    You mistake me: I think it’s so bad people should leave if they can, or revolt en masse. I just also like talking about history.

            I left three years ago. I saw all this coming, though I still do the voting bit. Sorry it’s come to this.

              We started the process two years ago and I’m helping friends get sorted too. It sucks

                It’s been somewhat traumatic. I had to take things back to where they began two generations ago, return to the roots that once were, though they’re new to me. I’m grateful that you and I could commiserate, at least. It’s validating to speak to others who felt the same.

              I am genuinely happy for you, but I’m poor so I literally don’t have the money to move. The best I can do at this point is put away a little of money when I can (not often) and hope for the best.

                  Same. In my opinion, America—“the Great Experiment”—is at this point mostly a failed experiment. But the goal for which said experiment originally strived is still a worthy one.
