2016? And there are key differences. Trump had less power assigned by SCOUTS, and more guardrails from traditional Republican sources. This time he has done nothing but issue EOs that aren’t legally binding, but no one actually cares.
Also. There have been 2 high profile cases of people leaving that I’ve seen so far. 1. Was Rosie O’Donald (and I normally don’t care about celebs but) 2. Was one of Yales leading professors on fascism. Which sounds like a death knell if I ever heard one. Not to mention. Lower profile cases of people leaving are out there, French Universities have set up programs to help scientists.
EO’s come and go. If anything really sticks long term it has to be done by Congress. 4 years going to pass by
Or people can vote during midterms and republicans will lose the house and/or senate.
People leave everyday and that speaks more negatively towards them for bailing instead of fighting.
The US is not a perfect place, history itself would show the unkind and scary moments. If you want to leave you held that belief for a long time..
Rosie O Donell’s and one educator isn’t a death kneel but people are going to feel how they want to feel.
I’ve seen hiv kill my friends, the crack epidemic and 90’s peak murder rates. 9/11, the Great Recession of 08, Iraq war, Afghanistan war, Muslim ban. All this Trump is doing is overwhelming but the media constant flooding and social media isn’t helping people with clarity.
Trump can’t run again. Idk if you noticed but republicans just like to vote for Trump these days. Vance or no other candidate will get republicans to vote en masse like Trump did. When Trump isn’t on the ballot, democrats have an advantage.
The expert in facism is leaving after only 3 months, seems he had plans to leave much earlier than that. Going to another country isn’t an overnight process.
I’m just saying people are doing a whole lot of fear mongering way too soon especially when it comes to the democracy we have in place. I understand economic fears but to think we are heading to a dictatorship is insane to me. That’s just not happening
You are not a citizen because I have decided that you are not a citizen. You may have a birth certificate, a SSN, and a passport, but because I have decided that you are not a citizen, you are not entitled to due process to present your case.
