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...

This is by far the worst term than the first.

Massive Federal Firings
Musk openly doing the Nazi Salute
Trump/Musk claiming 'domestic terrorism' over Tesla vandalism and protests
Trump just left and right, trying to stall, threaten, intimidate and insult judges that ruled against him
Trump and his cronies ignoring all sorts of federal orders from judges
Trump attempting to pull the biggest deportation operation seen in history
Trump actually starting tariff wars with Canada, Mexico and other countries
Trump and Vance talking down the President of Ukraine
Trump siding with and favoring Russia/Putin
Trump and cronies dismantling federal departments
Trump telling everyone to 'shut up' about egg prices

He is just going on a infantile tyrannical rampage on everything that threatens or demeans him. Not the country, not the people, just him. He and his couch-fucking friend Vance and his boytoy Musk.

Oh and people always threaten to leave all of the time when someone they voted for didn't get office and the opposing side did. Always happens every election. It's all nothingburgers until people actually do leave.
