There this trend with Americans where they pretend that a presidential election is the beginning of the purge and they’ve got to make plans or else they’re doomed.
I remember back in 2008 when a bunch of conservatives declared that America was doomed because a Kenyan muslim was in power and that his plan was to crash the economy to the ground with the recession he created… and so they were making escape plans to go to Australia or wherever… that didn’t happen.
In 2016, liberals famously declared how they were going to escape Trump’s fascist regime by moving to Canada or Europe in mass before he starts WWIII… literally nothing happened.
In 2020, both liberals and conservatives declared that if the candidate they didn’t want won, they would leave the US to go elsewhere in the West because clearly the country has no future because Trump/Biden will strip them of their rights and run the country into the ground with their incompetence… but nothing happened then either.
Now, in 2024, we have the same candidates from 2020 but more senile and old. Everybody is claiming that if Biden wins he’ll sleep walk us into WWIII and if Trump wins he’ll turn America into a fascist state. Both of these are unfortunate possiblities, however, will we see a mass exodus? History tells us no, we won’t.
But seeing all the dramatic reactions is still pretty funny.
It’s true lmao
