It’s scary watching an empire collapse in real time.
I’ve been a naturalized citizen of the US for 99% of my life.
I am fully expecting that within the next year or so I’ll lose my naturalization. Not because of a criminal record (I have none), but because I’m not white enough.
I am currently looking at applying for a work visa in Canada with longer term plans to move to the EU. Frankly, any and all “plan b” ideas I’m looking into.
Sucks because I have to uproot my family, too. They are white. I still don’t know if they fully comprehend what it is like day to day.
Like, I was just going grocery shopping the other day and had an unmarked van behind me for what felt like an awkwardly long time. I immediately started formulating escape plans. I drove an extra long route to the store just to make sure I wasn’t being followed. Once I parked I sat in my car an extra few minutes to observe if any other suspicious vehicles also parked and if anybody got out. I made sure to message my wife that I parked, that I was on my way into the store, that I was 25%/50%/75% done getting items, that I was checking out, that I was back in the car and headed home.
These are not thoughts I should have to have. It sucks.
I’m also armed, but let’s be honest, I can probably only take 1-2 gestapo out before I’m done for and there’d be no getting away with it long-term.
Every day my wife goes to work, I worry about her workplace being raided and my never seeing or hearing from her again.
I also worry that I might drive in the middle of it, and have to get involved. I should not have to have plans about how to rescue my wife from kidnapping at work.
