Should we plan to flee? Should we teach them more about world history and economics? Should we set up accounts that they can access overseas?

I obviously have no idea so help me out here!

Some of you have lost your damn minds.

Yep. Astounding that democrats are opposed to saving money, getting rid of waste and fraud, ensuring women compete in women’s sports, and working toward world peace.

I’m a woman and don’t care about women’s sports. This is literally not a problem. There are not enough trans players for it yo be an issue. My daughter has never encountered a trans athlete. Statistics are your friend, mouth breather.

We have OIGs in every agency who investigate waste, fraud, and abuse. They were fired because Musk and Trump will be the biggest fraud this country has ever seen!

You are a fraud and a smooth brained fool.

Were the OIG staff fired, or just the IG, OIG=Office of the Inspector General, IG=Inspector General

Whatever you might think about Trump, he does not have a track record of entangling us in endless wars. Quite the contrary actually. That’s why Nikki Haley gave it her all against him.

The world is crazy, so anything is possible though.

Trump literally said that he wants to send US troops to Gaza. What are you talking about?

Projecting power is not the same thing as engaging in war. Done in a measured way, the presence of troops could take the fun out of a lot of the barbarity that goes on there—October 7 and otherwise.

Sorry but no. America first.

Because they are clueless, they are superficially dazzled by the "we got rid of DEI and got transwomen out of sports" theatrics, completely oblivious to what's ACTUALLY going on.

There were over $160 Billion in fraudulent payments made in 2024. That’s almost as much as we’ve spent on Ukraine during the entire war. How is this system not rotten from the core. $160 Billion!!!

Ah, so THAT'S how Musk made all his money.

What else should I do? I am in a red state. Maybe I should enroll them in krav maga or show them how to use guns properly in case they ever need self defense.

Do I sound panicked? It is because I am!!

Also even if your daughter ever does come across trans athlete, they’re not nearly as harmful as what is going on in this administration.

Hmmm are girls better off not having reproductive rights nor a functioning government versus having an infinitesimal chance of sharing a sports field with a trans player.

sigh - nothing more emblematic of how dumb most americans are than this comment.

Umm where is that? Honestly asking? I love vacationing in west VA & Utah & Arizona & Pennsylvania and upstate and Oregon & live in the MW. People everywhere are upset about Elon musk- I’ve never heard so many people at gas stations, random interactions etc talk about politics in my life! It’s unseemly & weird. We need a viable third party - congress has literally accomplished nothing for American citizens since they passed the ada in the 90s.

Do you know anything about how to do this?
You don't just "apply for dual citizenship with another country" for your children.

Most, if not all, civilized 1st world countries have rigid citizenship eligibility requirements that include having multiple years of residency within the country already under your belt. We're discussing a complex concept with people that thought it was wise to elect Trump and Biden so this could take a while.

The ignorance and arrogance I'm seeing here is breathtaking. "I'm just gonna apply for dual citizenship! I have monies for invest!"

Nobody said that. You guys are arguing with a concept that only exists in your own mind. Many countries offer citizenship if you can prove close family heritage OR you can also buy a citizenship with enough money.

You cannot "buy a citizenship" anywhere. Yes, there are ways to live in another country if you have enough money. But many of them, Portugal for example, are changing their rules because Americans have abused them. And countries do not "offer citizenship" based on heritage. You still must apply for it.

Like I said, ignorance and arrogance. As American as apple pie.

Maybe man up?

Our fathers and grandfathers had to do this. This generation is soft.

They were fighting the Nazis. What would this generation be fighting for?

We'd be fighting the new nazis or do they prefer psycho red hats

To the woman who has decided not to have children in light of the past two weeks, I urge you to get some mental health support. Things might feel out of control at the moment, but you are planning to alter the course of your life, deprive yourself of having children (that you want, apparently) and wallow in self-pity for the rest of your life because Donald Trump was elected president?

Of all the unhinged things I have read on this thread, this takes the cake. And it's emblematic of the insidious victim mentality of the left. Don't let four years of a president you don't agree with waste your one, precious opportunity to have children. Eggs expire, you know? Can you imagine looking back on your life and realizing you didn't have CHILDREN because of some blip on the political radar?

Your contempt for normal people really is exhausting. Nobody cares about your Wellesley [or equivalent] degree or your overpriced and useless graduate degree from George Washington [or equivalent]. None of those make you superior. In fact, its the other way around.

Meanwhile, men and women in fly over country really do know "what is ACTUALLY going on" and are not engaging in constant histrionics over all this. Some of them are even brain surgeons. Imagine that.

Oh really? You e spoken to them all? This is such patronizing bullshit. I have family in normal America, they are all conservatives, and they are all deeply unsettled by what's going on. What's actually offensive is your attitude that middle America is too stupid to see what's happening under their noses. Yes people care. You don't have to have gone to Wellesley to see that.

The UN places troops in places of conflict to keep the peace too. But I guess bad Orange Man suggests it and it’s the end of the world, huh? Just like the stock market crash that never happened this week because of those “CRAZY” tariffs…

You know the more you go ballistic about every single thing this guy says the less people take you seriously.

The market DID crash until the tariffs were taken away.

Goddamn you guys are so freakin clueless. Just google or look at some facts before you spout off.

The worst and most immediate threat to our children is climate change. We see the effects already with so much extreme weather, weather related disasters, and decreased food growth. The government denying and ignoring will not make the problem go away. In fact, it will continue to get worse each year. There isn't enough aid to go around to bail everyone out. Our children will be struggling for food and for water. The ones who are more wealthy will survive longer.

T shutting down climate research and scientific innovation will lead to a significant reduction in the human population, starting with non-billionaire MAGA areas first. Facts. T and Musk will be fine with all the money they've amassed from you.

So, when (within the next few years) your children don't have food, water, or medicines, at least you can tell them you saved them a very small chance of ever having a transgender teammate.

Priorities!
