Why NOT to vote Republican

Why not to vote Republican--because they have let a Mafia boss take over their party, and co-opt it for domestic terrorism.

Thank You, Tybee. I could not say this any better myself.

Sad if a coup attempt goes unpunished. Doesn’t bode well for our future.

Thank You! I could not agree more - but it will push a scattered few to start over elsewhere, so there's that as an upside.

It will be nearly impossible for many to start over elsewhere based on a number of factors... cost, language and barriers to entry... to name a few. Personally, I will be checking Ecuador. There are expat enclaves, good medical care, use the US dollar and easy to travel back to the US, if needed. Need to check the eligibility requirements, as well as, how much more expensive it has gotten since the last time I checked. It may no longe be feasible.

Ecuador is on our radar, too - and yes it's still cheap and health care in the cities is high quality and without cost terror as in the United States. I would live there, personally, but it is not my first choice.

If enough of the right people leave I might not have to worry about mask mandates coming back.

I don't even know how I'd make a living in a whole new country. So I don't think it's happening. I mean that's pretty much as basic as it gets. It's hard enough to make a living in this country.

By the by I do idly think where I could get in, maybe Israel (right of return), maybe Denmark (partner's mom is a citizen). But is either really particularly practical?
