I joined this forum to vote on your poll. Yes Trump is the GC and I didn't vote.
For any U.S. citizen wanting to flee the country, please check the immigration requirements of your desired nation of residence. It's likely that they will not want you.
Hang on everyone, will be an interesting four years.
I knew it was only a matter of time.
As for those who want to leave the country my view is they shouldn't let the door hit them in the ass on the way out.
And yes the next four years will be interesting. I expect decentralization and dismantling the New Deal to the be the second order after the wall and re-asserting our national sovereignty. Maybe we can get back to being a union of states again.
In a prior incarnation as a Marxist, you would have loved this because it would have created the circumstances in which a Socialist insurrection becomes likely -- absence of democracy, corrupt and incompetent leadership, suppression of non-violent opposition... something like Cuba in the late 1950s, Cuba until then the most economically-advanced country to have had a Marxist revolution.
The next four years will be interesting in the sense that a house fire is interesting -- if your idea of entertainment is destruction of a fine old house with some fine antique furniture in it . I think it will be sickening to watch as the ravaged contents once precious are removed.
I almost expect Donald Trump to make a sick parody of a line in JFK's inaugural address to "Ask what your country can do TO you".
Donald Trump is the real-life Berzelius Windrip (Sinclair Lewis' It Can't Happen Here).
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
