Feel free to call me Chicken Little, but I believe we have likely voted in our last free and open election. Between voter suppression, media consolidation, and outright manipulation, I can imagine an outcome that no longer reflects even the illusion of the people's will.
If only it were that easy. Relocating is financially draining. And emotionally challenging if you're leaving family behind. And, why don't we all move to Canada, or Europe, or anywhere else for healthcare? You don't think the first thing Texas does after the split is put up checkpoints and require "papers" to travel outside the New Confederate States of Jesus Christ?
I hope we look back on this conversation in four years and all agree I was alarmist and overly imaginative. And wrong. But with every headline it seems we inch closer.
You're right on many points and I agree. But no one takes your homeland. States stand in solitude further than people believe. Hate has divided us. But that doesn't mean hate can't union us as well. Spread the word. Trump is and has always been the harbinger of the rich and the annihilation of the middle class. He knows nothing but his birth, same as Musk, they were born rich. They are not our friends, they have always been our enemy.
