Election results and life plans
a year ago
General
So, woke up to a relatively dark situation, not just the election but in my personal life. Something I will not get in detail to the outright public here. Things are ok! But things definitely went dark.
And Donald Trump won the election. The Maga party won the house and the senate. They have a trifecta to do whatever they will in my country. My country, seemingly full of fascists, monarchists, and most of all useful idiots just voted in the man who said he was gonna destroy the social net, plunge us into a depression, and wreck our liberties.
I am saddened to the say the least. But tomorrow is still here anyways. I have slowly built up money over the past few months, about 3000 dollars, and I think it's time I put that to use. I am gonna get myself a CELTA certification and I am gonna leave the country. It's been a long debate between that or moving to Michigan, I think this settles that.
So how is this gonna impact the comics?
I don't know, the CELTA is a full time commitment, 40 hours a week, and I would likely be doing that in conjunction with my job once it starts so I can build up the cash needed to leave as soon as I can. That said for now things will continue on the usual schedule as for now I still need to put that 3000 down, take the course, receive the certification and everything. But once that whole thing starts up, my free time is going to be lower than ever before. It's gonna be like working two jobs, so at least for a month or two the comic may have to stop.
But frankly, I think it's time to leave the US, many of my family members are focusing on the same thing and/or are trying to convince those that aren't. Things are likely to get real dark here real fast.
I will keep you folks updated. But in short, I think it's time to leave. Perhaps it's been time to leave but I think this is the wake up call to not take things slow. I have never really been financially stable at all in my life, 3000 dollars is the most I've ever really spent in one place, even more than my car. But things have to move fast or that may be it.
Be well, Be safe, and move decisively

It's a very dark state of things right now
Congratulations on helping a group win that would merrily classify you as a second-class citizen or sub-human for being a furry.
With all due respect, reap what you sow, and may the surprise of the scythe's bite be carried with you forever.

2) If you think the party that has advocated for the largest mass deportation in history (In the same structure to the Armenian Genocide), that has said immigrants eat cats and dogs, a president who has threatened to call the military on the enemy within, and who has advocated for such a mass rollback of rights repeatedly and over months is not fascist. You are beyond help.
If the republicans of today truly can call back to the party of lincoln, that died long ago. They are closer to the democrats of the 19th century than any other platform I've seen my whole life.
3) If you think his policies on Tariffs and the gutting of social welfare and medicare is going to help our economy, ask me in 2-3 years. Every economist has said it won't help. It will make our issues of inflation worse.
I am not gonna say Kamala was the best option, nor that Biden was the best president ever. They weren't. Biden is at best a lame duck. But if you think letting Trump back in will fix anything when it's those conditions in the 2016-2020 term that set up the crisis we are feeling now? I am not gonna say anything to change your mind.
At this point you're too far lost in the sauce. Even when things go south in this presidency, you will blame it on the liberals who have absolutely no power at this point. You're similar to a lot of my friends who have turned increasingly to white supremecy and to MAGA.
You're no patriot, you're just another Maga head.
Good luck on your own long hike ya. Take care and safe travels.
I’ll announce when I go dark if I have to
I guess sadly for some people they prefer to fuck around and find out rather than just listen to what the man and his supporters have said
In any case good on you and I wish you well
