    I’ve put my life into wtf mode. I don’t even think it’s good to raise my daughter here anymore.

    It’s now more of a question of do I stay to help my country, or do I leave to help my daughter?

      I have two kids and a visa application submitted, so that should tell you what I think is right for your family. Stay safe and find her a populace that respects women’s autonomy.

    I’d imagine American life expectancy will fall again under Trump. Trump is uniquely capable of making Americans die early.

        To be fair, many conservatives love the idea of the elderly dying off sooner and lowering social security obligations.

          Absolutely, as long as it isn’t themselves, their parents, relatives, friends or anyone else they care about. As far as conservatives are concerned, everyone else can get fucked.

      that just means more social security funds they can pilfer.

      oh, who am i kidding. like that’ll even be there at all once they’ve stolen the entire fund.

    My life has been on hold for like a decade now. But hey, I’ve managed to build a safety fund that’ll last 6 months in case I get fired.

    I left the country because of it. I’m so glad I did.

    If you’re vulnerable, get out while you can, or at least get the process started. Immigration takes time, and even if you have legal residency elsewhere, the logistics of reestablishing yourself in another country are intense. As things only get worse, other countries are gonna have a hard time with the large wave of American immigrants.
