The mail in ballot box is being sabotaged by Trump.
I expect that the US is on it’s way to become a shithole country, but I have been in one before and know what to do.
If you trust the results. We have one party fighting against a fair and free election. If they steal the election, what options are left?
Oh my gods would you PLEASE shut your entirely ignorant pie hole about things you know nothing about? Don’t fucking twaddle to me about someone in my city making a pipe bomb when shithole cities like Oklahoma City got an entire fucking Federal building blown to holy shit twenty five years ago by a white supremacist fucktard. Clean your house before you think of speaking about mine, okay?
It’s not the fucking bombs that are the problem, it’s the fascist authoritarian scumbags who will use any excuse to get their knees on the necks of anyone they don’t like or who dares stand up to them. I’d party with every single self defined antifa bro in Portland before I’d have a single beer with cop and that’s the truth. Cops are so busy sucking Proud Boy and Patriot Prayer dick they almost don’t have enough time to beat the shit out of grannies and little kids. Almost.
I’m a BLM supporter and have educated myself on what’s been going on this summer. I read several sources The Washington Post, New York Times, ABC News, and the local news in Chicago and Portland.
My comments were only addressing extremists on the Left and Right. Along with the criminal elements that are using BLM’s marches as an excuse to loot and vandalize.
Yeah…I can kind of see that happening to you.
Definitely seriously considering a move to Canada if we end up with 4 more years of Trump. My mental health can’t take that amount of american “greatness”.
I am given to understand the Canadians make it pretty tough to emigrate.
I believe the first thing Biden should do is support limits on the Presidency by Congress. Executive orders, for example have been misused.
We have been through this. Reconstruction in the 1800’s did not run smoothly. My WAG is doing reconstruction in a more vindictive, thoughtless way would not yield better results.
It will take years to undo the damage of the present administration if Biden wins. Decades if there is a scenario like you propose. If Biden loses, all bets are off. I am looking for property in the mountains.
Freed slaves as policemen and running government, people eating grass did indeed, not go well. I beg your pardon, but I do not recall going through anything with you.
Dang, this place has some picky grammarians. I kind of meant the more general ‘we’. Like ‘We the people’, you know? But point taken.
I’ve an acquaintenance who just finished reading Day of the Rope, which is apparently another name for The Turner Diaries. His evaluation of the book is that it’s great. When I asked him why he thinks that, all he can do is state again that the book is great. There is no critical thinking whatsoever involved, not even a perfunctory attempt at literary analysis. No doubt you can determine the reason he likes the book.
The only people who buy into the usual “America is Ending” bullshit are racists and other assorted bigots.
Emigrate for Canadians would be a Canadian citizen leaving Canada. I do belive you mean immigrate.
First, those countries mostly have serious shortages of affordable housing, and rentals get gobbled up quickly by word of mouth, and you’re not going to be in that loop.
Second, one of the first rights you will lose is transferring money, especially out of the country. Trat’s already heavily eroded and fraught with snags.
Must be nice to have the option - most of us will be stuck here. Between increased barrier to immigration and the pandemic there will be no escape if things get seriously ugly.
I seriously looked into that about a decade ago - it’s not nearly as easy as people think it is. Unless you want to live as an illegal alien on the fringes of society, subject to deportation if discovered.
Pasty white, long term registered Republican no matter what my personal beliefs are, I can attempt to blend in with the MagaIdiots …
Not to mention reversing all those executive orders and apologizing to the rest of the world …
And someone one of my roomies knows is gradually adding $25-50 bucks a week to their normal withdrawls and socking it away, to be manually transported elsewhere in emergency. He says he has connections in various places that he can run to [and a good sailboat, so he can simply claim to be going out for a day sail, whatever. ]
Well, we are refilling our canned/dry goods stockpile from what was used over the pandemic. We are doing it by adding an extra $50 a week to the groceries - including toothpaste, various types of soaps, antiperspirant, cleaning supplies, toilet paper/kleenex/paper towels and such. Got plenty of ammo for hunting or self defense purposes, grabbed new fishing line for both rods =) Other than making sure that the house and vehicles are in good maintenance, and we have some spare parts and supplies [oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, oil and air filters, fuses] we are pretty good. Shifting stuff from the barn to the house, and shifting some stuff into storage so in a pinch we will bail out of the farm to the house in western NY.
We are too old to qualify for labor emmigration anywhere - mid to late 50s, and mrAru is basically diesel/marine mechanic with plumbing and construction experience and works in quality assurance roles, not really high on anybodies list [and he only has a retired enlisted military pension, around 1k a month, really not on the self supporting list, when you factor in my medical needs!]
WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!! Damned Left Wing EXTREMISTS are going to force us to recycle, treat oppressed minorities better, and pollute the environment less.
CRAZY TALK I TELL YOU¡¡!l
The likelihood the USA will not longer be a real democracy is a serious concern to me. It seems very likely now, and it affects me even though I’m Canadian. I am rearranging my retirement investments to get out of most American stocks and this will probably affects how I vote. I’m focusing my business efforts on clients who aren’t especially dependent on the American market. Obviously, visiting the USA isn’t even allowed right now, but that doesn’t matter.
I’m stocking up on basic supplies too.
Regrettably, the big things are not things I can personally control; Canada needs to significantly upgrade its defense and border control. Personally I’d be in favor of developing a nuclear weapons capability, but there’s no support for that.
I would strongly urge all my American friends here to please look into emigrating to Canada. It will be safer here, and we could use you, anyway. I acknowledge right now they might not even allow it but at some point I’m sure they will. Broomstick is correct in that it’s not an easy thing to do, legally speaking; all the more reason to start the process now. Don’t wait and end up in a refugee camp.
