At least you can be certain the Americans who are disgusted enough with their country to make the non-trivial effort of uprooting themselves are good folks, and they’ll be a net positive for whichever new society they choose to become part of.
redlemaceTrue. Side effect is probably that the usa sinks faster with each good person leaving. Still it’s hard to blame them for leaving.
They get what they voted for.
They voted as a country. The country as an entity wanted Trump and they got it.
Only the losers in any election starts itemizing. I get it: Trump is about as legit as Hitler in terms of absolute percentage of people who voted for him vs. the entire pool of potential electors.
But that’s not how it works: he won as per the rules of the elections, and now he’s become the country’s choice and its problem.
explodicleTo add: we’ve been voting on how our elections work since 2000. The problem was obvious then and we kept excusing candidates who support FPTP.
RainbowHedgehogOn some level, I agree.
On another, I think of that Canadian who was getting mad at protest voters. Because Canadian sovereignty is so much more sacred than Palestinian sovereignty. Because Canadian rage is so much more holy than Palestinian rage.
I think of that European who called protecting immigrants “a waste of time.” We’re on the brink of WW3! You can’t waste your time helping them! They’re not important!
I think of that person who wanted to call ICE on her Latino neighbor because “Latinos voted for Trump.” They deserve it. After all, so many of them are ICE agents!
I think of those anti-Trumpers who laughed at those Texan children who died in a storm. “They’re from Trump country, they’re just going to grow up to be racist anyways.”
Do children of Trumpers deserve to die? Do Latinos deserve this for falling for Trump’s lies? Do Canadians deserve their sovereignty threatened because they looked the other way for Palestine for 70 years when it benefitted them?
The reason I fight is because I feel that there is something worth fighting for. That people deserve salvation even when they’ve sinned. And I extend that to Europeans and Canadians as well. They refused to stop the US for Iraq and Gaza before and only bother to stand up now that they are personally affected. Do you believe they deserve to have the US turn on them for their sins?
