This is the second most likely outcome. The most likely is be is full of shit. I’m all for siphoning off the votes of the gullible.

Dems won’t do shit to make people’s lives better but they won’t open up concentration camps and will mostly leave trans people alone.

Unless the dinosaurs talking shit about Mamdani and AOC are brought to heel.

Liberals hate musk and won’t vote for his party. Split the stupid vote and watch Dems win unwinnable races. If he pulls that off for 2 election cycles you might even see Republicans go in on ranked choice voting.

Millennials are moving right, we are the largest voting gen and trump just won a trifecta.

Not as far right as boomers at the same age, but it happens to us too.

Learning Spanish thoroughly would be difficult, but I think I could get to conversational with a couple months effort. Taking tests is my one great talent. Tests don’t scare me. History? Government? Society? I will learn that in a week if I can read the material I will be tested on.

Finding work scares me. I can’t live outside the country for my current job.

Canadas housing situation is worse than the US I thought, at least in the places most people live.

There is serious violence, but CA has law enforcement in place with experience dealing with the Cartels. The power they weild in Mexican Government would be outweighed by the 30% increase in population and the doubling of the size of the Mexican Economy.

Of course the violence that would be required to result in CA leaving the union might result in destruction of that economy. Hard to say.

Canadian Air Force?

Canada is certainly on my list of hopeful places.

If I lived in a parlimentary democracy I would vote for the farthest left party I could find.

As a trans woman I might need somewhere to go and I desperately hope that when that day comes someone like you is in charge if deciding if I get to stay.

It’s changing back. Trump is quietly re-aligning the US with Russia.

I met my wife on OK cupid. 8 years ago though.

Nothing will fundamentally change until people are skipping meals. Not, like, a few people, more than half the people.

The boomers are shit. Because they are old and the elderly are generally shit.

It’s not that they were born shit or taught to be shit, it’s that people with money, greedy, low empathy people, live longer on average.

So the empathetic people doing their thing die off over time and leave the conservative assholes alive and voting.

Also the boomers were exposed to leaded gasoline for the longest period of time.

Gen X wasn’t shit but they are turning to shit because they are getting older and wealthier. Millennials will be the same. There used to be a theory that millennials would break the trend and stay leftists but it was just delayed and as they buy houses and build wealth they are shifting right.

Every generation turns to shit because they get old and the poor die off and the remainder vote to hoard their wealth and fuck the younger generation.

This will keep going until something changes at the level of great. Depression or WW2. A pandemic 20x as bad as COVID might do it. Actual nuclear war. Complete economic breakdown, something that destroys the wealth of everyone and resets the board. Maybe birthrate collapse will do it.

Short of that we will keep having the same fights every decade.

If PTSD sets in, the teabagging will increase.

Smuggling is what it will cause. I’ll risk dying in a hot truck.

If you want to kill a whole lot of people, your police will suffer and eventually quit if you just have the execute people en mass. This happened to the Nazis and it’s the prime reason the gas chambers were constructed.

The police need to feel like they are doing the right thing.

The realistic hope I think is that Cuomo had support from extremely wealthy backers. New York Real Estate and Wall Street, Bloomberg, all backed Cuomo.

The people said no. The money didn’t swing it for Cuomo. The name recognition and the money didn’t swing it for Cuomo. The dynasties didn’t swing it for Cuomo.

Mamdani came in and offered real improvements to people’s lives and they gave him their votes.

They fought like the fight Trump. Sternly worded letters. Op eds. Speeches. Press conferences. Maybe a procedural vote or 2.

You must be really inspired by that energy.

Dems did the same thing to trump. This could go really well.
