Far easier said than done.

This is never true I remember it back to people saying it about Bush.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (4 children)

What isn't true, specifically? I'm curious to hear what you think is "never true."

Do you think Bush helped democracy? May I remind you of the Patriot Act? Guantanamo? Black sites and kidnapping?

You seem oblivious to what Trump and crew were up to during the first go round and what the GOP has planned for 2025.

My hope is that we can get Canada to adopt Minnesota.

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago

We'd prefer California. We already have enough Minnesota, donchaknow.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

No they're not

Moving closer to Canada was not unintentional for me. We got our whole family passports after Biden won, I knew it was only a reprieve. All that said, we can't afford to move again, if it happens we'll be fleeing as refugees.

I'm definitely planning to get out if Trump somehow manages to win the electoral college.

I happen to also have an EU citizenship. Seems to be many reasons to leave either way.

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (3 children)

If I had the means to leave I'd already be gone.
It seriously makes me wonder though, if Trump starts executing minorities and Democratic party members en masse, what are the odds that any country would give asylum to Americans?
Probably pretty slim

Lol no we are not.

I'm not clicking on the garbage yahoo link. But what random ass tweet did they source this BS from?

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Business Insider

[–] rab@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago (5 children)

I'd trade my Canadian passport for an American one if anyone is interested
