What safety plan? We can already get shot at Walmart.

🤔 Do you have any family or friends abroad or by the Canadian border? Can you get to the Canadian border in late October? There's a bus that'll take you over the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit, and all you need is a passport book or card and a good excuse. Just tell them you're going to gamble at the casinos there.

There's a thousand mile expanse of woods and bullshit across the northern states where you could just walk through the forests into Canada.

Or you could drive into Mexico if you know anybody there, such as that is.

Cruise to the Bahamas, perhaps...?

Yeah I don't know about "likely" but it's not a bad thing to have.

I left the country to study abroad in 2012, and after 2016 was firmly in the camp of never moving back

Project 2025?

We can't be certan that that'll happen, but no matter if it does, or where you live, shit's gonna get wild sooner or later. Global warming is getting worse and worse as I'm typing this, wars and straight up genocides are happening everywhere, and fascism is on the rise. Stay safe, for in the case we as a species survive this shitstorm, future generations will rise again. If we don't, then good night everyone.

After, no doubt, but how soon? Whoever has control of the major bulk of the military writes the next version of the US though because as much as Cleatus & Co want to think otherwise their stash of AR15s isn't going to to a damn thing if a tank is rolling up the street.

🤔🤔🤔

I think it depends a lot on who wins the election.

I believe there might not actually be a winner. The race could be so close both sides will dispute it, and turn to violence because they feel the election was stolen from them.

We see signs of this now -- younger voters are turning away from Biden because of Palestine, and Trump is leading in several key swing states but only by an ass-hair.

So I cast doubt on the people who think this'll be one-sided against Trump supporters. Also they themselves have tanks, it's legal to own them. But people conveniently forget that.

Thus the 'whoever controls the military' qualification. I like to think that the folks charged with defending the nation would hold for the established order, but it's also a collective of individuals that could go warlord and throw in with a new revolutionary force.
