          Yup, Great Depression 2. Part of the reason stock prices are flying higher is because investors think they can sell before the crash happens.

        Yeah, people forget that the US has a significant involvement with multiple wars happening right now. America doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

          Poland is extremely worried right now. And we can say goodbye to Palestine before the end of the year.

          Also, get ready for a new microchip shortage. Taiwan is probably going to become a hotspot (hotter than it already is) veeeery soon.

      I’m Canadian and I’m considering moving to another continent. Trump is still too close for comfort.

        Don’t move too close to Russia either. I’ve got a feeling that NATO won’t be holding Putin back for much longer.

        I don’t think any continent is going to be unaffected by climate change. We have nowhere to run.

      Nope. It’ll be the UK for us. I’m a dual citizen with a queer daughter. We started contacting relatives when I woke up at 2 am and saw he had won Pennsylvania.

        Sure the UK will be not as a shit show as the USA, but still not great for your daughter :/

        Stay safe.

          People on Lemmy have been telling me this since 2 am as well as if I’m not aware of how things are in the UK.

          I’m very aware.

          I’m also aware that conversion therapy is not something my daughter will be forced into in the UK any time soon.

            Yeah, basically it’s choosing between getting punched in the face or getting shot (and killed).

            Things won’t be a fairytale, but the alternative is what? Trump?

            Be safe mate.

            I have just been trying to warn you that conversion therapy is going be coming to the UK to. What do you do then? Huh running away isn’t going do nothing.
