      In the process of obtaining my passports if needed. They won’t want my commie ass around, anyway.

      If they do some lockdown bullshit, my family and I will find some way to escape.

        And what if, for some unforeseen reason, you just can’t leave? Not wishing that on anyone, but that’s how life works sometimes. In that case, it’ll be like comparing today to 10 years ago when Trump got started. A distant past where it seems like at least something more could have been done to stop this timeline from occurring. Just swap the dates to today and whenever fascism officially begins. You’ll have to wonder what could have been done sooner, wouldn’t you? That foreseen “sooner” is now and up until the very near future.

          I’ve definitely considered that outcome. Uprooting and relocating ones family takes a lot of money. It is not realistic for most and a pretty far stretch for my family. I have a masters level education and could possibly end up as a taxi driver elsewhere.

        I have family in the Untied States and I’m mad at them for continuing to live there. I’m terrified that they’ll realize it’s time to get out when it’s too late. Like in The Handmaid’s Tale when June and Luke try to escape and realize they should have done it sooner
