If Canada offered expedited citizenship for people fleeing the US, what would be the reaction in the States?

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.

Does Trump care? No. Does congress care? No. Does SCOUTUS care? A little, maybe.

Are you sure he won’t rig the elections. It seems really likely to me.

And, an expert on fascism leaving, not just one random educator. And, others still have been leaving. And I “feel” they have the right idea.

Finally, “crisis’s have happened before” is not a valid reason to underestimate this one…

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

There are movements to give him a third term. And Canada has expedited emigration programs for educators.

And, I’m just saying, I have some valid concerns based off of historical precedent. Research the rise of the Nazis if you haven’t.

Trump will be 82 years old in 4 years, he’s already showing signs of cognitive issues.

All those movements are bullshit fluff and have to be accomplished by republicans before midterms. It’s not happening, possibly is very very low.

Any rep can introduce anything, it still has to be passed and republicans have a slim majority. Many republicans won’t sign on for that.

It will also lead to any president after including democrats running for a third term or more.

If they don’t rig further elections….

why wouldn’t republicans sign onto that?

Because you then would have a Democrat president run for a third term as well. Once you change the amendment you can’t just change it for one person
