You know we don't have to wait for the country to fall apart violently. There no shame in just calling it quits and everyone apply for sanctuary at their country of choice all at once.
Nah, no need to leave this land and its resources to the most evil.
Already on it.
For anyone who is seriously considering this you need to look into the term "expat" if you didn't know the word
Lol, fix your shit back home instead of moving elsewhere and fucking things up there as well, you guys live in the richest and most armed country in the world, you don't have the excuse of not having resources at your disposition. I'll welcome refugees with open arms if they come from a third world country, but from the USA? Fuck no.
Would you have said the same thing to people fleeing Germany before the Holocaust?
There's a major difference when it's people complaining that can't be bothered to vote to make a difference.

Are you really sure it's the same individuals?
The people wanting to leave at the moment? They might vote, they still have the power to push those who don't to do so instead of trying to move elsewhere. Hell, by leaving they only make things worse for those who stay by making those who want to improve things a smaller % of the population.
At the moment a majority of the population is pro choice in the USA, but seeing that right attacked isn't enough to make more than a minority of those under 35 go out and vote, they're exactly the people concerned!
Now you've got people that would otherwise vote Democrat saying they won't vote for Biden because of Palestine, as if that doesn't pave the way for Trump and as if he would be any better.
Progressives don't actually get involved in politics, you've got very few Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez compared to the number of Romney and Greene.
