So we’ve reached the minorities-flee-the-country stage.

That was fast. It’s getting Nazier by the minute in this motherfucker…

    Sorry to get hung up on the headline - but what other country than America would Americans be seeking asylum from?

      America is so hung up on people seeking asylum here that I think they wanted to emphasize that people are seeking asylum from America and not in America before people glossed over the story

      Canada for one… Although as a trans person in Canada, I’m not sure how long it’s gonna stay ok for us here.

        I think a lot of trans people are going to come to Canada (and we should protect them), and then Canada will become a “terrorist threat” because of our harboring terrorists, and then the annexation happens.

        On this trajectory we’re on, I see it as an inevitability.

        All Canadians should be preparing as if we will be at war relatively soon. Every single product you buy from an American company fuels fascism and the eventual takeover of Canada.

        If nobody stops MAGA, trans, disabled and “leftist” Canadians are all at risk.

        Don’t want to be alarmist, more like I hope we all start preparing now in any way we can.

          It’s not. It’s going to take time to unfuck ourselves, and in the millisecond world of social media that seems like way too long to hope. But the millisecond world of social media is wrong about that.

          No sane rational person has anything but love and respect for Canada. It’s just that an astounding twenty percent of us, who voted, are not sane or rational. Just stupid as hell.

          That would be an attack on the Commonwealth. USA won’t do that, trump loves the king too.

            A lot of people said Trump would not designate trans people as terrorists too. A lot of people said Trump would not open concentration camps too.

            Nothing means anything if MAGA gets unchecked power. They’re not there yet, but once the military confirms they will fight for Trump, it’s over.

      I think it was a figure of speech to highlight how incredible it is that it’s America’s turn to become a godforsaken country from which a persecuted minority of the citizenry of feel compelled to flee.
