Canadian who has been living in the US for 5 years. Perm resident but not naturalized. Arrived a year and a bit before Trump 2016 win.
This election was so polarizing I am very afraid the country can recover from it.
I am worried enough we have bug out bags packed, with critical documents, as I expect this could easily escalate to a civil war as both sides are convinced they are right; and more worrisome is that the other side is so completely corrupted that they are not Americans or humans and should be taken out like the trash.
We have Trump who will not concede and will fight this to his last moment; and then will continue to fight it from the side lines.
We have AOC on twitter asking people to send names for her registry of Trump supporters for future retribution. You know who else kept such lists? Hitler, Mao, Mussolini.
Really scary times down here. Much worse than when Trump won in 2016.
The US needs all the help, prayers, and luck it can muster right now to find it's way through this.
> Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future
> Lol at the “party of personal responsibility” being upset at the idea of being responsible for their behavior over last four years
Which I’m sure all will agree is not how you have characterized it.
Keeping such lists is wrong on many levels; and for a member of congress to suggest and support such a thing is beyond comprehension. I suggest going and standing in Dachau or similar places and reflect on what such lists have been used for in the past.
Thx - unsuccessfully tried to find it earlier... .
You're right, (directly) not so extreme as mentioned upstream.
At the same time I think that mentioning "archiving" is in my opinion very dangerous especially when stated by a politically exposed person. I don't like that at all.
I don't think that his/her (upstream) fears derived by that tweet are unfounded.
EDIT: btw., I think that in general the "spirit" after these elections should not be to create further divisions (persecution in this case), but to unify and to find a middle ground between parties to make things work.
