I’m weary of the “if Trump wins the election I’m leaving the country” crowd, mostly because they’re usually people I’d love to see leave and they never do, but also because it’s just “virtue” signaling.
But seriously, I’m concerned what’s going to happen to this country in the next few years, no matter who wins. I don’t see any good outcomes.
If Trump wins again, the riots and unrest will get even worse. The leftist revolutionaries behind the riots are not going to say, “Oh, well, we lost” and give up. They’re going to try to burn everything down. They have a quasi pagan (and very stupid) idea that order spontaneously springs from chaos.
If Biden wins, our slide into a world controlled by intolerant woke extremists will get even worse.
Some commentators are saying we’re headed for civil war. I’m not sure how that would play out, but it would be ugly.
Conservatives sat idly by while ridiculous nonsense took root in the universities, and from there it has infected our entire culture. At this point, I think the only thing that can stop it is a religious revival. But there are very few religious leaders who are worth much. (On the other hand, it’s not that Luther was so great. He was just the match that lit the straw.)
If things go badly, it might be time to flee. But … where? Canada is more woke than here. Friends say there are parts of Mexico that are very nice.
Mexico.
My wife is from Mexico. Says there is no part of Mexico she wants to live in. I thought we might even retire in Mexico, but no. I paid off the house in Mexico, but we’re not going to live there now. Why Canada or Mexico? Why not Texas? Or Georgia? Or Oklahoma or Arkansas? Or Arizona? Or Montana or Wyoming? Hell, why not Utah? Utah isn’t in danger of going Woke. In Northern Michigan you can be free as you want to be.
It’s funny, but I hear about folks on the right saying they’re going to move if Biden wins. Adios.
The countries that appeal to me are Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, and maybe Spain.
Yes, of course I would rather Texas or Wyoming to Canada or Mexico. All depends on how bad it gets.
For most of my life there’s been a voice in my head saying, “it won’t get much worse. People have to see how dumb this is. Things can only go so far and then there’s a backlash / correction.”
Now I’m not so sure. Large groups of people believe things that are so incredibly stupid, it’s … unbelievable.
