Humorous jokes, which require a modicum of skill to create, are worthy of a chuckle. His effort failed, if that was in fact the intent.

Actually, as noted in the original comment, I agree. Those who don't leave the US will ultimately be subjugated by self serving authoritarians; or end up in a long, damaging fight. Unfortunately I don't see any reasonable option other than departure, in my case. But no judgement here...I'm not suggesting everyone must make the same choice. Most really don't have the option. Even in my relatively simple case it isn't going to be an easy or cheap solution, but the alternatives are absolutely unacceptable.

Just asking.. and where do you think you move TO. Seems as if the WEF / Authoritarian agenda is just about everywhere in the West.

I still root for a Convention of States or TEXIT.. but I am open to ALL possibilities.

My circumstances are pretty unique, and I have a number of options fortunately, but everyone must consider their personal circumstances. Nonetheless if global authoritarians ever attain their eternal desire to subjugate the world your are right, there will be no refuge. I for one don't believe it will happen, or it certainly won't happen anytime soon. The US is the big fat prize, hence the focus of authoritarian effort and resources. There are peaceful, free places to live well away from the global authoritarian bullseye.

All the places I once considered - from Canada to Mexico to the UK to parts of Europe to Australia have been crossed off my list of escape hatches.

I checked some of those too and came to the same conclusion.

I hope, for your sake, you aren't more than 14 years old.
