I've also kinda tried to avoid headlines, haven't been doing twitter, etc.
It's getting worse every fucking day!
I knew this SCOTUS thing was going to be horrible, but it is getting scarier by the second.
The Trumpers are outright emboldened, I see it here in nearby Nevada, and they scare the freaking crap out of me.
Election shenannigans are not only happening already, but expected to be worse... esp if SCOTUS gets involved.
It just feels like everything is on fire all around us.
I am honestly planning on trying to move to another fucking country if this fucking trainwreck continues to look like they are gonna get away with it all.
My daughter is supposed to have a big college class trip next year (got postponed due to Covid) the layover is in Munich... Im making sure we have passports ready and I'm going halfway with her. Maybe I will end up looking for a place while she's doing the school thing. Maybe we just won't come back.
I cannot stay here if this bastard and the horrors of his administration pull this shit off.

(63,941 posts)the repigs are afraid of us (thus voter suppression), we have the power to kick them to the curb or off the cliff.
Repigs should be arrested for being treasonous bastards. It will be a bloodbath down ticket for repigs.

(13,366 posts)I was hoping that by the time she goes on the trip (may 2021) we can use it as a way to get out.
I swear, it feels like we're planning on fleeing Nazi Germany...ironic?

(32,017 posts)I cant help seeing what I see. My daughter and I are dead meat in a fascist country. If the United States is going that way, well get out if we can.

(13,366 posts)I would not be able to run and certainly not fight... I'd be the poor bastard that lays down in the street in the fetal position and just gives the fuck UP...

(63,941 posts)a hard horrible time right now. We got to VOTE in record numbers this is our last option.
This POS will not get in again, there would be mass protests if he steals it again.
We have the power to change the narrative. We can do this.

(51,646 posts)Will they provide you with health care is a big question. Most countries won't for various reasons.

(25,505 posts)Current polls indicate a historic blowout. 10 million people have already voted and numbers are up everywhere.
The race will be called by all of the networks election night and no one will take anything Trump does afterward seriously. The SC isn't going to take any case from someone who lost by double digits. Roberts is very concerned about the legacy of "his" court and isn't about to turn it into a kangaroo court, Amy or no Amy. They'll simply refuse to take any cases from Trump.
The following comment is not directed at you; it's directed at those who constantly post gloom and doom posts on DU, expecting the worst from every, single development. That negativity breeds despondency and despair, resulting in posts like yours.
You deserve better. We all do. In the real world, Trump is about to get demolished.

(13,366 posts)Only a real blowout will do.
