    I think there’s ground for it honestly.

    Even before, but now it can be argued even more easily.

    Were I American, I’d definitely leave before it gets uglier (it will). I wish all my fellow « antifa » Americans strength in the times to come. You guys are gonna need it 😞

      Leaving is, unfortunately, a lot easier said than done. The easiest method is probably getting a foreign employer to sponsor a work visa, and that’s not an easy pathway. Other ways are harder.

      Don’t get me wrong, I have an escape plan in mind if push comes to shove and Canada starts accepting asylum claims from trans and nonbinary people, but uprooting everything to change countries is prohibitively expensive for almost everyone.

        I guess it is. I’m really sorry to read that. Good luck to you all!

        Most of our countries will soon fall for the fascist agenda pushed by the billionaires anyway, so I’m not even sure if there’ll really be a place to run to….

          Thank you, I appreciate it! We’re going to need all the luck we can get…

          I hope that other countries can look at what’s happening here now and learn what not to do, rather than follow in our footsteps
