Fuck, this his hard. As a father of a gay child, and a trans child, our immediate plans are passports.
You forgot the big fat fucking asterisk.
asterisk = straight, white, hetero male of upper-middle class or grater
It still fits.
Everyone else gets the grater or meat grinder.
"Free" is used in the same way like the "Democratic" in "Democratic People's Republic of North Korea"
*Visa. Passport won't be enough to travel to the EU and select other countries in 2025.
EITAS isn't a visa, and you can do it without travel plans and it lasts 3 years, tied to your passport.
As you know, we're in a similar boat. Thankfully, we can get to Britain and stay (in theory) but the prospect of telling my elderly mother and my wife's family goodbye for the last time, finding the money, finding new jobs with my health issues, just downsizing so that we can move...
But we are doing it.
I hope you and your family find safety and my best wishes to all of you.
Good luck, friend.
Thank you. And to you too. Good luck to all of us.
Jeez that's sad to read. I wish you all good luck on the voyage to a less a hostile country
Get out before January if you can
Imagine being Latino in a red state.
They've already done it to gay and trans people. Last time the Muslim ban was foiled by the courts. Now that the Republicans control the presidency, the SC, the house and Senate, little stands in their way. Project 2025's Schedule F will see to that.
Some states did an amazing self-own tonight, and unfortunately both teams are going to endure some severe beatings. I feel absolutely sick right now. Poor us. Poor Ukraine. Poor middle east. Taiwan is so fucking boned.
Broooo what kills me is how many Latino men voted for this!! I saw a statistic that was like 59%
Trump didn't mean them when he said "they" were poisoning the blood of our country.
And, of course, they will never get rounded up and put in a camp. As long as they have the proper identification on them that shows they're a citizen when checked. And the cop checking will believe that identification is both genuine and not stolen.
Imagine being Latino and trans in a red state. Those people definitely exist. I am very scared for them.
Italy has a digital nomad visa now. Cost of living is so so but if you can freelance it's not a terrible place to live as an expat. Source: am US dual citizen living here. Feel free to pm me with any qs
She might've toned it down a bit since she got elected, but Meloni is a fascist too.
Yes, but Italians are incompetent (at least their government). That's the one relief
I am so fucking sorry you are in this shit and I wish you and your children good luck going forward. Sadly it seems like you will need it.
I wish you the best with your anger issues.
Yes, any criticism is just people with anger issues, that's sorta my point guy.
Ed: also notice I get civility hits from everywhere else, the only ones that contain personal bias are yours.
Care to share an example of this? I'm all for learning and growing, and maybe we can resolve this hostility in a non-hostile manner.
Read the mod log dude, we've had this conversation in private chat three times.
The last strike and subsequent ban were because you disagree with an interpretation of mine. Not that it's factually wrong, not that it's hateful, that you disagree and thus you removed it.
The most recent conversation we had (read each image bottom-up while reading the images one at a time, from top down, because Lemmy):

Next, for full context - our first interaction in DMs:

Finally, the guy you were arguing with I removed comments, for the same reason.
I had completely forgotten about this until you attacked me here.
Ahh. I had to scroll for a while to find it, but this was my last message on that topic:
Opponent and enemy are the same in the goal, but not always the same in the motive. You try to beat the opponent/enemy, in the method proscribed in the actions being taken.
I'll be hopping another client to post full screenshots of all our discussions, as right now, I'm being painted as an ass, without context.
You're proving my point, that's a ban because you didn't like interpretation, not because I violated a rule and most certainly not because it is factually wrong.
Ed: it should be noted that the context you're arguing for is that I should violently hate jd Vance because we have different opinions and positions. He's not my enemy, he's an opponent. Your proving you banned me because I won't say I violently dislike jd Vance. Come on bud, you're smart enough to see that is bias.
that wont get you anywhere.
It’ll get you out of the nation.
only for a few weeks.
That's all one needs at this point
It will though, the US passport offers a ton of visa-free destinations. Although it's not immigration,it definitely helps
I imagine that's going to change. Why would anyone welcome someone who statistically was very likely to have voted for a fascist? America will never be respected ever again
You havent been respected in a long time.
Which country are you from? A respected one?
