It’s not much better over here anyways, anti trans laws and oil industry dick sucking is ramping up more than ever.

I’d ask “what have trans people ever done to anyone” but you could ask the same of any minority they harass (Facism needs a target)
Seems like it’s only going to get worse, too.
You can outlive this. There’s a good chance he can’t. Be strong, and look out for those more vulnerable than yourself.
My concern is that the train is still running at full speed even if the driver has died of a heart attack.
I’ve been looking for silver linings. The two I’ve found are:
-
Trump probably won’t live to see the end of his term. Dude is old and not exactly healthy. One could argue Vance taking his place would be worse, but I’m choosing to focus on the positives here.
-
Trump winning very likely prevented a civil war. I know a ton of people who had been stocking up on supplies and weapons. Again, one could argue giving these people the keys to the kingdom probably wasn’t the smartest move, but again I’m trying to focus on the positives.
I think he’s the devil and he’ll never die. I wouldn’t count on him dying. In my experience really poisonous people live a long time.
He is basically line for line the biblical antichrist. That’s infinitely funny to me.
this is honestly the thing that’s getting me to question my atheism.
It’s not like there was an assassination attempt during his rise to power and he survived with a headwound or anything like that, right?
Hey, quit shitting on my silver lining. I choose to believe he’ll die soon due to Macdonald’s induced heart failure and you can’t take that hope away from me!
Agreed on both points. The second means today is safer although Project 2025 spells danger ahead.
As for Trump, his physical deterioration and dementia and just general chaos of intentions are more of a check on him accomplishing evil than anything legal or political. When he runs the economy completely off the rails will it spark anything in the midterms? Will his Cabinet change every week? How long until he “never met” Elon?
So we draw breath, and persevere.
ROFL
Trump didn’t prevent civil war. Think back to what happened after the Jan 6 insurrection. When they failed to stop Biden’s certification by valiantly committing minor vandalism and taking selfies, MAGA ominously promised that vague “actions” would occur in state capitals on his inauguration day. That day came and went, and the few “actions” that even happened had attendance in the dozens - mostly pathetic loners holding cardboard signs in the rain. The fired-up revolutionaries saw their freedom-fighting heroes methodically tracked down by the FBI and arrested, so instead of a civil war uprising they stayed home and posted angy tirades on Parler.
Contrast this with any real cause, like the BLM marches, which saw thousands of people show up week after week, in city after city, in spite of police beatdowns, arrests, and even some deaths. The difference is personal commitment. MAGAs are great at making loud noises, but when they’re faced with the prospect of individual risk, most of them just hide in their freedom bunkers and shake their tiny fists at the TV. That bunch of blowhards will stock up on survival rations and tactical desert boots, but they couldn’t civil war their way out of a Walmart.
Wow. Chamberlin’s ghost is shocked at that level of appeasement and cowardice.

Oh boy, President JD ‘couch enthusiast’ Vance!
That’s just it, I’m a white male, I know I’ll be comparatively fine. It’s not really me I’m worried about.
Thank you for this. It’s more helpful than you know.
Because J.D. Vance is going yo improve things?
Good joke.
I love the assumption that other countries would just take American emigrants.
It’s a shit ton harder than people realize… well at least to go anywhere in the industrialized world. Unless you are independently wealthy or have an extremely high demand job.
Billy Bob who’s career is working at McDonalds isn’t going to get approved.
I’m considering applying for asylum to Ireland
Sure, but there’s also half of your countrymen to think about
True. Trump does not hold a monopoly on suck.
But he does have a monopoly on his fan base. Hopefully the hamburder in his veins requires a scramble for a new king and none of his court can agree who should have the crown and the crowd rejects them anyway.
Don’t come to Canada. We don’t have enough housing for the people already here. Most of you will die of exposure during your first winter here.
Go to Mexico instead. I’m sure they’ll take you.
Canada talking a lot of good shit in posts like this lately. Don’t get me wrong, I grew up near the border and I love Canada, but don’t pretend it’s not just a handful of resource extraction companies stacked in a trench coat pretending to be a country.
We rank above the US is virtually every metric. Education. Healthcare. Life expectancy. Lower infant and maternal mortality. Standard of living. Quality of life. Safety. Religious freedom. Personal freedom. Better place to do business. Better place to headquarter a business. Better beer. Maple syrup.
But by all means, keep telling yourself whatever you need to tell yourself to get through the day.
Safety?
Immigration in most developed countries is stricter than the US. And we all know the US’s immigration restrictions are insane.
Don’t worry. He’ll be coming for Canada. You already have MAGA lovers up there. Who’s going to stop him? The Canadian military?
It already well on it’s way depending on your province. People have moved out of Quebec because of the intolerance going on there. Hell, I know a streamer who moved because someone threw a fucking brick through their window at his wife who moved there from the USA. Not because she’s black or colored either, because she’s white as a piece of paper.
Alberta is trying to get rid of public health care, Ontario isn’t far behind.
It things like this that make me lose faith in my fellow man.
Canada is just america but 5-10 years behind on the crazy policies. It really isn’t any better and cost of living is often higher than in america.
This is simply not true. Did America have universal medicine 5-10 years ago? Subsidized education? Abortion and trans rights? Refugee policies? The only country in America attempting to highlight the genocide in Gaza? “Cost of living” isn’t higher on average, it’s the taxes and population density in specific areas that skew the numbers. Not surprising you cant count.
Seems to me americans love to say Canada is americas retarded cousin (quoting tucker carlson) because it makes them feel better, but it’s simply not true.
Our society isnt exactly the same as America’s but it does seem to mirror it a little more every year. For example we are on the brink of losing our public healthcare and some provinces are attacking trans rights. Canada has also been exporting arms to Israel during the genocide.
Fascism is growing. Saying we are america 5-10 years behind is stupid. I didnt say canada wasnt exporting arms, i said it’s the only one publicly calling out the problem.
This garabge of “well we still send arms” with 0 nuance is why assholes like Trump get elected. Gtfo out canada you arent helping
Stay strong people!
WeMost of us* survived the last Trump presidency, we got this.Gaza won’t survive. Ukraine likely won’t survive.
American democracy’s survival is questionable at best.
I’m not saying ‘give up’. But we also have to recognize the magnitude of the impact this election is going to have. And many people who stay here despite everything are going to have their lives at risk.
American democracy? already dead. we have already slipped into constitutional oligarchy territory
All empires fall. This is just our turn. That isnt the scary part. The scary part is how failing empires often lash out militarily on the way out. And this one has nukes.
If it gets bad I actually will move to Canada, I’m a dual citizen
I remember that being said by the Hitlers (normal people but had the no longer so nice last name) about changing last name.
If only they had stuck with it, who would have thought Hitler would come back in style again?

I’ve looked into it, believe me. New Zealand too. My wife is too rooted to our house, and we have an adult daughter still living at home with medical problems that would probably disqualify her.
It’s not just that, people are acting like things are better in other countries. Like, name ONE country that has not gone off the deep end and ended up on the right recently. One major player. I’ll wait. There is no utopia waiting for you in those other countries because they don’t want you there and acting like you will be accepted as a refugee is foolhardy. The USA is a shit show right now, but we also don’t know the future. It looks bleak right now because of the information we have RIGHT NOW. If you want to move out of the country, be my guest, but don’t act like it’s going to automatically be better, it’s just going to be a different kind of shit show.
Draft dodging?
Jokes on you, I’m too fat and mentally ill to be in the military anyways.
Yes, the joke is clearly on me.
