Would you really leave America if Trump/Musk are scaring you?

My European family live in the U.S. and Australia. Not sure how you think Australia is open to immigrants. The illegals are shipped off to an island with well-documented abuse and the legal are not treated very well. We are white so fared much better but Australia is well-known for being racist.

Thank you, PP. I spent three months in Australia and found it one of the most racist places in the world. I’ve visited 97 countries so that is my comparison. The way they ship immigrants to Nauru is awful. They even had a deal to send some immigrants to the US. Look it up. While you’re researching, look at the appalling treatment towards the indigenous there. It’s a stark difference from how the Māori are treated in New Zealand. NZ is a far nicer country.

I mean it was literally a colony for prisoners. Europe wasn't exactly sending its best and brightest to Australia.

The only thing that will rile up most privileged Americans will be when they come after your SSRIs.

You do know that most privileged Americans are scared of this administration and horrified by Trump. That’s why we are thinking of fleeing our own country. The tone deafness it would take to come on to this thread and say Americans don’t care…. Just wow.

The PP is right. Most Americans don’t care. And maybe privileged Americans like you should use your privilege to do something instead of running away.

NP. If I was a billionaire I’d use my $$ to run anti-trump and Elon ads. I’m privileged, but can’t afford that and compete with the oligarchs, so I’ll run away.

So because you're not a billionaire, you're going to run away and leave the least privileged Americans to suffer?

As opposed to doing what?

+1

What do you expect the PP to do?

How can any individual fight the massive number of idiots who believe the relentless flow of misinformation?

I don't know, maybe not just bail?
What makes you think other countries want to take in selfish cowards?

I know, you'll say it's not your fault and you'll be welcome anywhere because you have money, and you don't care even if you're not welcome because your family blah blah....and that is precisely why Americans are so despised around in the world and why the country was so susceptible to this in the first place.

I’m not going anywhere.

But PP is very welcome to relocate. They are in no way responsible for this sht show. Stop shifting blame.

This is 100% on the idiot MAGAs.

Which scenario seems the more likely?

My grandparents lived through WWII in Europe. My grandfather was an RAF pilot. My father fled a dictatorship in a once prosperous and peaceful nation. "Things fall apart, the system cannot hold". There is nothing magical about the US that will keep us from falling into this. No one is coming to save us.

The quote is “things fall apart, the center cannot hold.” It’s from The Second Coming by Yeats.

And the US got the religious nutters and greedy colonizers.

True enough. Though they are seen as similar, I found them vastly different places. I find NZ a vastly preferable place to be. I will say the food in Australia is better.

I was paraphrasing and actually referencing the novel by Chinua Achebe which is about a breakdown of a political system. Hope this helps!

Not really. Achebe used the famous line from Yeats’ poem for his title. The way you wrote it implied it was the quote, which it most certainly isn’t.

He used the first part of the line as the title. I specifically wrote system because the political system is what we're talking about. Anyway glad you got to be pedantic on the internet today! "And say my glory was I had such friends"

Nope, well aware and recently spent a month in County Sligo which is Yeats country. The PP said she wanted to immigrate to the UK as her grandparents were from the UK. She is a wannabe limey.

I think the selfish cowards — the elected GOP officials who vowed to serve the constitution and the people — are staying.

Also it’s Yeats, not Yates. Seems like you’re on a roll. Please do leave for the UK. Bland food and terrible weather likely suit you. I always laugh when I see the little UK cars driving around near where I live with huge UK sticker on the back. You’ll fit right in with that dowdy lot.

My grandparents were from the UK you are correct! As is my mother and her entire family, all of which still lives there. I have a British passport and spent a great deal of my childhood in the UK. None of that matters though because I'm not planning on immigrating anywhere much less to the UK and never wrote that.
