Trump is persecuting us. Terrorizing us, and we are in a war with him. That qualifies us to get into Canada!

I believe as non-Canadians you have to show the finances to support your self - enough money in the bank.
I believe in staying here and keeping what is ours. Living in California, there is a lot to fight for and a lot at stake. I fully expect the drumpts to come after CA in some way to punish us for not voting for him, for having a blue state that is financially healthy. I'm not giving that up.

(81,308 posts)The Twitter page is full of abusers who sneer and scoff and laugh at my state and all the "libtards" and other derisive language.
If we vote to secede, I bet they'd be laughing out the other side of their mouths when they realize WE are a donor state. Out of every $1.00 we pay in federal taxes, we only get 78 cents back. If we secede, that means we can keep our money and not have to keep propping up the red states anymore. California ranks either 5th or 6th in the economies of THE WORLD. I think we'd get by okay, even if trump tries to levy penalties against us or withhold federal funding. FUCK him.
FUCK him.
Just FUCK him.

(5,730 posts)I hope he invites us though. We need to keep our US citizenship for SS and Medicare. Dual would be good. Canada is a moral country. The US is an international embarrassment. Please Trudeau. We will be good citizens.

(5,730 posts)to get the pulse. In Mexico, first, they were saying most Americans did not support Trump, and Hillary won by 3 million votes. The pulse has changed to Americans let him be elected, did not vote, did not speak out, etc. He represents America. It is a more generalized anger toward America now. DT is not only insulting and bullying them publicly, and telling them they are so bad that we need a wall, even if there is now a net emigration south, he now threatens to destroy their economy, and he can. No one but DT could have alienated our friend, passive Mexico. I do not blame the Mexicans though. They had to stand up. As do the Iranians, Iraqis, and on and on. He is destroying that which we aspire to stand. After 9 days, this, what after a months. He doesn't slow down. He gains momentum from conflict and bullying.

(9,696 posts)Before Trudeau, harper was trying a lot of the stuff drumpts is now doing, only in a more "Canadian" way - less obvious. He was shutting down scientists ability to talk to the public, etc.
Here's some info on Trudeau:

We need to find the American version of Trudeau.

I campaigned for him for the Senate, though i am not in Missouri. He almost won, but for the last couple of weeks target by NRA and RW big bucks
