no, it's definitely making me introspective: i am one of the liberal elites. i don't have any loving clue what the average american wants. i assumed that the majority of the country would hold their nose and vote for continued slight improvements instead of hitching their wagon to a burning train and riding it right off the rails

but i was misinformed.

things won't be ok, but here's the thing: they weren't okay under obama either and they wouldn't be ok under hillary

they won't be catastrophic or world-upendingly bad like some people fear, it's just a very loud, very splashy continuation of the status quo

I'll take the other side of this argument. I live 100 miles from the Canadian border, I visited Victoria just a couple of months ago and thought it was lovely. In fact our entire region, Cascadia, is noteworthy because the cultures of the American PNW and British Columbia are very similar. Its basically a pleasant American PNW style city with the crucial difference that it didn't just elect a sex offender as its president.

Canada has better healthcare, better schools, more compassionate people, more informed people. My fiancee and I are thinking about having kids. They'll be mixed raced. Convince me that America is the right place to raise them.

I agree that the current spike in immigration interest is a knee jerk reaction to a shocking event, but I'll also point out that brain drain is a real thing. America has always taken it for granted that they receive the brain drain rather than suffer from it, but what if that changes? We just limp along year after year, not properly educating children, not providing opportunities for people to move up, convinced that it'll just work out and we'll always be on top, always be the place people want to go vs the place people want to leave. If that tides shifts would you hang around? I'm not sure I would.

Just don't try to come back in ten years if we manage to cause a socialist rise and get some real reforms going in America. You agree to that, deal's on.

I unironically wish all of those new and potential parents the best of luck. world got a lot more hosed for your kids.

the kkk wasn't going to go away if hillary won, they would have gone full waco/oklahoma city (things that happened on clinton's watch)

if you're genuinely worried about lgbt rights and protections then you should work to volunteer in your local elections because those will impact lgbt issues far more than anything at the federal level since it took state-level action to influence even obama's opinions on lgbt issues

hmm yes everything will be fine now that the tax cheat bankrupt reality TV star who said obama is not an american citizen and is addicted to uppers is going to be president

Uh, I might... Just because you get a job in Canada its not like you immediately become a citizen, or lose your American citizenship. It takes the better part of a decade and by then if we do it at all we'd have kids in school and will have settled in and would probably be willing to commit at that point.

Basically my point was: it doesn't seem that much different from moving to another state, something Americans are already doing in droves, going from rural to urban tech centers. Going from Louisiana to Seattle was probably a bigger cultural shift than Seattle to Vancouver BC

Jonny seems to get really mad when people improve their situation by opportunistically moving around

it's a strangely regressive attitude coming from a guy who did exactly that, just without moving as far as the people he's upset with
