How long until Americans realize, and start to flee to Canada and Mexico. I'd advice those countries to prepare for millions of US refugees. Don't forget to include a bible and a gun in every care package to make them feel at home. Trump takes care of the immigration problem by making the US the worst place to be.
Way ahead of you. We left for the UK on inauguration day. Now I just need to get a job.
From all the European countries, you didn't pick a good one mate xD the UK is a mess
I got to pick one where I can legally live, and one that isn't going to force my daughter into a conversion therapy camp for being gay, which is what I am concerned with at the moment.
I'm not super full of national pride, but its not exactly a hell hole and on the plus side we've recently elected a party on the left while a good chunk of the other major European powers are shifting to the right. Need to get on top of this Reform nonsense, but I'm not seeing anyone rounding up LGBTQ folk.
Agreed. And every kid my daughter has met and talked to has been very much accepting. Unlike a lot of American kids.
Very generous description of Starmer's Labour!
There's some nationalisation going on, which is kinda left. Just isn't Corbyn's Labour, that's all.
They haven't banned conversion therapy either
Okay, where do you suggest I should have gone when I'm only a citizen of the US and the UK?
Let's hear your plan.
Nice to have you over here. May i ask what sort of job are you looking for?
Thank you. I have decades of experience in audio video production and post production with a very impressive CV which hasn't helped much yet, sadly.
How long was the process?
For me, six weeks to get a passport because I have citizenship rights. For my daughter (and wife still in the U.S.), it involves me finding a job that pays more than £28,000 a year.
What if you were working remotely? Would that have counted?
I think so. As far as I understand, I just have to be in the country and prove I make at least that much a year or have that much in savings. But fully remote jobs are even harder to get.
Yeah I have a buddy doing remote tv editing gigs who is not in NY or CA. It has been very difficult since the easy money dried up.
I'm not running.
They're the ones who suck. Make them leave.
As one of the blue states, we’re not getting directly hit yet. Our leaders are strong and I’m a confident we can hold out, like a beacon of hope, for the next four years. We can rebuild. We have the technology. We can make it better than it was. Better, stronger, faster.
If only it weren't so difficult and expensive to get in.
Have you considered baing an illegal imigrant?
That's half our plans right?
Resist and throw monkey wrenches as long as possible then gtfo and "overstay" your visa at the last moment. Obviously this is more difficult for some of us and some should plan an exit sooner, everyone needs to focus on their own threat model and plan accordingly.
Be an accomplice, not an ally.
Hmm, perhaps not with the necessary enthusiasm...🤔
You're getting mixed up. The ones fleeing would not be the ones with the bibles and guns--those are who they would be fleeing from.
The loonies will flee too when they find out what they voted for.
I'm currently in the process of relocating to Canada via my job, know many others who are as well.
Some people are fleeing. The RCMP has been detaining a lot of people who have fled or are helping to move people out of the US.
Source?

Thanks. But are these people fleeing into Canada due to the Trump regime, or are they just smugglers / criminals? It says nothing about the motive. There are also people entering Canada to buy their meds there, smuggling them back to the US.
PS, in my head I'm reading it like a canadian from south park, adding "eh", "buddy", "friend", "pall" at the end of every sentence. Childish, I know, but oh so funny hehe.
Fleeing to canada could mean in the future to flee to a 51st usa state, hopefully this will never happen…
It would be the biggest state. I doubt Canada has a republican majority, so for Republicans this would mean a nightmare. Never elected again. Not that elections will be an issue when Trump manages to sit until death, like his buddy Putin, and Xi.
Narcisstic Buffoon Trump says he going to take over Canada so that he gets your attention for that one particular day.
Narcisstic Buffoon Trump says he going to take over Greenland so that he gets your attention for that one particular day.
Narcisstic Buffoon Trump says he going to take over Gaza so that he gets your attention for that one particular day.
Unless and until you hear news about actual US troops landing in Canada, Greenland, or Gaza, don't give Traitorapist Trump any attention at all for that crap. If he actually did any of that, he would have to pay a significant price. He is not saying anything important, so you are safe to go about your life.
I don't agree. I agree with him trying to get your attention, but I think it's because he doesn't want your attention at the stuff he's actually doing. Plastic straws? Rly? Better double check whatever else he's doing. He's constantly distracting everyone with some weird bs to hide his malpractice. No one cares about some simple executive orders when he's threatening to invade Canada, everyone will write about some stupid placric straws instead of some boring stuff which actually is harmful AF.
Oh that's just the rhetoric. It'll never be a State. That would give it protection from the corporations. It'll be a territory with federal laws forcing them to allow corporations to mine and log anything the corporations desire.
Imagine fleeing ro a county whose people have beed called drug dealer criminal rapists by the president they elected twice.
