And what country is going to accept mass political refugees from the USA?

You make it sound like that's an easy option that everyone has.

I believe I was asked what I personally would do and USA was never mentioned.

[-] davidgro@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

That's fair. I feel really frustrated that I can see what's happening and have what feels like no options at all to deal with it.

I can understand your frustration and I'm sorry you're going through this.

I've seen my country fall apart too and it ain't no picnic. Reason why my answer is what it was.

Have you successfully left a country in the past under similar circumstances (if I'm understanding correctly)? Sounds like an interesting story, if so.

[-] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 3 points 4 days ago

Well, not me, but some family members left during the Pinochet years (I'm Chilean). I have a Venezuelan friend living in Madrid who left during Chavez too, and know a few other cases.

The thing about dictatorships is that they can come in any flavor.
