Comment on YSK the Venezuelans community in the US is not representative of Venezuelans as a whole.

Thank you for providing backup.

“only 33% of naturalized citizens from Venezuela have a go bag packed” is not the support you think it is.

Why did you downvote me? I wasn’t being sarcastic. I was agreeing with you.
But anyway. This was fun.
One last question, what is a “go bag packet”?
smh@slrpnk.net 3 days ago
A “go bag” is a bag you have for when you need to leave (“go”) in a hurry. For example, you might have a change of clothes, cash, hygiene items, your passport(s), snacks, a week’s worth of prescription meds, first aid kit.
My friend has one because he’s an immigrant and doesn’t feel secure in the current political environment. I have one because I’m trans and I don’t feel secure in the current political environment.
I downvoted you because it felt skeevy to be told I was providing backup to you, when I didn’t feel my data was particularly supportive. It felt like you putting words in my mouth.
