My son and his wife and kid are now safe in Germany for which I thank various deities. USA is going to get worse before it gets better too imo. He mentioned in his last phone call that one of his neighbours went out to buy groceries, but came back with ammunition instead. And that's in a fairly civilised part of a fairly chill city a long way from MAGAland. That was the deciding factor that made him and his wife decide to get out asap. Granted, there's a military base there, and a lot of people who know how to NOT use guns, but still ... If the ordinary decent people are starting to behave like that, anything can happen.
The way trump maga is openly defying judges and the law scares me.
The way they data mined the IRS and OPM is terrifying. They are getting info for a purpose and it's not a good purpose.
Hard agree with that.
and happy your son and fam are safe now
once the depression hits the US maga will be told who to blame , that scares me too
