@RationalizedInsanity@mastodon.socialSo people are being denied access to the #usa simply based on their opinions of #trump now.
I guess the First Amendment only applies if you're a citizen now...
Which last time I checked was not at all the case, and anyone who was here legally has the same rights.
Though I guess due process is gone now too with deported people, so I am not so surprised this is now happening too.
What is happening is our rights are not rights, they are privileges.
@FranceskaMann It would appear so.
@FranceskaMann @RationalizedInsanity
... or even rewards
@KarenDorman @FranceskaMann Yup! Agree with Trump and you can say whatever you want! Even threaten people's families!
Disagree with him and you can be deported with a valid green card or visa!
I wonder when he is just gonna start shipping AMERICANS off...
Personally, I'd like to go to Switzerland. Maybe Portugal. Possibly the Bahamas.
@RationalizedInsanity @KarenDorman
Human rights are not privileges. They are rights. When only a few people have rights, no one has them. People then have privileges and rights do not exist.
@RationalizedInsanity
The first amendment only applies now if you're spouting hateful, spiteful things which agree with Trump.
@bardmoss Damn, I only spout spiteful things towards Trump. Also pansexual, non-binary and mentally disabled. So I am definitely going to camp if this goes true dictatorship mode...
I wonder if countries will start letting disabled Americans apply for asylum...
I should try it and see if I can get on the news as the first American to get Asylum due to Trump and Musk.
@RationalizedInsanity
My wife and I are seriously considering bailing, and she's a Canadian citizen
@bardmoss You should adopt me and take me with you!
@RationalizedInsanity LOL
If we had the money I would. Right now the only money we're sure of is my Social Security (which used to be disability until I got old) and, for a few more months, I have a trust from my mother's passing.
@bardmoss I understand. It was just a random joke anyway.
I am making my own plans if things go extremely wrong and I am extremely frugal so can save even when I make very little.
I have even figured out "questionable" ways to get my meds cuz I know a ton of homeless people, some of which have certain "issues" and the meds I need the most are "desirable".
It'll be much more expensive.
I will do what I have to in order to survive if my insurance is gone.
@RationalizedInsanity
It would be too long of a trip to pick you up first anyhow. But I'm serious, if we had the money we would take you.
@bardmoss Well if you get there and have a couch I could pay for...
Canada seems lovely :D
I appreciate the sentiment.
It's good to have friends.
