Honestly a little surprised it took this long, if only for the guns alone.

That’s what I am thinking!! I legit am a human without a state if “Mango Mussolini” in fact revokes the 14th amendment! Even thought Drumpf and Elon came here ILLEGALLY when my dad came here with a sponser from a church and became a citizen right away! GIVE ME MY TAX MONEY BACK THEN from 15-35 years on… if not then I am an American! I pay taxes and born with a SS# so wtf! If not GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK or F off! Like Drump said about egg prices, “shut up!”. From the douche lord himself!

FUCK AMERICA; WE ARE FUCKED! (New motto)

But really, where would I go?!?!

I once camped at a hick RV park on a lake. One of the RV’ers had erected a flag pole that had an American flag and below that a flag that read, “WELCOME TO THE SHIT SHOW.”

I think those flags should always fly together.

I would say come here to Canada, but… 🤷‍♂️

As an American I kind of agree.

well yes but have you considered that he’s the group laws protect but do not bind, and you’re part of the group laws bind but do not protect?

most you’ll get out of these fuckers is a free camping trip. or really satisfying revenge.

It depends.

Are you:

A. a rich person that have a lot of money ready to be invested in another country?

B. a “skilled worker”?

C. have close relatives in the target country to sponsor you?

D. be able to marry someone of another country? (EU allows same-sex marriage, you have… options… 😉)

E. have a claim to citizenship via jus sanguinis?

Otherwise, I’m sorry, you’re stuck in here. 👀

I think I have a claim of jus sanguinis, but its People’s Republic of China… so nah I’ll pass.

Fine, male mail order bride it is. No kiss on mouth!

garbagebagel@lemmy.world on 11 Mar 2025 07:39 collapse

I understood what jus sanguinis meant from context but oh my god does that sound gross. I never knew it was called that.

It makes me think of like a drippy blue rare stake which like, delicious, but also not how I’d want to claim my heritage.

Washington’s governor has stated that women and trans rights will be upheld against the federal government’s policies. It’s not fleeing, because we’re fighting.

ayyy@sh.itjust.works on 11 Mar 2025 06:43 collapse

Him and what financial army? US discrimination is insidious because it’s mostly done financially. For example most gender-affirming healthcare is not covered by insurance so you have to be in big debt or already rich just to survive.

Flames5123@sh.itjust.works on 11 Mar 2025 07:06 collapse

Gender affirming care is covered by a lot of insurance in Washington.

Great. I love that for us. I always said they’d let you keep your guns as a distraction and dismantle all your other rights right from under your nose

LordCrom@lemmy.world on 11 Mar 2025 01:41 collapse

Yep… And of course the guns you get to keep are water guns compared to the firepower the gov and military get to own. Your desert eagle hangun vs the Apache helicopter with huge canons and guns and missiles …

Katana314@lemmy.world on 11 Mar 2025 02:51 collapse

While the “Who would win Batman or Superman or US army” posturing is interesting to some…I have been finding fewer and fewer reasons to expect a military confrontation.

We saw one during the George Floyd protests - Trump sent the National Guard to quell protestors. It…didn’t do much, and the Guard sort of stood around, acknowledging free speech.

I have also read testimonials from those in the Army - while it is true that the (incompetent) very top new leadership, and many grunts are die-hard MAGA, the vast majority of the leadership structure is disciplined and educated in the constitution. There’s supposedly already been briefings delivered on “DEI” subjects that indicates the officers are still very vocally in support of them, and they in turn are still loyally respected by their units. In short: An attack within America against Americans would feel blatantly against what most of them stand for.

ICE, on the other hand, is a fringe set of whackjobs - and thankfully they’re mostly cowards that only accomplish much by stealing in and out like burglars.

LordCrom@lemmy.world on 11 Mar 2025 04:29 collapse

Anyone on here who shouts for civil war or revolution has never watched 2 dozen Apache helicopters approaching them ready to go. Normal, untrained, unequipped citizens stand no chance. It’s either going to be a bloody resistance, think northern Ireland, or guerilla war, think Vietnam.

Or, any coup against the US gov would need to get the military aligned against current structures… That also leads to a military controlled gov…think burma.

No of these are good options unless you are facing extreme circumstances with no other hope

comfy@lemmy.ml on 11 Mar 2025 00:41 next collapse

A couple of centuries late. Even if we’re only talking about their own citizens.

Reminder that slavery is still conditionally legal in the constitution (13th Amendment)

We should have been added when we supported a genocide in the modern era. Its hard to imagine when we will ever live that down. We join the likes of Nazi Germany and Israel with that one. Who needs republicans when we have zionists in charge of the DNC.

Shareni@programming.dev on 16 Mar 2025 08:13 collapse

You should have been added after like a century of constantly invading countries, funding extremists, setting up “revolutions” promoting their puppets, causing genocide, and doing war crimes nobody can persecute you for. Who needs zionisists when the entire country is a temple to unrestricted capitalism run by oligarchs.

Agreed. Although it seems different this time.
