I'd probably reluctantly live in Hawaii. If someone were paying me an unreasonable amount of money to do so. Distance seems to temper the worst of the bullshit.

    By this time next year it will either be its own thing or part of another country, this place will be a Balkanized mess by then

    It will be increasingly overrun by tech bros who are setting up compounds to hunker down through the worst of whatever the future holds.

    they also found out that they couldnt run thier little compounds efficiently, no waste removal system. just the other month i think BEZOs was complaining about human waste not be properly disposed from his compund/island.

    What else would you do, reluctantly, for money?
    See, Larry Ellison owns about 98% of the island of Lanai. He's got a bunker there.
    Zuckerberg also owns property on Lanai, has a bunker there (a Lanai local told me), in addition to his ranch on Kauai.
    Peter Thiel, probably similar. Musk, similar... Oprah, etc.
    So we'll get you the GoFundMe money, but we have a mission for you...

    Don't complain. There's literally people that live in America right now. Send your thoughts and prayers.

    I basically dgaf about - oh I dunno - 178 million of them. You know, the 77 million who voted for this fascist clownshow plus the 101 million who didn’t even bother voting. They can all rot in their self-made hell for all I care.

    Not that we'd expect this one to.

    Weird that that community doesn't exist on Lemmy yet.

    @Dave@lemmy.nz, would you be up for hosting it? Having it on the NZ instance would be *chef's kiss*.

    Definitely not even for a visit.

    Yeah I was thinking visiting was off limits, and I think I'm taken as a white dude, though generics will say otherwise. Half my ancestors discovered America the other half didn't think they lost it, sort of thing. Also I try not to visit countries with fascist governments.

    As a colour blind Canadian, I’m horribly confused. Is this a never or absolutely? You don’t happen to be from Alberta by any chance, do you?

    Never is in red, absolutely is in green, the entire map is colored red. There is nothing but the never red shown anywhere on the map beyond the key.

    It is a bad choice for the colors chosen, as they are the perfect red/green opposite for color blindness to see as the same color.

    Note: this not written as snarky to Fly_Dutch_Rudder, itt is meant as a helpful explanation of the map.

    That's how I feel, and I'm American. Wanted to go expat during Trumpfest 1 but the wife wouldn't budge.

    I really hope other countries start allowing lgbtqia+ people to immigrate as asylum seekers.

    I'm so sick of living in this shithole country.

    No one on Earth could be as cruel as the US is to its own people

    I understand the dislike for the US, but I think it's disingenuous to suggest that there aren't any other countries just as bad as the current admin, if not worse.

    Half of the countries in the world are horrible places to live. Actually it might be more than half, but you get the idea.

    I wish I had any but from what I understand. If you aren't rich its hard to move to another country. A shame because I would be Canadian or European for my own safety if I could

    Realistically Canada is going to put off allowing asylum seekers from the US as long as possible, as the volumes of asylum seekers the US handles (that are no longer welcome there) would overwhelm Canada. That's without considering American asylum seekers too.

    You best bet is to consider immigrating through traditional, economic based pathways.

    I don't know.. Id probably live in Hawaii or Oregon or Washington. They sound like nice places, but I they're probably still very off from my European sensibilities. New England sounds nice too.

    As an American looking at Canada, the only red is Quebec, excepting Montreal.
