“Don’t his supporters know his daughter Ivanka converted to Judaism and married a Jewish person?”

Isn’t Uruguay also that country with the awesome president who lives in a small house and doesn’t want a large salary? I seem to recall reading something like that a while ago...

CORRECTION! Cheeto FART ;)

TBH give it 40 more years. Me? I am just gonna die in the hell fires. Ughhhh sorry being bleak today :(

I hear Ecuador has a decent American ex-pat scene

We moved abroad six weeks before the election, I am in a similar situation.

I clearly don’t think of Ivanka and Jared as typical Jews. I see them more like the Jewish kapos who cooperated and helped suppress other Jews in Nazi Germany’s internment camps.

Plenty of anti-Semites are willing to lean on the “there are some good ones” trope. It’s got a long history.

If I were you I would wait a bit, given how the ultra nationalists are winning strength here in Europe as well. Might not be worth moving if it gets as bad here as it is in America.

It doesn’t matter. He hired Bannon, the Brietbart guy, who is anit-semitic. his speeches specifically referenced anti-Semitic tropes —dog whistles to the alt right. the fact that he has relatives that are jewish only gives him plausible deniability that he is not antisemitic, when he is.

I’d love to know what she thinks about this. Way to go. Hope you’re sleeping easy knowing you’ve emboldened the anti-semites in your home town. You know, where you’re raising your Jewish kids.

Actually, Ivanka, Donald Junior and Eric are all married to Jews. (okay, Donald Junior’s wife is only half Jewish). And, his fourth daughter Tiffany is dating a Jewish guy. Trump’s extended family is literally majority Jewish. Trump now has 3 Jewish grandchildren, 2 half Jewish grandchildren, and likely more on…

Oh god. that story he told about his mom... I was in tears.

That doesn’t count. They will excuse things when it pleases them.

Ya, I get what you’re saying about the difference between actual votes and the electoral college. Aye, many things the media is not talking about are going to suffer.

I live across the border and I’m not going to the US again until long after he’s out of office. Aprox 75% of American voters thought voting Trump or not at all was a great idea. I guess that 75% didn’t bother to think of the fallout, which includes the tourism industry.

Brexit was the canary in the coal mine. What happened there has happened in the US and will happen in France when they elect Le Pen. There’s a wave of white nationalism right now and we seem powerless to stop it.

I’m losing my mind over people who say this stuff is all made up. Because people are never assholes and we all live in a peaceful perfect world filled with intelligent and enpathetic people.

It’s not just happening in the US. Brexit and Trump have made racists and fascists around the world braver. This is one of the reasons why the US election impacts on the world at large.

Yesterday I went out and was super paranoid. Today is no different. I want to fight back but this is a spectacularly painful blow. I feel betrayed by my neighbors even. Its hard when you arent in a big metropolitan city like NYC and youre a POC in a small white suburb. The threat is so much larger. Ugh. I am so…
