Okay, what is trump doing that’s got the whole com shivering in their Timbers? Like, I don’t wanna be rude or insensitive, because I genuinely don’t know whats going on (I’m really not into politics), but what the hell is happening that I’m unaware of?

Two many things to list, so just Google Project 2024 or watch YouTube videos about it. David Packman and The Young Turks are good sources. Stephen Colbert's Late Show if it's too much to take in without a bit of sardonic humour.

I like humor, even if it’s a serious topic, so I might check him out as well.
Thank you!

There's also John Oliver's Last Week Tonight and Jon Stewart's Daily Show.

Holy shit. You’re right, Project 2025… I mean, I don’t even know what to say, man.

I have only one thing to say; make an evacuation plan and make it fast. You have two months. Keep a cool head and stay safe.

I’ve got forever, really. I’ve never even told anyone irl I’m Bi, so I think secrecy should work for now. Though I had considered it! I appreciate your concern <3

One; you're online presence can be traced. The U.S. government already keeps tabs on everyone at all time. 2, it won't matter whether they know or not. The MAGA mob are gonna by coming for EVERYONE, even each other.

Oh shit, the U.S. is aboutta become the Purge!
Wait, I’m using incognito, does that count?

Oh god im cooked

America is a sinking ship. Get to the nearest lifeboat, and by that I mean a country that hasn't gone down the drain.

Tbh the U.S. has kinda been shit for a while now.
Like… everything kinda sucks here. Except the food trucks, sometimes

As a Canadian who's been following U.S. culture and politics most of my adult life...I've noticed. At least here we have universal healthcare and no freaking "electoral college" (meaning in Canada, EVERY vote actually counts. Such was never the case in America.)

Also we have plenty of food trucks too. You'll find we have a lot of the same greasy highly-processed guilty snacks as the U.S. does. Plus some that it doesn't, like Poutine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine

I just think they’re neat :3
And half the time pretty good

Well as I said, we have them here too. I'm not big on them because I don't like eating outside (seeing bugs trying to land on my food makes me jump) but hey, they're popular.

Omg yes bugs are the freaking worst dude!
Except for bees, I like bees

Ooof, bees are one of my phobias...along with wasps, hornets, yellowjackets and ladybugs.

Ladybugs? The others I can completely understand, but ladybugs?

Some of them spray like skunks, and some invasive species from Asia actually bite.

Really? Lemme look this up rq

Dang that’s crazy
Nature really just creates stuff for fun sometimes, huh

It creates things that are successful at surviving, and that includes defense mechanisms against predators.

Fair enough!
Also, I feel like clogging up your comment section, would you like to take it to DM’s and keep chatting?
That way it won’t get too off track here.

Eh, I don't mind. Long comment chains makes it look like I'm more popular than I really am. :P

Plus this contains information that might be good to know for a lot of other people too. On that note, spreading the word about the concerns we discussed here might not be a bad idea.

I see, I see! In that case, is there anything else I should know about the, I’ll call it, aftermath of this election?

As I said, there are political analyst channels who can explain everything better than me.

Here are a couple to get you started:

No, Incognito doesn't count. Federal surveillance bypasses all VPNs and security software. Plus that won't help when they start coming door-to-door with rifles like it's 1930.

I guess I’m fucked then.

Only if you stay. Like I said, you need an escape plan. Find refuge in a country that still has a stable democracy and basic human rights, then research how you can get there and seek a fresh start.

If it comes down to it, I definitely will!

The longer you put it off the harder it will be to get out. Start looking into your options ASAP.

Alright

I wish you luck.

Help my phone screen is pushing the comments out of the window and I can’t reply XD

I don't use a smart phone so I don't know how to help with that.

New thread is pretty much the only way tbh
Or I’d need a bigger screen idk

I'll repost the links to the YouTube channels I recommended.

Thank you!

No problem.

I’m scared. How can I get to Canada when there are too many obstacles in immigration. I don’t really know too many people there/ I don’t have stable income/ my family too old to leave usa

Start researching and start a GoFundMe if you have to. Canada is bracing for a wave of refugees like it's never seen before, and so is Europe. Reach out to as many people as you can and starting putting together a plan.

Thanks… I will put together a plan though I don’t know really anyone to talk to

Also hopefully Canada doesn’t go fascist too if Trudeau loses

Trudeau has already had the job for 9 years so he's past his best-before date, and Pierre Poilievre (the current Conservative leader) is drawing right from Trump's playbook. But unlike the U.S., we have a third and much better option; the NDP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Democratic_Party

I ALWAYS vote NDP out of principle, even if they've yet to win an election federally. But in our system, the more seats in the House the NDP can get, the more they can hold back the nonsense from the other big two parties.

your making it sound as if everywhere in the US is dangerous but Canada
