      (You personally can seek asylum here ofc, most EU countries’ asylum laws allow sexual persecution as reason and you’ll be protected as long as your life is in jeopardy. Just get over here)

      Yeeaaaahh… You might wanna double check that because last I checked (though I may be misremembering), most anglosphere countries explicitly deny refugees from the US because the US is a “”'safe harbor"“”. Even so, though, unless there’s a guarantee that I’ll be taken seriously (which, considering a lot of what people have said to me, is unlikely), it’s not a great idea to be applying for refugee status until I have a list of places lined up because otherwise there’s a very real possibility that it’ll put a target on my back with the US government.

        Oof, life seems hard for you.

        Might not be specifically Europeans and Canadians unsympathetic to you.

          If you’re being sarcastic about the fact that I’m trying to make sure I’m prepared before I take the jump, fuck off. The difference is between the US government taking pot shots in the dark vs laser targeting me because I triggered one of their systems and am now on their radar. At least there’s a significant chance they’ll miss me when I’m crouching in the dark.

      It’s not all about you either… what kind of stupid take is this, just say you hate the people who live in America and be done with it.

          While you do recognize Orban, the afd, and Lukashenko, you bring them up as a way to suggest that that Americans should not ask for sympathy on Trump because they have done nothing to prevent these a other authoritarian governments from forming. Nobody is asking you or your country to step in and save America from Trump. We all know America did that to its self and has to live with it now.

          But we are all living under systems in which the fascists are dominating the propaganda machine in “the west.” It is not something happening in isolated pocks in the few scenarios you list. You give whiplash by indicating both the the individual has not done anything/enough to prevent genocide and Trump and that it is also not their personal fault. But then you still say that you will support this person once they (or Americans generally) fix the threat to you. But the call is coming from within the house. They can not entirely fix the threat to you even if they managed to fix the entire us political system. It is not just their Democratic system resulting in this.

          They deserve sympathy as we all do or likely will. May we all be saved from the poor decisions of our nationalal peers.

      How do you expect trans folks to get there when there is a secret travel ban in place for them and they are getting their documents stolen and destroyed when they attempt to get the required passport to be able to travel? This has been going on for weeks. Its obviously only going to get harder to leave as more EOs are signed and freedoms eroded.

      You come fix the threat to us, and we’ll be well poised to support you back.

      This is not how a person, or country, should act.
