I don't know how to explain my feelings about the USA without fueling accusations of anti Americanism
I can start by saying that I love this country and all of its natural beauty, but it’s the people who would allow a despot to achieve power - again, and with full knowledge beforehand - and openly state their intention to vote for him.

I’ve been disappointed by learning about the dark aspects of US history, and my conscience won’t let me leave it alone. How can I, when Jim Crow-era laws are rising from the ashes and First Nations people are being swindled like it was still the 1870s? The present trajectory doesn’t bode well for the future.

While on the subject, I’ve never liked those who present as ‘the ugly American’ abroad. American exceptionalism and hubris are only marginally offset by the likes of the Peace Corps. Am I wrong in being embarrassed by the actions of fellow citizens who demand privileges based on nationality?

My list of grievances is long, ranging from ‘Christian’ nationalism to the military-industrial complex. I can acknowledge the contributions made by science and technology for the betterment of humanity around the world without approving of multinational capitalism destroying lives in the process.

For a long time, I’ve pondered turning my back on the nation of my birth for a more civilized society. The number of people who are okey-dokey with fascism has pushed me to actually consider emigration in a more serious way. And that’s where feathers get ruffled.

Not that my military service matters in this decision, but I put my life on the line for a long time in support of the US Constitution, and it causes great distress that practically half of elected representatives would choose to benefit a former KGB officer over a democratically-elected leader whose nation was attacked by the successor state to the USSR.

So, yeah, I’m considering leaving the USA, whether or not the worst thing possible happens next year. Some suggest I’m taking the coward’s way out - opting to cut & run instead of staying to fight for change. As I already mentioned, I’m trying really hard as it is not to display my contempt even more openly than I do already. I’m gonna get my ass kicked for my trouble one day. If I’m lucky. I don’t think I have to justify my decision to anyone - especially any armchair patriots who question my love for this country.

Every DU loser who says they're going to leave the USA needs a GoFundMe to help get them out. Even still, they don't name a specific location they'd move to.

May I suggest Somalia, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, Afghanistan or any other socialist country they'd be happy in. Hell, I'll even pay for their ONE WAY ticket PROVIDED they give up US citizenship and promise never to come back.

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Many people do not see evil until the gas is flowing into the chamber. That is why they get on the trains in the first place.

I wondered who made up the remaining 33% of supporters, now it is clear.   :banghead:

Much as I'd love for all the DUmbasses to pack up and get the hell out, don't they realize that we're the ONLY country with wide open borders, letting just millions of randos in?  They hear celebrities yap about how they're going to leave.  But they have the money to buy their way into another country.  A DUmmie does not.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Yes sir they are the original injuns that John Wayne and many others have fought against bravely.
