If Trump is reelected
Are you moving out of the U.S.?
I'm seriously considering it might be time to get out before it's too late. I've learned enough from history that most people wait till it's too late, and I don't want to be stuck in a shithole of a country.
You're not going to stay in a job that does not appreciate you, why remain in a country that that does not either?

I may or may not move, but I will probably kiss the nation goodbye in my own way. This ain't the America I enlisted for.

Nope. Trump is only one person.
I'd love to move to Bonaire, but not because of Trump. I jut like the culture. But I have no desire to learn another language (Dutch, Papiamento). And I like American culture. I'd miss it here.
Is this sig thing on?

I'm not going anywhere, regardless.
The country will survive Trump, although the climate may not.

Jesus Christ, it's like you guys are worried that Trump is going to be president for the next 100 years of tyranny or something? He's only gonna have 1 more term, lasting 4 years, and then you get someone else.

Nope. I think he's terrible as a president but personally, in my day to day life, I've not been that bent out of shape.
My kid pisses me off more than Trump.

Exhibit A for Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Given that the economy is booming under his tenure, I do wonder how you'd react to a president that actually destroyed the US economy?

Rich people enjoying their special welfare under Republican rule isn't indicative of the economy booming.

Look at the big picture, aractus. The national debt has bloomed far beyond anyone's nightmares. The bill will come due.
The environmental protections have been knocked to shambles. That bill will come due too.
The supreme court is all set to roll back human rights for decades to come. That one will be hard to calculate.
I'm not panicking, but the damage is on many levels.

Okay, firstly the US national debt is nowhere near crisis. It's only at a low-midrange level historically speaking. But sure it would be good to address it.

Okay, so some of those "protections" were removing unhelpful red tape - such as removing California's different emission standards for cars. Now you might say "more pollution, lower air quality" etc - true. But manufacturers need to be able to make to one standard for the whole of the US, not different standards for different States - that's inefficient. It's the whole argument why there's a European Union as well - if every EU member state had their own vehicle emission standard it'd be a manufacturer's nightmare.

It's not at all Trump's fault or doing that appointments to the highest court in the US are political. Obama could have led by example, but he didn't.

LOL, 23 trillion is "low-midrange" of what, "historically speaking" ?
What a pile of shit.

The only time the debt-to-GNP ratio has been higher in American history was during WWII.

Booming? For who? His billionaire buddies maybe. Apparently you don't care about the poor bastards who are struggling to get by.
Lesson number one is not to believe a single word that motherfucker says.

Only for the 1% and high-salaried people. Thousands of people are getting laid off due to retail businesses going under, and there isn't a safety net.

Inefficient ? So? There are 50 states each with its own constitution and laws. The United States of America are precisely that.

Of course you're not panicking, you're in Oz. Many who live here are.

It is McConnell's fault that the Senate wouldn't consider Obama's appointments. That's what was unprecented.

Where's the "I already did two years ago button"? The question for me is if I'm moving back.

Still, that's the kind of shite I've come to expect from the guy who claimed China was on the opposite side of the world from Australia.
