With this and all the shit the Supreme Court is ruling on while they can hide behind the debate coverage, it's not looking good for the country.

Legit why once I finish this degree I’m moving abroad. Tried it out with a semester abroad (note: I’m almost 30 but in grad school). Loved it. First world nation. My GF is over there and had considered coming to America. But when we saw how well Trump was doing in the polls…

The fact he has even 10% support, not to mention how much he has, made us decide we didn’t want to be here. Too many racists, too many fascists. So finish up, accept the job abroad, and likely not come back.

Spent near 30 years here and actively campaigned for DNC but it’s just not feasible to remain.

You know other nations are worse with racism. It’s just more publicized here as a news story.
