I am someone born in the USA and white and male, so I am less at risk of harassment and brutality than others.
My take on things is that Trump is probably a Russian asset and Russian leadership probably wants a US civil war (but I don’t have proof).
Midterms are still many months away. I am pretty sure Democrats realize that Trump wants conflict and they are trying to just wait for Midterms.
I am scared and feel like civil war could still happen. I have no children, few ties to any area, and only work remotely. I live in a very liberal area. I am mostly a poor person and have less than $25,000 saved.
I also have been arrested and held in terrible conditions in a notorious jail, experienced physical and emotional abuse there, and fear being arrested again and experiencing more abuse. Some of the things I experienced meet definitions of torture although not egregious physical torture (iron maiden type stuff). I am also gay and effeminate and worry I could receive worse treatment if involuntarily held for mental health reasons or for poverty because of homophobia by religious people.
Should I be trying to flee the USA now? If so, would Canada be safe? Is there anywhere else I could go to? I could claim asylum in a Northern European country but am concerned about the Russian War of Aggression.
I do not know if I am over-reacting. Will I still have time to flee if I wait and the situation gets worse?
I don’t think you’re overreacting given that a white male was just shot, as a protester, in cold blood just minutes ago.
Yeah, they shot that white lady the other day as well and, even though America is heavily misogynistic and ICE members are most likely even more so, the signs are there. The American empire is collapsing, if things were bad before (and they were, I’ve seen some videos of your cities, they’re abandoned or basically Sodom and Gomorrah but with more fent) you don’t wanna stay for what’s coming next. I mean, y’all got Gestapo over there and billions were recently passed in funding. Billions. If you don’t move you either join ICE and enjoy some privileges, kinda like veterans in the US did, before going to Hell as you should, or you suffer what’s coming.
