  Well, why don’t the 250 million Americans who didn’t vote for trump just also move to Canada???

    Well at least you can exclude roughly 81 million eligible non voters. Fuck em.

    Would be nice but you can’t simply move to any other country you want. Other countries have enacted similar stupid immigration laws just like the US. There isn’t a single country where US citizens can just move (except the US of course). It’s like a curse. The orange in the WH would need to do something really f’ed for other countries to accept american asylum applications.

      It’s great when people on your side of the border hate you because you support human rights, and people on the other side of the border hate you because of where you were born and lived untill recently.

      Also simultaneously being told “you should just leave your shit hole country” from one group of people and also “you should stay and fix your own stupid country before you try and ruin others”

      Basically “fuck you for existing, now go die quietly so we can get on with our lives”

      And don’t even get me started on any sort of minority group and how shitty they have it here. Can’t even walk to the corner store without looking over their shoulder for ICE or some other thug law enforcement.

      Slight exception, there is Svalbard I believe which has no visas required to live there. It is frozen though.

    Someone once told me to just apply to be a refugee and move to Canada, as a response to complaining about trump supporters in my area. They weren’t even a trump supporter themselves. Bruh, I doubt Canada wants my disabled and out of work ass, even if it was just that simple.

      No, they dont,
      just like how the US doesn’t want the dumbshit “my way or the highway” western canadian separatists.

      immigration is difficult, you’ve got to be extremely rich, smart and highly skilled in a marketable and demanded field, or lucky.

      most people are none of these things

      You can’t apply for refugee status from the US to Canada anyway

        You don’t need refugee status to move somewhere tho. In the case of Canada you mostly just need to prove you can support yourself, and pass an English or French proficiency test.

    They could just take a few weeks off of work all at once and watch the government come to its knees.
