People in the US are gonna see news like this and their first thought somehow still isn't "how do I expedite emigrating"

People are going to go "haha, what a clown show" and not realize the clown show they are laughing at... is a tent burning down... and they're in that tent right now

Americans can't just emigrate somewhere. What a silly ass thing to say. The majority, in fact, would not be able to.

I don't get it. I began planning my exit almost six years ago when it was fully obvious that merely voting couldn't fix that country. We still vote from afar. The ones who stayed have a fight on their hands whether they admit it or not.

Should I have stayed and fought? My family and my wife's were only Americans for one generation each. Our grandparents got swept up in the country's postwar economic might, and we grew up in the scraps of what remained while our parents' generation let Reagan accelerate a decades-long heist.

We've no illusions about the history of the UK or its current trajectory, but at least there aren't heaps of guns lying around. Sheesh.
