Don't complain. There's literally people that live in America right now. Send your thoughts and prayers.

We appreciate that but what we really need are more bullets and prescription drugs

Never enough. Apparently.

I basically dgaf about - oh I dunno - 178 million of them. You know, the 77 million who voted for this fascist clownshow plus the 101 million who didn’t even bother voting. They can all rot in their self-made hell for all I care.

I'd probably reluctantly live in Hawaii. If someone were paying me an unreasonable amount of money to do so. Distance seems to temper the worst of the bullshit.

By this time next year it will either be its own thing or part of another country, this place will be a Balkanized mess by then

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It will be increasingly overrun by tech bros who are setting up compounds to hunker down through the worst of whatever the future holds.

What else would you do, reluctantly, for money?
See, Larry Ellison owns about 98% of the island of Lanai. He's got a bunker there.
Zuckerberg also owns property on Lanai, has a bunker there (a Lanai local told me), in addition to his ranch on Kauai.
Peter Thiel, probably similar. Musk, similar... Oprah, etc.
So we'll get you the GoFundMe money, but we have a mission for you...

Definitely not even for a visit.

Even the snowbirds I know are taking a pass. That country is in a badddd place.

Yeah I was thinking visiting was off limits, and I think I'm taken as a white dude, though generics will say otherwise. Half my ancestors discovered America the other half didn't think they lost it, sort of thing. Also I try not to visit countries with fascist governments.

As a colour blind Canadian, I’m horribly confused. Is this a never or absolutely? You don’t happen to be from Alberta by any chance, do you?

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 6 points 3 months ago

Never is in red, absolutely is in green, the entire map is colored red. There is nothing but the never red shown anywhere on the map beyond the key.

It is a bad choice for the colors chosen, as they are the perfect red/green opposite for color blindness to see as the same color.

Note: this not written as snarky to Fly_Dutch_Rudder, itt is meant as a helpful explanation of the map.

Not that we'd expect this one to.

Weird that that community doesn't exist on Lemmy yet.

@Dave@lemmy.nz, would you be up for hosting it? Having it on the NZ instance would be *chef's kiss*.

I'll throw together a survey for Lemmy.nz users and see what people think 🙂

This is great!

Fuck I don't want to live here either. Please annex Washington, we'll come willingly.

Wish I could relate. At this point im waiting for Canada to announce asylum for transpeople

[–] festus@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

Realistically Canada is going to put off allowing asylum seekers from the US as long as possible, as the volumes of asylum seekers the US handles (that are no longer welcome there) would overwhelm Canada. That's without considering American asylum seekers too.

You best bet is to consider immigrating through traditional, economic based pathways.

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

All my profs at my Canadian undergrad university were American, they had left because of Kent State. A lot have already come up here again.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago

and MD recently denied an offer from ULCA heading a surgical team to be in one of Canadas healthcare clinics/university.

Great I'm disabled and never finished College, so that's probably not gonna happen

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

its either mexico or canada. EU if your a PHD/MD in niche specailities holder, willing to have less income than in the states, but they dont see the problem anyways.

OH yea, because US citizens is sitll not immediate threat from systemic persecution, war zone, or wanton killings.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Canada already has precedent of not extraditing trans people here because of the climate for queer people. June I think.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

? just come on over, I don't think we are closed off to immigration. Unless you are an ass, then I am not your buddy pal.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

That's how I feel, and I'm American. Wanted to go expat during Trumpfest 1 but the wife wouldn't budge.

[–] theUwUhugger@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Trump’s wasn’t called by canadians?

He was called by CANADA

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It was one big conference call, we were all on it.

Somebody was chewing food (I’m looking at you Todd from Kingston Ontario), but the call went okay.

I really hope other countries start allowing lgbtqia+ people to immigrate as asylum seekers.

I'm so sick of living in this shithole country.
