She’s a US citizen and white. You bet you could be next, no matter how insulated you think you are

I moved to Mexico when Trump was elected the first time. I was being proactive in ensuring my safety (I’m a white red head. It was not my race that made me feel unsafe. It was my politics.)

But the Mother Fucker is now about to start a war with Latin America leaving me vulnerable. You can’t run from MAGA level of hatred and greed. Trump’s evil has reach people don’t understand. I know it is old to keep referring to Hitler, but that man created world wide trama and sorrow. Trump is Hitler reincarnated.

As an Australian, I will say we are uniquely structured geographically to avoid most of the BS.

u/drainbamage1011 Jan 08 '26

You, uh, got a spare bedroom for rent?

u/Confident-Fold-5082 Jan 08 '26

Great question 😂

Want to adopt a middle aged American?

u/Imapatriothurrrdurrr Jan 08 '26

Spare bedroom with no huntsman spiders?

u/BiNumber3 Jan 08 '26

Gonna have to get comfy with the spiders lol

u/Imapatriothurrrdurrr Jan 08 '26

I’d rather be comfy with spiders than nazi pedophiles!

u/dudderson Jan 08 '26

OP is a huntsman spider.

Probably. Idk.

u/Quirky-Scar9226 Jan 08 '26

Crafty….that one! Lol

u/FreekDeDeek Jan 08 '26

Aren't Huntsmans the ones that look scary but are actually good to have around because they eat roaches and such?

2

u/BlyLomdi Jan 11 '26

Roaches and such? That such includes mice, rats and snakes. Oh, and giant centipedes.

u/Tsiah16 Jan 08 '26

In this economy?

They aren't harmful at least.

u/inky_fox Jan 08 '26

I’m a good cook! Adopt me!

u/Kyanpe Jan 08 '26

I'm joining yall in 2 weeks ❤️ guess I was smart to move to the country way the fuck out in the middle of the ocean

u/hear_the_thunder Jan 08 '26

Congrats! It will be an adventure!

ngl if I had a better degree (like science/math) Australia would def be the place I'd be looking at to immigrate too. Sadly all I have is an Animation degree and work retail :/

u/hear_the_thunder Jan 08 '26

Look into it, you may have enough to move anyways

10

u/SilvarusLupus Jan 08 '26

Considering I got so roundly rejected while looking for an animation job for 8 years, I'm just afraid on top of the global unrest happening right now they won't see a use for me. I'm sure a lot of other (and richer) people are having this same thought too. And I worry about my mom because I know she won't move with me and she's getting older and I know she'll need my help (like physically). Worst comes to worst, I'll keep it in mind.

u/LemmeGetSum2 Jan 08 '26

Damn. Check your inbox.

u/SilvarusLupus Jan 08 '26

Thanks for the message, accidentally hit the wrong button DX I'll keep at it don't worry

u/Redshirt2386 Jan 09 '26

Try not having a degree at all. I’m 44 with a long and impressive resume, but no degree. That’s a nonstarter for immigration to Aus or NZ. ☹️

u/soedesh1 Jan 08 '26

I sure hope your country doesn’t have oil or minerals. If so you may soon have the Trump-Sydney Opera House.

2

u/hear_the_thunder Jan 09 '26

We got minerals. Our politicians are owned by the mining companies. There is no sovereign wealth fund.

3

u/Alicenok Jan 08 '26

Yeah, all we got was a nazi rally

u/shhhhh_h Jan 09 '26

HAHAHAHA why is my mother in law constantly facebooking me with her racist Aussie style MAGA bullshit. The rapture is coming, the Palestinians are evil, Trump is trying to save us from the Chinese invading. Babe it’s getting bad there, too. Do you live in the middle of Sydney or something

u/hear_the_thunder Jan 09 '26

My comment was more about geographical advantage.

Oh we definitely have our brain dead cultists here. But they are laughed at

1

u/shhhhh_h Jan 09 '26

Cult? It’s the whole ass Hunter Valley. My point is the geography hasn’t protected you at all from the ideology. And the Australian far right is nothing to sneeze at? I knew this even before I married in. Serious are you mid Sydney or Melbourne or something? Go like 30km inland and this is very normal. Pretending like this is a uniquely American problem is dangerous for the whole world. It’s also happening where I live now in Europe. No place is untouchable not in this technologically advanced world.

ETA Bondi was a direct backlash against the rise of those far right hate. Hate begets hate.

Glad you can make jokes in a thread honoring a dead woman. Fcuking Aussie.

u/Comfortable_Sea_717 Jan 11 '26

Yeah no. I was married to an Australian for 20 years and he would never make this kind of disgusting “joke”. Also butt the fcuk out, just keep strolling.

u/Tsiah16 Jan 08 '26

Maybe most of it, maybe for a while. Things are going south pretty hard in a lot of the world.
