Don't get me wrong, I would love to leave the US, but I'm just trying to avoid homelessness at this point - I can't financially afford to pack up my life and move to another country. I can't even afford to get a passport. I'm mentally preparing for the incoming tariffs I suppose, it's possible I'll have to get a second job when they hit just to be able to like eat instant noodles every day. I'm trans, and do worry about what that will mean for my safety under this administration. Tension is high, there's a lot of anti-trans propaganda being spread - and being totally honest we cannot ignore the possibility of concentration camps (especially with how much donald wants to deport every immigrant). The US has been fascist for a long fucking time, but now they're saying all the quiet parts out loud.
