What really is going on in the US right now? Is this worse than the first term? Why're legal people being kicked out? When is it time to really consider leave? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

First term a lot of people considered leaving but frankly it didn't feel like this.

Mods: I am unsure if this question goes against rule 2 or not. I mean to ask this as the general situation but of course it is political. The wording of the rule makes it unclear if politics are allowed or not...

If you have the opportunity and resources to get out, go. Things are only going to get worse.

I hate to break it to you but you can leave the US all you want but unless you get off this planet entirely you will not escape anything.

Fascism is coming for the entire world not just the US. It’s already well in progress as you can see many other countries following suit.

Brazil prosecuted Bolsonaro for a coup attempt. Somehow.

And what did Biden say when a fascist whom Biden called fascist arrived at the White House on January 20? “Welcome home”. (?!?)
