Imagine you live in the US and you have dual citizenship: American/Canadian. You have a job that allows travel. Considering the Christofascism that’s coming…

  • When would you move to Canada?

  • If you stayed in the US - when might you realize you waited far too long and you had a “Oh, fuck - I’m the frog” moment?

I want to stay in the US and I live in a super-blue county in a blue state. But I don’t want to become the frog. I have such dual citizenship and moving is doable for me provided I plan as far ahead as possible. I don’t expect Canada to be nirvana but I fear the worst for the US.

Leave America immediately. Today if possible. Then work on finding a job in the eu or ideally china, bc Canada is only 1% more civilized than the US

Death to America

1.) Now

2.) We’ve already waited too long. The Sword of Damocles could fall any minute. We’re in pure chaos theory territory and there’s no way of telling what happens next.

If I could have left by now, I would have. I just don’t see how I can get through immigration. For a specific date, probably when Bush pushed hard on anti-gay policy and won in 2004.

I already feel that way. I’m queer and in the south. I saw Thomas’ opinion. They’re coming after gay marriage and sodomy. Maybe not this year or next, but they’re coming and the Dems won’t stop them. At minimum, I have to move to a different state. I can’t in good conscience put down long-term roots in a place that will absolutely outlaw those things the first chance they get. Even then, it’s really just hoping that there’s enough resistance to the GOP to keep them from enacting federal bans on them all.
