Sure, but there's also half of your countrymen to think about

True. Trump does not hold a monopoly on suck.

[–] formergijoe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

But he does have a monopoly on his fan base. Hopefully the hamburder in his veins requires a scramble for a new king and none of his court can agree who should have the crown and the crowd rejects them anyway.

Canada is just america but 5-10 years behind on the crazy policies. It really isn't any better and cost of living is often higher than in america.

This is simply not true. Did America have universal medicine 5-10 years ago? Subsidized education? Abortion and trans rights? Refugee policies? The only country in America attempting to highlight the genocide in Gaza? "Cost of living" isn't higher on average, it's the taxes and population density in specific areas that skew the numbers. Not surprising you cant count.

Seems to me americans love to say Canada is americas retarded cousin (quoting tucker carlson) because it makes them feel better, but it's simply not true.

Our society isnt exactly the same as America's but it does seem to mirror it a little more every year. For example we are on the brink of losing our public healthcare and some provinces are attacking trans rights. Canada has also been exporting arms to Israel during the genocide.

Immigration in most developed countries is stricter than the US. And we all know the US's immigration restrictions are insane.

It's not just that, people are acting like things are better in other countries. Like, name ONE country that has not gone off the deep end and ended up on the right recently. One major player. I'll wait. There is no utopia waiting for you in those other countries because they don't want you there and acting like you will be accepted as a refugee is foolhardy. The USA is a shit show right now, but we also don't know the future. It looks bleak right now because of the information we have RIGHT NOW. If you want to move out of the country, be my guest, but don't act like it's going to automatically be better, it's just going to be a different kind of shit show.

If it gets bad I actually will move to Canada, I'm a dual citizen

Hey there sailor.

Wanna get gay married?

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I've looked into it, believe me. New Zealand too. My wife is too rooted to our house, and we have an adult daughter still living at home with medical problems that would probably disqualify her.

I remember that being said by the Hitlers (normal people but had the no longer so nice last name) about changing last name.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

If only they had stuck with it, who would have thought Hitler would come back in style again?
