A truly progressive third party that also actually has a prayer of winning. They would need a groundswell of individual small donors making up much of their campaign funding because mainstream ain’t gonna fund them, so good luck with that.

I’m afraid of this backfiring due to newly re-entrenched & emboldened misogyny refusing to do anything against those raping women for refusing to have sex with them. The incels that have been stewing in their resentment for years are gonna explode, and many will get away with it.

This feels like a bait question to get people to break the new “no politics” rule.

That might explain why I’m going deaf.

Misspelled hooliganism, sorry.

I’m sure it’s not many because as I understand it the legal limitations make it too difficult. I’ve read it’s actually easier to go to Mexico.

I doubt Trump is going to care enough to keep his promises. He ran to avoid jail and for the ego trip from winning - he got both, so he’s gonna coast and do whatever his handlers tell him just so long as they let him take full credit for anything positive.

They will tell him to do things that will benefit them by removing the guardrails on the economy so they can exploit the hell out of it in record time. As such, it’ll initially look good before it burns itself out, by which time most of his term will be up anyway. By that time he’ll have gotten his sycophants to ensure he is fully immune to prosecution, along with a more fully stacked Supreme Court to ensure it stays that way.

Need proof? How much has Mexico paid into the border wall, eh? Plenty of other unfulfilled promises from the first time around to point at, if you need more.

You didn’t mention a VPN, so when you said “moving” I naturally thought you meant physically… .…(ツ)…/

Can’t answer for anybody else, but from what admittedly limited information I’m aware of there are many reasons I’d not want to move to India - Modi, pollution so bad in places you can hardly see through it at times, rampant huliganism hooliganism, sexism, mobs severely beating/killing people (most not even nearly for “justifiable” causes), high unemployment, castes, people still openly using public streets for restrooms, etc. Doesn’t seem like it’s any better than the Ununited States of America.
