I understand what you are saying, but I do think it’s important for Americans to realize that when they make their country less attractive to smart workers and students and entrepreneurs, it affects them as well. Most of the people who will leave the country are going to be immigrants who choose to go back home or go…

If someone is saying “I’m going to permanently leave the country and settle as a permanent resident for the rest of my life in another country” then they better have a pretty clear plan.

Yes that is absolutely true. It is also irrelevant to the options of an American with an American passport who wishes to move abroad. The fact that it’s next to impossible for the majority of Indians to move to the US has nothing whatsoever to do with the ease with which Americans can move to India, for example.

Yup. It’s not Trump so much that I’m leaving as it is my neighbors, friends and American family who seem to think voting for Trump is OK. I don’t want to be around these people.

I think you are confusing moving abroad with trying to become a permanent resident in another country. It’s really not that hard to move to other countries if you just want to go and live there or if you want a job there. Comparing it to how difficult it is for most people in the world to move to the US isn’t really a…

Most people who move abroad do so for family reasons or jobs. Also it’s just not true that it’s THAT expensive. There are plenty of places you could go that are actually a lot cheaper than the US.

I think, sure, some people throw it out there just as an expression of disgust. Like if you say “I’m so frustrated, my head is going to explode.” It’s hyperbole, so I don’t understand the anger in response.

I don’t understand the hostility about this. Some of us do, in fact, have the ability to live in other countries. Some of us are actually binational.

Yeah. I know nothing about his personal life. I did not know that he serially dated models even. As far as I knew, he was a married family man- gay or straight, beats me even.

Hmm... When I think of Django, Blood Diamon and Inception, I don’t think world of white guys. And even though the majority of his movies have far more white guys than non-white guys, I think you could say that for every white actor. This isn’t unique to Leo. In addition, Catch Me If You Can, The Departed, The Aviator,…

What is 19i0s and 19u0s? If that is just a typo, then sorry. I was wondering if it’s some slang thing. And Babble Belt?

Yes that makes sense. I’m a little uncomfortable with the baby-like appearance of the thing having anything to do with whether or not abortions should be legal in the first place. I mean, 90% of abortions are in the first trimester, and 95% are in the first four months. I think that abortions 4 months and under should…

EXACTLY. This article points out that millennials are willing to look outside the establishment for solutions to the problems that their democracy did not offer them. However, they are not becoming racists or fascists or Trump supporters. They overwhelmingly voted for Clinton.

Millennials overwhelmingly voted for Clinton. They are also sick of establishment neoliberal destruction of quality of life for average people, and they are sick of endless war abroad. They are also much more likely to be worried about climate change. So yes, they might have an antiestablishment bend and see the…

Yup, you’re probably right. In my family, I know for sure that three family members have had abortions in the last twenty years. (Who knows how many I don’t know about). One of them had a later term abortion due to severe fetal abnormalities, so the whole family knows about that since she was visibly pregnant and…

No they want neither. They simply want a continuation of the economic neoliberal assault on the population that moves public money into private hands, widens the gap between rich and poor, and allows for eternal war abroad. They want this because it’s how they make money and how they gain power and fame. And the more…

Actual power is way stronger then emotions. What are people going to do? You can only push them so far? History has shown that you can enslave them, make them suffer under regimes that restrict their freedoms, round them up and put them in labor camps, mass murder them, etc. How much will people put up with? That…

Yes. He says so many crazy things that when he does just one of them, it seems normal. So he says he’s going to build a wall, make a muslim registry, deport millions of people and overturn Roe. Then, when he walks all of that back and says “Nah, just kidding. I’m just going to overturn Roe.” then we all respond as if…

Abortion was decided already, as a protected right. And yet the GOP attacks that right all the time and restricts it and, once they get control of SCOTUS, they will over turn it. I have no doubt that Trump and the GOP could revisit flag burning and make it a crime. Loss of citizenship? No, that doesn’t even make…

Yes it’s amazing to see indoctrination and misinformation when it happens, and then there is also just lack of info and ignorance. Fascinating. Thanks for sharing!
