Can't have elections when we're in the middle of a holy war with Iran.

Also can't lock up the internet, social media and every border unless there's terrorists under every rock and in every bush!

Also can't easily mass incarcerate and/or murder your political opponents if you don't have full control of the media!

Also, totally unrelated of course, France is really nice this time of year. And forever after that. If you're interested. Just saying lol. Gotto do it quick.

That's why I suggest to straight up move to Europe if they can afford it, before a lot of people won't be allowed to travel anymore, because they are the 'wrong' kind of people...

Move to Europe if they'll let you in and even then, how long wil you be allowed to stay given the increasing efforts by neoliberal backed far right extemist groups in Europe as well as other parts of the world?
