So anyway, now may be a good time to:

  1. Reach out to our foreign friends and ask to help lobby their governments to provide refugee programs before we are cut off from the outside world.

  2. Look into decentralized mesh internet infrastructure.

    Given the general trend of far-right everything, fat chance of 1 happening before it's too late. Better hope Mexico is taking people.

    You're right that its a general trend, but there are exceptions.

    Australia presently has a progressive government, with the largest majority in living memory. Our conservative parties have been gutted.

    Granted, we have our share of dickheads, and id be happy to swap them for US lefties.

    This is obviously not an expectation on you personally, alone. But have you guys heard of fucking organising a coherent resistance?

    Please. You have nukes, and imperium over much of the world.

    Could you like, actually reform and not just roll over? We don't want you. (Well, other countries in general. Not that I'd want to prevent people fleeing, personally).

    A mass flight from the US is not a viable solution for the world. It'll be Gilead, and we'll all be fucked.

    Sincerely, from the provinces.

    (P.S. it's not super rosy here either, but at least it's just sparkling capitalism over here, and not full on fascism)

    It might be a good time to: fight like hell. Get involved in your local political groups organising to stop the rise of fascism. If you don't, then it's on you (collectively).
