@sinvega You're in the UK, as I recall, which seems to also be speedrunning fascism and collapse, sadly

@Njord yeah that's what I meant. Although I dunno, this has been coming since the 80s really

@sinvega That makes sense. From what I know, Thatcher was pretty much equivalent to Reagan

@Njord If I were still young and healthy, I would seriously consider leaving the USA. But I'm in my late 60s, retired on Social Security, living with chronic pain issues, in one of the more sturdily blue and queer-affirming states, in which I scored a spot in an affordable housing co-op. So since my age, health, and finances make it highly unlikely that another nation would take me as an emigre, I guess I'm staying and fighting the fash to the best of my admittedly limited ability in one of the less risky places to do so.

@Njord trans & staying. I don't have much of a choice, as both my partner and I have jobs that are highly geographically tied due to licensure and structural constraints on our fields. Add in the kids, and relocating would be very, very difficult.
