37. Given that I am in Canada ...

... yes, I am safe here - safe from Trump's EOs, safe from Republicans passing discriminatory legislation against women's rights and LGBT rights, safe from Evangelicals influencing gov't policy, safe from bankruptcy due to medical expenses, safe from the consequences of lax gun laws, etc.

Trump's bluster stops at the border. We here are not subject to his idiocy, or his policies.
