America under Trump is still better than most of the world. Take it from someone born in a 3rd world country.
And if you have the qualifications and/or skills necessary to migrate to 1st world countries like in Europe... you're making a good wage here and have little reason to leave here anyways.
You can try actually saying something instead of the mild attempt at being disparaging
I'll repeat it
a) the countries that most working class Americans can escape to aren't any better and functionally worse. you ever live in a country that doesn't have hot water or A/C?
b) the countries they want to go to won't accept them. have you ever tried to immigrate anywhere? it's not simple and there are requirements that most Americans simply will not meet
The argument of the submission is that people would leave because things would be worse here. It makes perfect sense to point out that it you leave, it's likely going to be worse, maybe in a few way or maybe in many.
this is the stupidest thing i keep hearing. everyone who says they're going to leave is absolutely full of shit. they don't know anything about where they will go and they have no plan to do anything like this. they're just being pussies.
It's not stupid. It has happened before. That it hasn't happened "in droves" is one thing, but it has happened.
Source: I have spoken to a few of them.
Where? Europe, South East Asia and, believe it or not, South America.
Do you know who would be full of shit about leaving? Those who say they'd do it if Trump didn't win. I haven't met any Republican expats (or immigrants) just yet.
I'm currently in the process of immigrating to another country from America because of this.
The immigration group I worked with has hard statistics showing a rapid increase in Americans applying for bias with Trump presidency, and his now potential reelection.
Out of a group of ten friends, two of us are getting visas due to trump politics, and two others are going down their family ancestry route for visas into Germany. So that's 40% of the people I know, including myself.
It's not cheap to do this either. It's a real commitment in money, time, energy, and risk. But that's what it takes to have a plan B for if the shit show lands again, because it's a full on dictator ship next round.
The last thing the rest of the world needs is American right wingers moving over. And if you think Biden is actually good, I've got news for you about your political leanings.
And then they actually do some research and notice that for almost everyone of them, in almost every country on this planet their quality of living would deteriorate.
edit: Trump getting 2nd term might actually for reals change this though
edit2: Although like the previous time perhaps not ;)
trump getting elected would certainly change things.
I'm not sure how, and im not sure that it would be good, but a candidate using facist-esque rhetoric in their campaign is not exactly my favorite thing ever.
