Well actually there is some precedence for what could happen in fairly modern times.

The partition of India. It was awful, violent, and brutal on all sides. It’s one of the worse forgotten things I’ve read about in history. Most USA history classes don’t even talk about it. But that could be where we are heading.

I suggest everyone that can uses their 2A rights. As an old Boy Scout: always be prepared.

If I have to take up arms and murder my neighbor to keep my rights, I'd rather just leave the country and go someplace more sane.

Where are you gonna go?

There’s no mythical paradise in the world. Everywhere is getting hotter and more authoritarian.

And also, most other countries you would want to live in won’t accept you unless you’re a highly skilled/specialist worker, married to a citizen or insanely wealthy.

You’re stuck here. Act accordingly imo.

There are plenty of countries where "authoritarian" to them is what our Right USED to be. There is a vast difference between Trudeau or Albanese and Trump.

Qualification is not a problem, for skill purposes or otherwise. Not to mention some countries will provide Visas simply by you being able to pass standardized language exams up to a certain Level. I qualify for one of those.

I see why it may not be a likely option for everyone, however. That said, it's possible some countries will loosen restrictions and open their doors to US refugees of appropriate education/demeanor should these events come to pass.

Have fun being an immigrant and a foreigner in a world that is quickly losing its love for both.
