I have to admit I completely misjudged American sentiment. It's not over yet but man, I can't believe what I'm seeing.
@Tacitus_Kilgore I fucking hate this, back to looking to expat to try and keep my kids safe. I have no idea how or where…but it’s living Rome falling.
I am so very disappointed in my fellow US citizens. I knew we should have left in 2016. It would have been easier to expat—now the numbers are against me.
Fuuuuuuuck
—pardon, I am having a moment—-
2016 was when I decided to leave Canada. Took me a year to save up after the call, but that November election, and the campaign leading up to it, brought out shameful sides of white Canadians, too: emboldened racism and xenophobia that sickened me, and left me with the feeling that it was time to learn more about discourses elsewhere in the world, to fortify myself in an understanding of what we need to heal.
Eight years later... we're still so far from growth.
