    Good move. We need to be vigilant because Canadian RW politicians are attempting to bring US GOP bigot legislation here as well. #NeverVoteConservative

        This is the part that pisses me off the most. The cancer that is American politics is infecting our country. Now we got dumb fucks like Danielle Smith and PP crying about the “woke” agenda and other imported republican bullshit. Even worse, it’s working extremely well on the dumbest of our population and spreading like wildfire.

        Fuck America and their sports team politics. People need to realize it should be working class VS the rich, but they keep us distracted and divided with this dumb fucking culture war and the morons are lapping it up.

      Well akchually the USA can never become a third world country, because the designations come from the cold war and first world means US aligned, second world means UdSSR aligned and third world are the neutral countries.

        Yep a better one might be developed/developing, since that’s what people are usually thinking about when they use those terms

      I agree that in a lot of the states people can be pretty nasty towards LGBTQ+ people, but saying it is becoming a third world country is a bit extreme no?

    At first I thought that this sounds a little extreme, but then I remembered that even if you aren’t LGBTQ, you still need to watch out for the mass shootings. So being any kind of minority kind of ups your odds of being murdered.

    And they should. If you aren’t going to California, Hawaii, or Massachusetts… you should be careful about vetting the state you plan on visiting. Things have gotten very nasty in “red states” over the last few years.

      Oregon, Washington, and most of the Northeast are fine.

      Just stay away from the South. This has always been good advice and remains good advice.
