But, if you wear a tinfoil hat and assume there will be no further elections in the U.S. ever, you'll be patting yourself on the back.

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.

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"

Oh just piss off, you wannabe limey.

Hahaha Yates, famously Irish? Limey means British. They...don't like each other. You are learning so much today!

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.

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.

Why do MAGA think they’re so tough when the cede all thinking and power and economic vitality to a king? It’s literally the definition of a cuck.

Tread on me daddy Trump!

What are you trying to say? No one identified as MAGA. Do you think MAGA tends to debate Irish poets and Nigerian novelists? You have a higher opinion of them than I do.

Nazis and fascists are literally taking over right now. There is no more constitution. How much more do you need?

This.
If we had the financial means to leave we would.
If we were in our twenties we would leave.

We are older and poorer, so will stay and fight.

Fight? Hahaha. How, exactly? By frantically posting Nazi screeds on DCUM? Do tell what your "fight" entails!

You don't seem to have very good reading comprehensions skills. That pretty much screams MAGA.

I dunno. Our ancestors have been here a long time - me, from 1736 and him from 1800 so, the entire family is here. We have no legacy citizenship to claim anywhere.
We have the financial means. We're about ready to retire so don't need jobs. Thing is, all our adult children are here and we're expecting our first grandchild.
We also own land in an extremely remote place in the US where we could hunt and fish for ourselves and no one would find us.
We'll see

I plan to stay.

If I had kids under 18 I would leave.

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?

Not to mention that the people who do have some power are doing nothing, e.g. Congress people. They are obviously hamstrung by something. What can average people going to do if the reps can’t do anything.

Fear of Jail time or investigation. If any of our politicians come out and call this a coup or authoritarianism, organize a serious protest, the DOJ and the FBI are going to be deep down their throats.

I guess we need a Navalny-like figure to go against the regime. It would have to be someone willing to spend time in jail, possibly deal with torture and abuse, and maybe get killed in the end. But it might create a rallying point for some.

Ellen Degeneres left for the UK she said because of Trump but I think because her name was mention a lot on the P Diddy case.

Stay. Let them go to school where they want to. Take deep breaths. Relax. It'll all be fine. The worst which will happen is you'll pay less tax for a few years.
