's bad. You're not safe here. Please don't put yourself in harms way.
Also......can't help but notice that you're Canadian. Mind if I stay on your couch for the next 60 years?
Can i sleep on the other side, like Charlie’s grandparents did in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
Idk depends how stinky your feet are
My feet aren’t stinky, but they can be dry in the winter time.
European in an international field here. I usually travel to US for work once every year or so but told my boss I am not willing to - his answer? “Well, me neither, you are good”
Heck, I don't want to be here either. I am working on re-ordering a passport (my old one expired). Also.. I may have a chance of getting approved for German residence/citizenship if all goes well (my mother was German). I just have the suspicion there are not nearly enough undocumented immigrants here to keep those planned warehouses perpetually filled-- so who they plan to fill them with? I am betting they will be for those not in the ~~Nazi~~ Republican Party. I am sure they will call them "employment centers" aka "work camps."
Yup. Even if we eek out a miracle and elect a majority Democratic House and/or Senate we still have a Dictator in the Whitehouse and his admin has sprinkled loyalists all over the country. It will take decades to root out most of the fascists (some were probably there way before Trump ran the first time).
As an American, there's a deep cultural issue that needs to be fixed in order for the country to survive.
Canada beat fascism by only 3%, your next election is probably gonna swing it. Sorey
If you're referring to popular vote share, it's not a very meaningful number in terms of impact on the federal election.
The only number that matters in the end is seats in the house, of which the Liberals won 152 vs 120 for the fascist party - that's roughly a 25% margin... not a tight race in any meaningful way.
Not saying it can't or won't happen here, just saying characterizing this last election as a 3% contest is grossly inaccurate in real terms.
It’s gonna happen. Fascism thrives on fear and uncertainty. Trump is just a trial run for every country. They will all have their very successful “Project 2025s”
There is hope, but if we talk about that sort of thing we will get banned from here.
Only a 25% margin?! That's fucking terrifying!
It was going to go handily toward fascism, but the US beat them to it, and sentiment immediately reversed course. A similar thing happened during the great depression. When people are living in scary, divisive times, fascism looks like a valid solution...until the country next door does it.
That culture is bleeding in to yours. Prepare yourself mentally, best of luck, and be safe!
