  I’m an American citizen and I got out. Absolutely zero regrets. Apparently it’s rapidly becoming increasingly common

    Please return.

    Or at the very least, stop being American.

  No-one is safe.

  Not until we make the police and ICE agents feel unsafe.

  No, we don’t want American citizens anywhere else in the world, leave them in their containment nation.

  They chose, overwhelmingly, the circumstances that they’re in.

    Dude, fuck you. I didn’t choose this shit anymore than you did.

      Inaction is a choice

    They did not choose overwhelmingly. ~30% chose. And even then, trump did not win the majority of the vote.

      a third of the country voted for this, another third decided not to vote and thus allowed this.

        That is true.

      I’d say 30% are all for what’s happening and 10% are convinced the dems will put babies into to blenders and will always vote red. The remaining 10% switch their vote back and forth depending on how they feel about the economy. If they think it’s good the will vote for the incumbent, if they think it’s bad they vote for the other canidate. Then there are 2-3% of people that pick a random issue as their focus every year

    Many of us are looking on in horror of what is happening. There is nothing we can do, lest we too be jailed, or worse, killed by the gestapo. Just waiting for them to come for me next. I really need to get a passport.

    Just giving a bit of perspective. Fuck the United States.

    I guess us LGBTQ and black/brown Americans should just put a bullet in our heads right now, then.

    Upvoted bc “containment nation” made me lol. I get the downvotes though, liberalism has been eroding our rights and our will to rebel for a couple of generations now.

    It’s true but they hate you for it. The US is lost for the next few decades.

  We can take a few american refugees, but we should limit it to the same measly numbers that the US has been accepting. That would be 50 000 per year.

  Over a few millenia we could probably provide refuge for the vulnerable populations in the USA.

    Americans hardly qualify as “refugees”, please don’t insult those who are.

      Not yet. Not most of them.
