    America under Trump is still better than most of the world. Take it from someone born in a 3rd world country.

    And if you have the qualifications and/or skills necessary to migrate to 1st world countries like in Europe… you’re making a good wage here and have little reason to leave here anyways.

      What a clueless take on a complex situation! To top it all off your argument is “b-but some countries are worse!!”

      Brilliant!

        You can try actually saying something instead of the mild attempt at being disparaging

        I’ll repeat it

        a) the countries that most working class Americans can escape to aren’t any better and functionally worse. you ever live in a country that doesn’t have hot water or A/C?

        b) the countries they want to go to won’t accept them. have you ever tried to immigrate anywhere? it’s not simple and there are requirements that most Americans simply will not meet

        The argument of the submission is that people would leave because things would be worse here. It makes perfect sense to point out that it you leave, it’s likely going to be worse, maybe in a few way or maybe in many.

      america under trump is better than uh, iran, probably. any place that actively seeks out it’s citizens to silence them. Yeah.

      For now.
