    That’s dumb. If there’s ever a Hitler-level problem a reasonably fit guy like him can just cross through the woods into canada in several places. Stay and fight. Elon’s defeat in Wisconsin today shows that as lame as it sounds, voting does work. If you actually do it.

      what do you mean “if there’s ever”? People are being blackbagged off the street in broad daylight by secret police and sent to torture prisons…

        Yeah but that’s not going to entrench Trump’s power since those people can’t vote. I’m talking about stuff like Jan 6, but successful. Cancelling elections, arresting opposition candidates, etc. Everything they’re doing now will come to an end after the next election.

          Please tell me this user name and these comments are a bit.

          Moving abroad is different to giving up citizenship and doesn’t remove your right to vote or fund candidates.

            In a sense it is a bit, in that it encourages people to call me out for being wrong as here. And in this case, I admit I made an assumption that is unclear in hindsight, which was that the guy was leaving permanently.
