Are you moving to Canada when Trump and/or Clinton is elected President?

[korn469]

While I think both of them are horrible I won't move. I think 8 years of Hillary poses a true threat to end of our republic and the official start of an oligarchy, especially if followed by Chelsea, or a Bush or a Kennedy. Realistically, I have neither the money, nor the contacts, no any support system to move to Canada. If the US does collapse, I'd rather move to the Swiss Alps and see if I could apply as a refugee in the EU.

I just moved to Florida because every candidate loves a swing state.

[Jon Miller]

I already live (part of the year) in Chile.

EU is ****, Switzerland on the other hand, is the best governed country on the planet.

Eh. Our country survived the Adamses and the Roosevelts. I'm not sure we've ever had to survive a Trump, though.

[giblets]

Maybe we'd survive Trump, if the presidency loses a lot of its power and influence during Trump's first term.

[pchang]

So you assume an election and re-election?

[My Wife Hates CIV]

No. and the rest of my DL gang agrees with me.

[BeBMan]

I assume he'll change to SaneTrump (or just to SomewhatMoreSaneTrump) mode when he actually has to do real business.

Because of that most of his followers will begin to think he's a traitor to the true nutjob cause which means they'll support an even more absurd candidate next time. This starts a cycle which over time increases the chance that someone becomes prez who really messes up everything big time

[pchang]

This will just lead to the implosion of the Republican Party.

[Elok]

Implosion is doubtful. They've always had a stronger sense of tribal loyalty than the Dems, to the point where they've been able, after a long, bitter primary season, to rally around the most preposterous candidate possible. Meanwhile Bernie and Hillary supporters are still fighting. I could see the GOP evolving into the core of something like a true fascist movement, but not simply withering away. More likely the coalition will complete the change it's already begun with Trump, and turn into the party of the angry nativist poor. Whether the Dems win or not, they'll have to adapt to the new system too.

[ZEE]

Elok is a nerd.

[Sava]

a true fascist movement

would love to hear your definition of this

[kentonio]

No but if the UK goes for Brexit, I'm considering getting French citizenship when I complete my 5 years residency! (and learn how to speak French..)
