As much of a joke as it is, that’s a real option for me. Won’t pull the trigger on day one, but you bet your ass I’ll be ready to go at a moments notice.

Oh yeah because it’s that easy to just pack up and move to a country that doesn’t want you.

Statistically, most people who pop off about moving to Canada won’t have an easy time of it, but the two countries do share one of the world’s longest land borders and have countless economic and cultural ties. There are undoubtedly thousands of people in the US who have citizenship or eligibility for work permits, along with some financial means.

Exactly. I would’ve left this country years ago if it was that simple. I can’t afford to vacation in Canada, let alone move there, and I live in a northern state.

I will have no issue imegrating, I have “an in” as well as a place to live already.

The border is only a 20 minute drive anyway.

The “doesn’t want me” statement seems like your personal opinion, not objective reality.

There are currently only 8 or 9 “move to Canada” comments; you’ll need more before the number of shots is sure to kill you.

It’s completely understandable! I wouldn’t want to be in the US either if I were American and Canada seem pretty chill in comparison.

The only problem I have with moving is, I have this feeling you can’t escape politics by doing that. The problem is social media dividing everyone and pushing extremism. Surely that is everywhere?

If Trump wins, he’s not stepping down after 4 years. He (and his kind) are staying in power for good.

Surprisingly well, given that his incompetent failed coup landed him fuck-all for punishment.

When we look at other countries that have had successful coups overturn their governments, the most common indicator among them is a previous unsuccessful coup plot.

Sure. I’ll believe it when I see it. Please can you try being more dramatic next time?

Watch Democrats blame people they were actively hostile towards for not enthusiastically waiting for hours in the cold to vote for them.

Then watch the world’s longest-running uninterrupted democracy with the world’s largest military and the world’s largest nuclear arsenal become a fascist dictatorship. Maybe I’ll die quickly and have a chance to be envied.

Fix your messaging, Dems. Pretend he’s a progressive and oppose him.

Honestly, just point to his examples of government overreach! Heck if Dems really wanted to hurt him, do some overreach that they want to do anyway and make sure that they thank the man, heck say without him this would be impossible and that if we don’t take advantage of it someone else will!

Just go hard on red flag laws, just use those bad boys up on all of their opponents, and say “Trump was awful for a lot of things, but thank god he got some of the strongest anti gun laws on the books in decades, without him, we couldn’t have gone after this dangerous far right militia, he really made this inevitable.”
