I admit I was at least hoping for some federal-level gridlock, but it looks like it's quite possible that Red MAGA will have all branches of the federal government soon. (hexbear.net)

I've already cast down my bucket where I am. I have no realistic prospects of leaving the country. It's quite possible that the humble but still prospering niche I've carved for myself in the last year is in imminent danger, maybe even at a personal level.

I'll say it. I'm afraid. I knew nothing good could come of this election, but having one particular brand of fascism without even performative opposition to slow down whatever acts of revenge or just outright looting and mayhem it wants to do while the climate crisis accelerates... well, I'll say it again. I'm afraid.

That's the post.

This solidified my decision to leave the country. I can’t believe that, with all the shit at stake, we chose to actively oppress ourselves, and honestly I don’t think I can continue to live with the people who did that. While I had already given up hope for this country, I have now truly lost any faith I had left. I guess that’s for the best, in the end. May this hasten the fall, I guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Where will you go?

[-] Pandantic@midwest.social 8 points 15 hours ago

Off to somewhere in Asia, where things are more progressive. I’ve been saving since Trump/Hillary, so the time has come.

Well, I hope that works. Only Taiwan has similar lgbt rights to my current home, and Im afraid Taiwan will get dragged down with the USA.
