Must be nice to have the ability to do it.
He is literally not American
Yes I’m aware.
There are relatively easy paths out. If you're young enough, Canada offers a working holiday visa program
I was able to save enough and do it while working as a line cook. The most expensive part is physically moving
We should be celebrating other people leaving. It hurts the regime.
Lots of people left russia before and after the war started, it doesn't hurt enough. Government was actually ok with that.
I'm about 90% sure they've been trying to get educated people to leave the U.S. before the midterms. It feels like some of the disinformation campaigns of 2026 have become so obvious now compared to the campaigns of 2016.
There's obviously a chance there won't be midterms but as dumb as these people are, they probably didn't kick off a 50 year long plan to destroy the U.S. government and overthrow democracy without a Plan A, Plan B, and probably a Plan C.
Even if Plan A is to cancel the midterms, it's easier to do that, along with a lot of other bullshit, if you successfully carry out a Plan B where you convince a significant chunk of the population with education, money, and influence to leave the country before you carry out Plan A. That leaves a weaker population to push back against you.
