As always, disclaimer that I’m not a US citizen.
You usually see quite a few people mentioning leaving the country if Trump would get elected, but how realistic are those plans?
Not to say it’s not justified with the prospect of Project 2025 (see the other thread), but seems like a huge life change that is probably not possible for most of the people.
I finished renewing my passport just in case but have no plans at the moment. Not sure where I’d go. But now that it’s over, I’m leaning towards staying here and fighting. Fuck them. We shouldn’t make it easy or comfortable for them to oppress the people here who can’t leave.
Having a passport and some friends overseas is a good idea. Maybe even an employment plan or otherwise a stable landing place if it gets very bad.
I agree about staying to fight. But trapping yourself into a battle with no way to retreat, when you know it might get bad, isn’t good strategy.
Good point. It might be a good idea to set up a Plan B anyway just in case.
This might ultimately get solved with EU boots on American soil.
Someone free us! Lol
I doubt it. The EU as a whole, without the UK, lacks force projection capabilities. It’s one thing to string a supply line overland through the continent. It is a whole different thing to string supply lines across an entire ocean. Without massive military spending, which is historically deeply unpopular in the EU, I don’t see them invading any time soon, and THAT assumes the political will to even consider that as an option exists in the first place.
