We run Trans Rescue, a charity that helps trans people escape from dangerous places We've of course added amerikkka to the list, and our main campaign this year is to educate people on how to get out of the US during the increasingly possible biden-fall lame duck period.We post little cartoons and explainers on a few social media sites. Shares appreciated cat-trans Many people feel stuck, or are stuck, due to family ties. Do you all have any first or second hand perspectives/stories on this?

If you need help planning your own escape from the USA, email [email protected] for a free consultation.

It's not as bad as you'd think in most places, I'm an open commie in the South and about 70% of the workers I know out here come to me for political advice or ask me good faith questions.

The issue from my experience (and I know some places are worse) is the massive amount of propaganda and misinformation. That and the fact that reactionary violence is protected by the state.

The gun nuts and reactionaries are a minority, but they're heavily subsidized and supported by our reactionary power systems (police, courts, local government) at the expense of the rest of us.

Not at all worth the risk already, and it will only be getting worse as material conditions continue to deteriorate. The USA is a failed state and collapsing empire.

Oh yeah, not arguing that it's getting worse and we're primed for something, just that I think it's a bit unfair to say that a majority of Americans are rabid gun nut chuds.

That archetype is just the type of person the political economic establishment sees as the "American Ubermensch" so propaganda elevates them and establishments protect them.
