4 more years of this BS, here we go.
"The Lame Prelude to Project 2025" or "You can fit so much sexism and racism in this country"
From the last thread:
RFK getting "wild on health" will impact you yeah? GF and I were discussing that this morning. What are doctors who follow scientific advancements and evidence going to do when RFK says no more vaccines or demonizes and bans known safe treatments that doctors and patients both rely on? Are we going to see a sort of medical/scientific rebellion, or will you all have to fall in line? I'm honestly clueless on the effect of administrations and policies on doctors.
Anyway continuing the expat fantasies from the last thread.
I had a great time in Amsterdam last month. And all the music I like is from over there. I don't think I could ever properly learn Dutch but everyone spoke english there
I enjoyed when I could mostly ignore what the President was doing. I guess that's also a knock on Dems, keep things too smooth and people forget who the driver is.
I will say, anyone thinking about Canada should maybe think about somewhere else. The tariffs Trump has proposed are going to fuck us royally and in the Fall we're going to fuck ourselves just as hard by electing Trump Jr.
There's no way I could leave the country. Nowhere near enough money and zero transferable career skills or viable education.
It's a ridiculous position to be in. I do plan to move somewhere better at the end of next year but the concept that I need to go through an enormous life upheaval and likely reduce my QoL by a significant amount just to avoid this stuff (as much as possible) is horribly depressing.
I'm all aboard the west coast train. I am fucking done with the south.
For the slave labor in California?
If the thread isn't some flavor of monarchy/king trump/regency/etc I'll be sorely disappointed. Even more than I already am.
I'm good on that, I'll vote against that shit when it comes my way.
I would prefer to piss where I choose and go outside without concerns of being ran over or shot by some racist transphobic fuck in his lifted Ford.
I've been watching troppo on Amazon for the past few weeks and the fantasy of potentially living in Australia seems really enjoyable to me
My concern is it could be exactly that, a fantasy. The idea of uprooting is fucking scary but so is existing here now soo..
Let's go gambling!
Early Post-Mordems are coming in and by far the biggest red flag so far seems to be that Harris has almost 15 million less votes than Biden got in 2020, whereas Trump remained the same. So...almost 1 in 5 people that wanted Biden didn't want Kamala to the point they didn't even vote for anybody. The Both Sides(tm) people won this election. Something tells me they aren't going to be any happier in the next 4 years, though.
Dems have gotta change but I just have no idea what. The whole point of politics is you give and take, but it really feels like present days media is just this entire machine that massively highlights anything the Dems give and bury anything they get. Meanwhile republicans just do the same old thing and get massively rewarded for it every other election, no matter how bad they do. They've cracked the code.
Hate to doom post, but it really feels like the modern liberal movement is dead. The entire next generation is just going to be spent clawing back rights that were gimmes for the last generation and learning about new and exciting rights we get to lose!
