Alan Dershowitz said in July he would blow his brains out on live television if NYC elected Mamdani.

Hey man, nice shot.

Someone should interview him with a loaded gun on the table between them. The interviewer should make no verbal mention of the gun and only quickly glance at it after saying anything.

[–] Lightfire228@pawb.social 19 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

That sounds like a good way to get shot as a reporter

Put a blank in it for comedic effect.

TBH I would rather see him hauled in front of a jury for his ties to Epstein. He should die in a cell after seeing his entire legacy and name be destroyed.

Study after study has been done on every election looking for people who publicly say they are moving if their party lost. They found consistently that the number of people who follow through are in the single digits.

Trump famously said he was going to leave the US when he lost to Biden. We all begged him to go but nope.

MAGAs have repeatedly said they are going to move to Russia or Argentina or other conservative places only to realize they wouldn't be in the ruling class.

Oh I remember this one. And it was 🤌

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 weeks ago

I did this myself, when Connecticut rejected a constitutional convention in 2008. I believe that representatives are generally for sale and a direct initiative is absolutely necessary. So I moved somewhere where I have more of a voice.

If CA didn't ask my permission to redistrict, I would've been mad about it. But the additional oversight makes a huge difference to me and I'm quite happy with today's result.

I hope he and his family are doing okay. The UK is certainly better than the US, but it's increasingly becoming less appealing as an alternative.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Me too! I'd love to hear that they're all doing well, and that they are & will stay safe.

Is this how I find out he won? OMFG, I'm ecstatic!

Maybe you should do a reverse-Kirk. Find all those who wanted to leave and expose them publicly, document them if they have actually left the city or not.

Drink blood through a hole in your neck?

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 weeks ago

Bravo, you magnificent bastard.

I thought a reverse Kirk would be someone slurping buckets of blood with their throat

Some people said similar stuff before Trump was elected and while they didn't move there are a ton of people being deported

[–] rayyy@piefed.social 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Conversely, many who voted for him are leaving the country by being deported. Bet they didn't see that coming, although any moron should have because that is what he campaigned on. They just got what they voted for. Hurray.

Conversely, many who voted for him are leaving the country by being deported.

The "haha, Trump supporters are self-deporting" always seems to put a veneer of schadenfreude over what is a monstrous crime against a population with virtually no democratic representation. The brunt of these ICE assaults are in liberal cities, targeting black and brown people, many of whom are being punished while in the process of following the law. Agents snatching people at court hearings or while filing visa or green card paperwork. Agents assaulting people at hospitals and schools. Agents snatching parents from their children in line at the airport. The overwhelming majority of these residents can't even vote.

One of the grossest aspects of modern liberalism is this naive need to believe Trump's policies are some kind of karmic justice. Nothing about this is just. Nothing about it is going to "self-correct". The nation is being raped and pillaged.

Moving from a state/city to another is relatively easy, at the cheapest (assuming rental apartment) you can. Move from city to city in the US for around 3-6k depending on distance. Leaving the country is much harder, especially if you have items you care about, pets, family... Etc.

Also fuck him its my home the can leave if its so bad. That's like having a shitty houseguest for an evening and just ceding the property to them.

They're gonna move to Florida for a few months, then when they realize they hate it there they'll move to North Carolina to tell us all about how they did things up north.

They're leaving NYC like a lot of those folks who said they were leaving America if Trump won are moving to... I dunno... wherever they were planning to go.

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Talking to a friend in NZ - he says there's been a big influx of Americans, welcomed by tech firms because at the same time a lot of skilled NZers are leaving for Australia. I'm told some of the wealthier tech bros, eg Peter Thiel, are building bunkers in NZ ready for the apocalypse.

Pff.

Same people driving around NY all year with Florida, Georgia, and Carolinas license plates. They’re already tax dodgers and don’t have their permanent address as NY.
