I've been thinking about it and trying to react honestly to this entire thread. I will probably be impacted more negatively than the overwhelming number of people by this election. I am willing to discuss any legitimate reason for leaving the country because of it, but I don't see a reason for all of the doomsaying, hopelessness, dispair, and disrepect. I don't mind being called a clod, but doesn't that meet our current standards for being nasty?
I don't read a whole lot of discussion here involving the actual reasons for leaving now and because of the election (your earlier post did have some listed, but no one is writing about that), I see a lot of complaining and complaining about the complaining.
I'd be happy to discuss anyones reasons for talking about leaving. Yours include the America you see coming re: prison rates, social violence, and intolerance and others. I agree with some of those thoughts, disagree with others, but think that talk of leaving the country is a little high-pitched and unproductive. If that makes me a clod or nationalistic, sorry.
If you want people to really seriously see these things as reasons to pack up, shouldn't the arguments be fleshed out a little bit?
