So me and my niece are part of an outgroup that is currently being targeted by the hard right, and my sister and I both legitimately fear for the safety of our family.

With the news Biden is dropping out, we are leaving the country.

To be clear: I LIKE Harris, I will be voting for Harris and whoever else is on the blue side of the ballot. But after that we are all getting on a plane because I think regardless of who wins this election, this country will go full concentration-camp fascist within 4 years.

The apathy that I see in my fellow citizens about all of the horrific things surrounding that fucking orange abomination tells me this country WANTS fascism and this time the GOP picked a narcissistic idiot, then next time they won’t make that mistake.

So we’re packing most of our stuff and shipping it off tomorrow to relatives, voting early, and staying in a sane country for at least a few years.

I hate that I have to do this, I hate that it is even a conceivable issue but some trumpfucker at a protest broke my nieces hand because of who she is and I don’t think it’s safe to be in a place where that becomes normalized.

    Why does this make you so angry? Just let them be. You just proved their point more if anything especially if your in the u.s.
