The immediate and obvious lying from the head of the fbi on the Dallas ice shooter this morning has me rattled. They know they can just claim all violence is from the left and people will believe it, despite any evidence.
I can see this continuing to escalate and culminate in canceling or invalidating the 2026 elections.
We are rocketing towards an openly fascist state and I think it’s time to really start looking at options to bail. I’ve posted earlier that I was working on getting my wife’s Italian citizenship, but that was shut down by the Italian govt in May. There are now lawsuits challenging those rulings, so I’ll keep an eye on that, but otherwise, I am probably looking at trying to get a work visa somewhere like New Zealand or Canada. NZ seems easier, as there were plenty of young people there working in bars and such that seemingly got work visas no problem after they visited for a bit and got to know the proprietors, who then sponsored them.
It wouldn’t be glamorous, but I can live simply and it seems preferable to being labeled an enemy of the state in the coming decades.
