Perhaps the country you applied to is an outlier. Or maybe as is often the case, you applied a long time ago when things were simpler.

This doesn’t seem like a picture that benefits in any way by being black and white.
what the fuck are you guys actually suggesting here?
There never is a suggestion. It’s never thought through. It’s all just abstract. Civil war is an abstract thought that can be talked about without anyone needing to consider how it would actually play out.
So how does it work? Do conservatives from Texas take a greyhound bus to california, get out, and start blasting indiscriminately? Do they stop people on the street and randomly ask their political views before blasting?
It’s hard to have a civil war when your enemy is ill defined. People arent going to be standing in fields with blue and grey uniforms.
What is more likely to happen is simply clashes during protests .
What you forgot to mention is that the “target” country has to want you. Even progressive Americans seem to have the belief (american exceptionalism) that they can just “move” to another country if they wake up in November to find the wrong guy won. In reality, you have to apply to immigrate to a country. Your application is gone through with a fine tooth comb. It will be 50 pages of information including blood work, urine tests, xrays, and FBI background checks. You may be granted a visa if you have something the country wants or needs, like a higher qualification or a job offer. But chicken and egg, it will be near impossible to get a job offer without a visa. And if you have a high BMI, medical issues, or an arrest record, you may as well forget about it. Many countries require that you have a 4 figure wad of free cash to get yourself started. If your target country has already met its immigration quota for the year then forget about it. If your target country has thousands of applicants (which most “good” countries do at any time), then your application has to rise above the others e.g., you have a job offer and a phd. Assuming you get through all this, it will take months to well over a year to get through the process. Want to bring your pets? Factor in 5-10k USD each for shipping, veterinary, and quarantine fees.
The bottom line is… stop yammering on about moving to another country if the orange shitstain wins. If you haven’t started the process yet of your own volition then you’ve likely not the tenacity to work that Sisyphean task.
Instead, vote.
What are you going to build metal sculptures or something?
If things go south for the US in November then what you’ll have in Ukraine will be a far worse life than being in the US
As we see in the news the move toward the far right is a global phenomenon not just a US thing. Jumping ship is difficult already and there will be fewer desirable countries to go to, as various countries are infected with varying levels of far right. Most Americans don’t understand that you cant just pack up and move to another country. Socially progressive countries have difficult and lengthy immigration processes, and caps. Only the very rich and the lucky few will have that agency annually. Other countries wont be entertaining 10s of thousands of potential American immigrants. If project 2025 is what the younger generations see fit to vote into power then they can reap what they sow.
Hey there big fella.
Most people shit the same time every day. If you just nudge your shit cycle to be right before your daily shower then all this hassle goes away
If you stick the wand up your ass it might work even better.
Who was the comedian who said that?
I get it… reality hurts.
If the American public is so shallow that they would vote in Trump because of Joe’s senility, then yes, we need to replace him while there still might be time. The key here is that we have to do what is necessary to keep Trump out of office. Because if Trump is voted in there won’t be much left in 4 years to save.
It’s a bitter pill to swallow and the people downvoting you are having trouble swallowing it. And a good portion of your downvotes are probably russian sourced.
Best wishes for your dad. I hope things get better or that fate gives you peace.
Blue jay.
No. If it isnt worth reading now then it isn’t worth reading
well if you want to sit back you can hear a tale…
See if you can find a 3 hour tour to get you started
The hospital is apparently on the sixth floor, with many windows.
So yes.
