I am sorry for your loss, USA. And i am sorry for the rest of the world.

No, it's full-on panic time now.
TheShoggothOfMosquitoCreek
My partner and I survive on SSI and social security, with SNAP covering our food. They want set lifetime limits on Medicaid and Medicare, raise the retirement age, and I don't remember what else. So we can look forward to dying malnourished on the sidewalk when we've used up our benefits.
MrBewn
Please, I... I cannot do this another four years and I'm not even in the US.

You won't have to, because the old America will officially have died. You'll be living in a different country without moving.

Well, living in Mexico or Canada is living in America too!

Who said anything about panicking? This is still just the culture shock. You wait till I've settled down into the situation and found my bearings. Then I'll start panicking!

Unless people start mowing down republican politicians left and right I'm not gonna get my hopes up, honestly. I'll get my hopes up when either Kamala wins or we reject the results of the election and overthrow the government.

How the hell did we lose so many minorities, the working class, and suburban women?! Is everyone a Nazi now?!
haggerton
Many minorities have sympathies with their families in their home countries in the Global South. NATO has kinda been genociding them for decades, and Trump is anti-NATO.
There's no guarantee that Trump won't genocide them even more (certainly seems that way for Gaza), but they certainly do not see any of the US-establishment factions as "non-Nazi".
Hoogemast
Yeah as a European I'm scared the big bombs in Ukraine will come out now. Trump is a friend of Putin and there have been many signs that he won't do anything about him and give him free reign. There have been signs that the DoD have stopped Putin from using atomic bombs, so I'm kinda scared that Trump will say: i love big bombs, they are the best, America has even bigger bombs, love to see bombs in action well done Putin and the world gets fucked another time
haggerton
Nukes are unlikely. DoD isn't the only one who doesn't want to see nukes in Ukraine, China doesn't want it either, and China has much more leverage on Putin than Trump.
casbott
But just stopping US military aid and intelligence sharing (and other things) will weaken Ukraine enough.
The Palestinian people are also not going to be thankful to American supporters who decided to "send a message to the Democrats."
Well, the few Palestinian people that will be left ....

jkoudys
You'd be surprised how many critically important, uncontested matters of public record they just plain never hear about. They've never even heard about the prosecutions for the fake electors plot, and believe the police first let them in on jan 6. It's an alternate reality.
casbott
The mainstream media has done a marvellous job of keeping the general public uninformed in general and of Sanewashing Trump in particular.
People who only watch the evening news are amazingly ignorant of actual events.
I've told family and friends Trumps rally claims of secret forced transition surgeries being performed at public schools on unsuspecting schoolchildren, and they thought I was joking till I got THEM to make a google search.
These are not MAGA faithful, they are regular people.

I got like five towels, a hitchhiker only needs one with the special nutrient corner so... I got four extra if anybody wants

As a European, i will probably be at war with Russia in a few hours because some jerks in Indiana are afraid that LGBT might have rights. And i will have to explain that to my 21 yo son. So yes, I panic.

If it's by one electoral college vote, that's all it takes. Win is a win and US democracy carries on.

jasondeslin
Look around. An admitted dictator that was convicted of rape is a hair from ending democracy as he's bragged about. Even if we scrape by this time, democracy is over. All they need to do is win once. It's going to take blood before anything will get better. I don't know why I hoped for better, I've studied history more than enough to know that humans never learn or change.
WhichEndDoITypeIntoAgain
I for one would welcome a democrat finally losing the popular vote but winning the dumbass electoral college. That being said: the Electoral College needs to fucking go
TinyOctopus
Too late. Don't know where the towel is. Need beer and peanuts.
AimingForAdorkable
I officially do not understand the towel reference. Can TinyOctopus help me?
TinyOctopus
The motto "Don't Panic" is written on the cover of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy from the book of the same name by Douglas Adams.
In it, it is said that any good hitchhiker knows where his towel is at all times.
If you haven't read the book, tiny octopus highly recommends it.

Duuudeee I've been spending the last few weeks looking up immigration to basically anywhere but here as a just in case
was really hoping it wouldn't have to be a reality but its starting to look more like it.
Strategicgnomer
Problem is, if he wins, his wake of destruction will break the world. We're talking dark dark dark times everywhere. So leaving won't help. Better to stay and fight where you can make a difference. Join local resistance cells, learn guerilla tactics, learn to mask and play red, and undermine him at every turn.
DeadpoolsTinyHand
Just like he did the last time. Am I right?
Strategicgnomer
Yes, you are, though I suspect you're trying to imply otherwise. He was extremely destructive last time for the world and undermined a lot of global programs designed to protect democracy, and that was WITH advisors that worked tirelessly to stop his worst impulses. With all of them gone and pro fascist, pro Nazi and pro Putin people around him pushing him to do MORE damage, it's going to be so much worse.
nekoro
That's exactly why I want to stay but, if push comes to shove and other transfolk get round up in red states like the repubs keep stating they wanna do I need to make sure i'm long gone by then.
Strategicgnomer
Oh, yeah if you're a target that's a different story for sure. In that case, apply for asylum in Canada. And if you need help settling in, either in BC or Quebec, HMU. I'm moving to Quebec but my community is in BC, and I know people that help asylum seekers.
nekoro
Yeah my original plan was to get secure some sort of footing in Ontario and see what I can do from there.
Unwnssj
Go to Ireland. Some places there will even pay you if you buy a house.
Socksforgloves
Unfortunately there is a significant housing crisis here driving up prives meaning a huge amount of people are unable to afford homes.

Narwhilian
Oh yo what? I'm down. I am a data scientist and my fiance is a nurse. Ireland looking for immigrants with either of those jobs?

Apparently, they need job providers more than anything, so if you're willing to start a business, they'd be more inclined.

Do this! Research the incentives places give, off the top of my head, Estonia and Portugal give a virtual passport, Japan you can buy a free house and start a business.

Yeah, but Estonia would be one of Putins' next adventures after going through Moldavia and Georgia. Estonia has kicked them out twice before, though.
bequietbekind101
I’ve been thinking Portugal or Spain since the 2016 election. It’s really starting to look like a next step.
Narwhilian
How important is the ability to speak Japanese when moving to Japan? Seriously asking.
I could learn but obviously that would take some time.
BobbyBoomstick
Very, they have the JLPT, Japanese language proficiency test and you have to get a certain level to be allowed to get a live and work visa.
nekoro
Is Ireland trans friendly? I had assumed it wasn't for a long time but I'll put it on my list of places to check out regardless.
SteersAndQueers
We're generally accommodating. We legalised gay marriage a few years ago.
nekoro
My metric is "Unlikely to be shot/stabbed in the street while I'm mind my own B" so that's cool in my book.
Unwnssj
Unfortunately, I do not know. I started off my previous comment with "come to the UK," but it won't be long until the Tories get back in (or fuck forbid Reform takes it) and kiss Trump's ass and further cut us off from the EU.
Ireland seemed like a good alternative.
mouseasw
Is Ireland part of the EU, or did brexit fuck them too?
LeTourdeFrance
Go there and start a business. They need jobs
