1. You won't be alone!!!

2. Unfortunately anger kills and not just from resultant violence...

I never expected such a rapid downhill trajectory for the US and its democracy. It is terrifying to see how damned vulnerable we are. Nonetheless, I will fight.

3. i will talk my teen grand dtrs into coming to canada with me..

4. Staying or leaving - both of these can be good choices

Democracy loving emigrants and exiles can help us from the outside and work to respect and strengthen democracy in the countries they move to .

Those who stay contribute directly to countering fascism and building democracy here.

The choices are personal and each choice can be a good path to follow.

5. Climate change is happening much faster then earlier predicted.

6. I will stay and fight.

My family has been here since the early 1600s, and I have 25 lineal ancestors that fought in the Revolutionary War. Their bones lay in this soil, and some day, so will mine. My goal is to ensure that the liberty and freedom they fought for remains in this land.

7. I may have to leave my state if they outlaw being gay.

I am in a same sex marriage and have been with the same partner for 36 years.

First they will take away my marriage.
And then they will bring back sodomy laws that make just being gay illegal.
If (or when) that happens I may have to flee the state as a refugee to another state.

Anyone that thinks what I have outlined is impossible isn't awake.

10. THIS 100%

SoonerPride are you from OK? We seem to be about the same age. Did your parents threaten you with; involuntary commitment to a mental institution, shock treatment, sterilization, lobotomy? Mine did, the preacher told them to do it to save my soul. I made it to 18 by sheer determination and a week later left the state.
We KNOW.

[SoonerPride]

12. Yes I'm in Oklahoma.

My parents didn’t react that harshly.

But I was attacked outside a gay bar and lost my spleen and almost died.

Because some red necks hated me for just existing.

8. "I don't need a ride, I need ammunition."--Zelensky

I don't own any guns, and I won't use physical violence, but I will never leave and I will
resist any BS from the Right as long as I live. Not leaving my country.

9. My father fought the Nazis in WWII with the 1st Armored Division

First against Rommel's troops in North Africa. Then into the meat grinder that was Italy, beginning at Anzio. What kind of daughter would I be if I cut and run when faced with the petulant little Nazi boys that presume the right to rule me today? This is MY country! And I'm MAD AS HELL that they would take away my right to determine my future and my right to my own BODY! I will fight them to my dying breath!

11. My wife and I talked about retiring early (mid-50s right now),

selling the house, and moving to Mexico. We will probably look into our ability to do this in the next handful or fewer of years. I don't need to deal with this shit anymore.
