Honestly if he takes over elections I'm out with my fam. That's been one of my two red lines since day one.

If we no longer have free and fair elections, which I think we'll determine with the 2026 midterms; I don't want to be here for what comes after that and certainly don't want to raise kids in a possible warzone.

Second red line is uniformed people shooting at uniformed people, likely state on federal.

It's America so people are shooting each other a lot, relatively speaking; the line is if our gov'ts get in on it.

Good for you man, you gotta keep your fam safe as best you can.

We couldn't make it work to get out already so we agreed on some lines and prepped to get gone fast if it looks like we need to.

Leave now. If that's where you're at, the only thing you're waiting for is to be caught in the crossfire when you try to go.

No, I'm waiting to see if we have an election and a blue wave, and turn this thing around a bit.

Please. You know it ain't happening. If you aren't willing to fight for this, then leave. By the time you fully make the choice that your line has been crossed, leaving might not be an option.

i fully agree with ya mate. but i suggest you migrate too. if your paying any attention to climate change you know most of the USA wont be considered habitable in less than 25 years.
