dwayneb's JournalLeaving the USA? - pros and cons
These are purely my opinions and speculations. Hopefully I am wrong this time.
The United States here in 2022 is shifting toward autocracy and away from representative democracy.
It remains to be seen whether Democrats or Progressives can prevail in protecting our Constitutional freedoms and rights for free expression and for free and fair elections. Certainly we will lose the battle to protect abortion rights. Certainly we will lose the fight to prevent the degradation and corruption of our election systems. Most probably we will begin to see the erosion of our free speech and free assembly.
The most likely scenario for the USA 20 years hence will be something that looks like a crossbreed of Apartheid South Africa and modern day Russia. This is reality. Those that will vote to usher in this brave new world won't find out until far too late what they have given up. "You don't know what you've got till it's gone".
Recently, several of my friends and relatives have been making plans to leave the US, and move to other North American countries like Canada and Mexico.
Is anyone else considering this? Generally I think it's a foolish idea - because the trend toward Fascism is a worldwide phenomena, it's not just the USA. Is there some Utopia out there?
