Don't worry, there's the insurrection and riots next.
My wife is predicting a civil war. I can't help but wonder what our role will be in it.
Any countries who are not sliding into fascism that would be interested in hiring two well-educated adults? I really love Germany, and despite some German heritage, it's too far removed to be of value in gaining citizenship or a passport. We visited Germany in the spring of 2016 (and heard, several times, "WHAT is going on in your country?") and she loved it, too.
Here in germany we're sliding into facism as well, again x.x
Our second most voted party here is super disgustingly far-right and gets more and more votes each election - even tho multiple states declared them unconstitutional and there are talks to ban the whole party because it's a danger to democracy and our constitution.
The most voted party is conservative-right and at least by name based in Christianity. They see themselves more in the center, but tend to be a bit to the right from it, at least in my opinion. And some of the top politicians there are saying some really disgusting right shit as well. The party isn't really fascist, but populistic and a bit right-leaning, known for corruption, power-hungry)
Therefore I think germany might not be the best choice if you want to flee facism
(Disclaimer: Constitution = Grundgesetz. Please don't nitpick that our constitution is technically not a constitution. Thanks)
Yeah I saw that about Germany. Unfortunately, if even Germany is sliding that way, it's hard to imagine anywhere else not doing the same...
How far away are they really? German rules about that are fairly lenient and courts have expanded them a bit recently.
Maybe any other EU country you could qualify for? Ireland is often a route some US citizens take - once you have their passport you are free to move wherever you want.
Pretty sure my great great grandparents were German. I'd have to double check that. My grandmother's maiden name is pretty German Jewish, but I can't recall at the moment whether she was a first generation immigrant or not. I did some research on this a few years back, and I would have to look at my notes to confirm.
It's a little confusing because there's a actually some German heritage on both sides - the grandmother above was my father's mother, but there's some on my mother's side, too.
Americans are obsessed with genealogy, and I spent some time on it during the pandemic, so I can tell you I'm some odd fraction German, which you usually can't get to, like 5/8ths, because it comes from both families.
Damn, that is exactly one great to mTuch. If you're great grandparents (mainly your great grandfather)would be born on German soil it would have been easy.
If your heritage is (even partly)Jewish(or you can prove that there was prosecution for other reasons) and you can prove that they lived in Germany (and left before the war ended) there are special rules and you might be eligible.
I don't think the police or the military are particularly divided on who to support. A coup maybe.
But liberals won't be putting up a fight once the media starts labeling them Hamas/Hezbollah and you can't post your pink pussy hat on Instagram without getting put on a list.
There's always Ireland. Mexico is looking pretty good right now, given the flood of cheap imports and the resurgent manufacturing sector.
Depends on who wins. They're only insurrections and riots when brown people and leftists do them.
The next J6/Charleston will be covered more favorably than the '64 March on Washington was, now that Bezos et al have shown their colors.
