Yeah. Idk how I feel about this gotcha perspective when trans people and undocumented immigrants are facing state violence on a nearly existential level. Like, is this your response to that? To adopt this smug affect and do nothing? Business as usual for you, I suppose.

You'll have to forgive me for taking this post very literally. I am very scared for what is going to happen to my friends and loved ones in the coming weeks.

options are limited but they are there.

  • stay in the dangerzone, conveniently marked in red on the map
  • move to a blue state that has a solid track record. if you're willing, flood red counties and turn them blue/purple to help maintain stability of the state
  • leave the country, how long before cheeto king claims a blue state administration broke "federal laws" and arrests them and replaces them with loyalists?

Those 2 options both depend on having money to fund your escape. People unfortunately can't just leave. Children can't just leave.
