No. If the bad man gets re-elected I’m taking off.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

I don't think it would be very civil TBH

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Nope. I might buy a shotgun though.

If there was a charismatic leader who had a bold and progressive path to taking back our country from these tyrants, then yes.

If it's just some average joe with nothing but ideals and armchair thoughts then I'm not following that guy.

Nope. But I'd start my family in a different country.

I do not know what that is, but I would fight in any war to protect my family.

As much as I pretend to be one, I'm not really a fighter. I think this war may not need me to be one. The time to respond has already begun, and while front-line protests aren't my strong suit, supporting protestors in my community is the place for me right now. If a greater conflict escalates, I'm probably not like doing the active fighting, but I can sure as shit help with supply lines as well as helping people who need to recover in the backlines. If I ever need to be in a fight I intend to be prepared, but there's a lot more to do in a war than fight. And by the time anything like that would happen, I hope to have a resilient community around me who can support each other through hell. The fight's already begun to an extent, and it's important to remember that our best place may be "back-of-house" so to speak.

Doubtful. Too easy for me to leave. My wife holds dual citizenship, my kids are in the process of getting it now, and the country she is from would easily award me an indefinite work visa based on my skillset. Even if I couldn't leave, I won privilege bingo so not really in any danger.

You people have fun murdering each other

I've been wondering this since Trump's policies started fucking with the country.

[–] PostnataleAbtreibung@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What do you mean? Literally sending socks? Or supplies and assist one side.

I think i totally would somehow assist the civil war at the side who don’t support trump, yes. He is, in his ignorance and egalitarian attitude very dangerous not only for the us but for the whole world.
