    All of the above. At least that’s how I feel anyway.

    Move into the wilderness. Carve out my own patch and claim it as my own country (with a population of 2…me and my dog)

    I’m automatically the only politician since my dog is horribly corrupt and terrible with taking bribes.

    Run for office is the noble thing. But lately with all the crime all the way to the top, I think hmm maybe I should just commit a few felonies. Get rich off the backs of losers. That’s what we do in America right?

      Robin Hood that shit. Get money from idiots and fund a food bank.

      It worked for Capone. Just don’t commit tax fraud at the same time. The IRS don’t mess around (unless you’re rich enough to control them).

    Yeah, I’ve recently been talking to a friend of mine about both starting a business and fleeing the country. I haven’t figured out how to make either work, much less both simultaneously, but eventually the brainstorming is bound to pay off.

    I’m from the country that is all the way achieved what US is on the path to. The advice that I would give myself from the past: run the fuck away, you can’t fix it, when your country slips to authoritarianism and half of it actively appload it, you can either run away and live, or stay and suffer for nothing. Whatever patriotic bullshit was shat into your head is abusive absurd, you don’t owe your life to whatever land you were born on.
    If you have skills to work, look for a job abroad, if you don’t - learn, learn languages, and run the fuck away.
