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

[-] dance_ninja@lemmy.world 56 points 6 hours ago

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.

You realize that unless you have a second citizenship it's not easy to just up and leave for another country?

[-] RawrGuthlaf@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

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.

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.

and move where? to another country electing fascists?

[-] formergijoe@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Yeah now that Russia has bought and paid for the US they can focus elsewhere.

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 16 points 6 hours ago

I'd love to leave, but it isn't feasible for me. I'm absolutely terrified and have no way out.

[-] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

maybe it's not time to run, maybe it's time to fight.

[-] Edgarallenpwn@midwest.social 4 points 5 hours ago

Ahhh yes, it is so easy to pick up and move to another country. Why didn't anyone think of this earlier?

Literally in a car with an immigrant right now who voted Trump because things were cheaper before covid.

FFS.

[-] DerArzt@lemmy.world 128 points 8 hours ago

Anecdotal evidence that the right is for the uneducated.

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 68 points 8 hours ago

Anecdotally... About 75% of the right that I know/met.

The other 25% is a mix of racism, greed, and conspiracy theory.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 16 points 7 hours ago

Every time they'll be complaining about the price hikes under Trump, just remind them of why they voted for Trump. This is the best course of action against "collective amnesia" as we call it in Hungary.

Solid distinction.

Religion primed the rubes, and a new godhead told them he is their salvation.

[-] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 16 points 6 hours ago

So sad that dumbasses who think the President controls grocery store prices and gas prices have done this to us all.

I voted for Harris and my state went red for Trump as usual. Just sad and disgusted at it all today.

[-] doublehelix@lemmy.cafe 16 points 6 hours ago

Grocery stores are making record profits. Do they really think they are going to voluntarily cut prices? They know there will be no oversight under trump (not that Biden did anything about price gouging). Prices are going to go up even higher.

It's 80 degrees in November. America has reelected a climate change denier. SUV sales continue to rise.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 41 points 7 hours ago

I have to remind myself that the only silver lining of being Californian and unable to really effect this outcome of this race is that we're also least likely to pay any personal consequences. Still bad, but I feel for people in states with less protections for LGBTQ and immigrants, and especially for people in countries that are completely fucked right now unless something crazy happens.

I know already that my state and several other blue states have been working on a contingency plan ever since Biden looked like a certain loss, months back. Then again, might make little difference if he goes full fascist, but a silver lining is a silver lining none the less.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 33 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Over here in Florida where they're banning books and censoring LGBT from schools. All my family (besides my parents and siblings) are Republicans and are actively voting to the person who is trying to legalize murdering me (trans, closeted) 🙃
My teacher is also an anti masker.
Send help pls.

[-] Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago

When you're 18, you're more than welcome in the New Mexico/Colorado coalition. New Mexico is more affordable, FYI. Until then, there are good people on Lemmy you can lean on.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

I noticed that... Redder than ever as I watched the polls. I guess at least it'll be under the ocean in a few decades. Amazing how it changed since 2000, though. My PhD is in education policy, and also someone who dated a trans woman, I know exactly how fucked y'all are.

If only California could fix it's housing issues, we really should be a refuge for cool folk like yourself. People used to flock here, for better or worse.

Diabetes, please do your job.

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 16 points 6 hours ago

trump may very well die within the next 4 years, even 4 weeks after all that campaigning strain, but I am just no sure if JD wouldn't make everything worse if he got hold of the reins?

One thing is sure President Vance would be a total shit show.

So guilliani is gonna be bailed out, Vince McMahon is gonna get a pardon too, same with Elon for whatever he wants to do, and pretty much every evil billionaire out there. I also think Trump has no interest in governing, and this administration will be Vance and his project 25 people running the show

[-] Zirconium@lemmy.world 31 points 8 hours ago

Free Sam Bankman Fried. Maybe he can steal more money from morons

Our embassy would be calling for our citizens to leave USA now if not the pesky international relations.

Fuck this shit

[-] cheeseburger@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 hours ago

Shithole country.

[-] Madrigal@lemmy.world 65 points 9 hours ago

4 more years? Nah. 6 months before they turf him.

This'll be a Vance presidency.

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 27 points 7 hours ago

To what end? He'll do what billionaires and the project 2025 ghouls want him to anyways. He doesn't need to be turfed. They want to keep him there soaking up all the media attention and hate while they do their evil shit in the dark.

Assuming...you know...Biden will lose his record for oldest president ever and the gerontocracy continues.

Gotta think 2029 brings the biggest drop in age for a long time, JFK was 26 years younger than Eisenhower. We could beat it with a 56 year old in 2029. Vance would break that record if by election or...you know...but I think Whitmer would be 56 exactly. Wes Moore, Buttigieg, Josh Shapiro would all break it.

[-] AlbertSpangler@lemmings.world 15 points 7 hours ago

You're assuming you have further elections

[-] alekwithak@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

He looks like a cartoon demon. An exaggerated 90s gross-up cartoon demon. Wtf do people see in him* except for their ugly-ass selves?
