    Thatā€™s dumb. If thereā€™s ever a Hitler-level problem a reasonably fit guy like him can just cross through the woods into canada in several places. Stay and fight. Elonā€™s defeat in Wisconsin today shows that as lame as it sounds, voting does work. If you actually do it.

      what do you mean ā€œif thereā€™s everā€? People are being blackbagged off the street in broad daylight by secret police and sent to torture prisonsā€¦

        Yeah but thatā€™s not going to entrench Trumpā€™s power since those people canā€™t vote. Iā€™m talking about stuff like Jan 6, but successful. Cancelling elections, arresting opposition candidates, etc. Everything theyā€™re doing now will come to an end after the next election.

          Please tell me this user name and these comments are a bit.

          Moving abroad is different to giving up citizenship and doesnā€™t remove your right to vote or fund candidates.

            In a sense it is a bit, in that it encourages people to call me out for being wrong as here. And in this case, I admit I made an assumption that is unclear in hindsight, which was that the guy was leaving permanently.
