Do you think an Exit Ban could actually happen?

It's sad. If the posts on this board are real, then most of the people here need real mental help. Simply delusional.

Seriously. These people are insane.

OP here.

How is talking about something insane? I am not panicked. No one here is panicking. I care deeply for this country and am curious about its direction and my family's safety in it.

My family have citizenship in another country but that doesn't make it easy to leave. We have good savings. But we also have kids in school, professional licenses that aren't recognized in other countries, aging parents, etc. So, I don't think it's at all insane to consider how things may force our cards anyway.

Much of what people were mocked for worrying about has become reality. A year ago I wasn't expecting masked militias in cities, throwing people in concentration camps and joking about alligators eating them. THAT is insane.

Your entire last paragraph is delusional.

A delusion is a strongly held belief that is false and remains unchanged despite clear evidence to the contrary.

ICE is in fact wearing masks and terrorizing cities.

A camp where persons are confined, usually without hearings and typically under harsh conditions, often as a result of their membership in a group the government has identified as suspect. What is Alligator Alcatraz if not that?

Before a visit to the immigrant detention facility in the Everglades, Trump told reporters that snakes and alligators would attack anyone trying to get out. During the tour, he made another joke about “a lot of cops that are in the form of alligators” at the facility.

It was common during Jim Crow to refer to Black people and children as alligator bait. There is a long history of terrorizing people of color in this way.

YOU are the delusional one.

If you meant ICE, you should have said so. Instead, you are babbling about militia and terrorism. And you're afraid of jokes?

Seriously, seek help.

But wouldn’t the motivation to keep people in— in particular working people— be to maintain not only a country’s economy, money flowing, produces being made, but a large tax base? No citizens, no taxes being paid.

That said, didn’t Cuba permit dissidents to leave at some point?

the USA is one of the only countries that taxes foreign income and income when you are abroad. Ask any ex pat- it is SO SO frustrating.

I dont think an exit ban will come but they might make it very difficult for people to move money outside of the USA, I think they might actually want people to work as ex pats or maybe I hope this. There are so many american of color and it will be so difficult to strip them citizenship, it might be a win win if we all were encouraged to become ex pats- so didn't live one the USA but still paid our upper middle class taxes. they'd get our money but no mosques/temples/ religious days off in school etc... no women in weird clothes who don't automatically defer to male colleagues... or bring funky food to the lunchroom/school intl night.

I mean you can always just renounce your US citizenship and avoid the double taxation.

god -what a white comment- eye roll- you know there are a LOT of Americans of color who fled here b/c they were gay, the wrong religion fro their country (like a LOT) wrong political persuasion etc and Bahai people from Iran, Uighars from china, Ahmadi from anywhere in the islamic world, Druze, yazidiis, Hazara from Afghanistan, christians from palestine-, Kurds from Türkiye, Jews from Iran- we can't just go back "home" the US passport is what our parents gambled on.

Why do you think your arrogance and self-entitlement is going to win you any friends? If’s not.

Yes. He should have left first and then notified "to whom it may concern" of his departure.

This trick was used repeatedly on right-wing influencers for years. Wonder if he’ll be debanked too…

Please provide any backup that shows a rightwing influencer was denied boarding at the gate. Or had their passport revoked. Or any other such nonsense.

It’s in the article if you were able to read it.
I don’t consider him a righteous influencer, he’s a scholar.

I just reread the article and still did not see any discussion on rightwing influencers being denied boarding.

But Newt Gingrich says America is exceptional so why wouldn’t this be possible?

Despite how insane this all is, that feels far fetched to me, but I also have no proximity to the government/how things work, so who am I really to know. Curious as to what you may think.

You should DEFINITELY get out right now, ahead of the panic and crowds. Go somewhere - anywhere - else. And don’t come back. Forget the US even exists.

What an odd thing to say about a joke that’s been relevant in popular comedic discourse for 90+ years.

Just curious - do you have a post-secondary education? Did you have any further schooling after high school? If so, where? And to what extent?
