The beginning of the end. Its been a ride, see you in a totalitarian canada in 10 years. I'm excited to read the "how did this happen" posts, then, I guess? Good time to start a business providing visas for other, less crazy, countries.

Don't bother moving south, the US seems hell bent on turning itself into some kind of theocratic oligarchy at the moment.

  The constitution prevents that, esp the 2nd amendment of it. Dont be weak and let the religious nutters be the only ones to practice their 2A right.

  That’s still better than totalitarianism.

    It's totalitarianism where God writes the rules

      This is a fantasy either way. I mean, really.

        I mean yes, god is a fantasy, but what are you talking about exactly?

    Perhaps they don't live in the south and you can share another point of view. Or asking specifically what makes them think that's so. Instead of assuming the worst and dismissing them.

      I do live in the south. I'm a lifelong Texan raised around Evangelicals, Baptists and Pentecostals. Pro-life, pro-cop, pro-military God and guns red state to the core people. I've been watching the normalization of extremism and radicalization within my own culture for years. I know whereof I speak.

        Then please do enlighten us how the South is not devolving into an oligarc theocracy. (It's been a while since I left.)

        It is, though. Maybe that was a typo, or maybe you didn't bother reading my entire comment, but that's what I believe. I mean, look at what's happened with anti-abortion laws post Roe v. Wade, with the "anti-woke" backlash leading to book burnings and closing libraries for hosting wrongthink, the whole moral panic over trans "groomers," schools prevented from teaching about slavery in a way that presents it as evil, because that might "victimize white people," the return of school prayer. I don't see how someone can not see the trends or the way the winds are blowing. One of two viable Presidental candidates has openly called for the repeal of the Constitution because of the imaginary stolen election that led to Jan. 6, and he has a chance because half the country at least agrees with him in principle. We have Republicans openly praising Hitler, citing white supremacist conspiracy theories and calling for the end of democracy. And it's normal now. I don't know what else you want.

  If you don't want that then you could live in California or NY.

    If you can afford and ok with junkies, anarchy and your car getting broken into every day.

      There are alternatives, I was just listing a few. Maine might be a good example with a low crime rate.

Beginning? It's been beginning for at least two decades now. People havd been prosecuted for political speech by "tribunals", journalists arrested, bank accounts frozen, all that. They are sleepwalking into totalitarian nightmare, but the public doesn't seem to care.
