    It’s also hard to leave. Many of us would leave if we had the means. Even for those who wish to stay and fight the blossoming authoritarianism must wage a nearly hopeless battle against powerful disinformation machines.

      Yeah, no offense, but nobody cares about how you cope or whether you leave. This isn’t about you.

      We’re all pretty ok with you guys stewing in your own fascist soup. You made that bed. The concerning part is how it’s affecting everybody else. If this was entirely a you problem I would be much less worried.

          It is.

          But I’m not making it worse and we’ve staved it off so far.

          So I will keep trying to not make it worse.

          Which American leftist cosplayers spewing self-defeating, self-righteous maximalist crap to get Trump elected can’t say.

          Trust me, I would much rather be dealing with their self-righteous crap than with Trump. But since we’re here, and since we tried to tell them, at least I can pop up to go “told you so” before I go back to blocking Americans and their nonsense from my feeds and try to survive their ongoing spiraling.

      Exactly. You know how many countries US trans people can get asylum in? Zero. None. Zilch. There is not a country on Earth where a trans person in the US could qualify for asylum, even considering the vast rollback of trans rights currently underway. And if a member of a targeted minority group can’t get asylum status, then forget about nearly anyone else.
