      We have plenty of fascists here. It’s not like the US have a monopoly. We don’t quite let them run the show yet, but we’re certainly working on it.

        Yeah, but a really big part of the MAGA platform is hating on the “communist” and “woke” “yuropoors”. She must really really hate it here.

    Because we don’t have regular mass shootings in schools because we don’t give every single person the money for a ticket to a gun show a gun and where we do, we legislate that they keep their gun in a gun safe. You know, like the rest of the world…or the USA in 1792.

    “Expat” is my favourite dog whistle. Because “migrant” is only used for brown people, or other undesirable minorities for racists.

      I hate the word for the reasons you’ve said, but I know a lot of black Americans in Portugal that refer to themselves as expats.

      Feels to me that the line is drawn along economic privilege lines rather than simply race.

        There’s also this level of like, still identifying as being primarily of the country they’re from, like a rejection of assimilation into the place they’ve moved to. I’m not saying that’s inherently good or bad, but, it’s an interesting dynamic, and an option that a lot of immigrants don’t have.

          an option that a lot of immigrants don’t have.

          Especially when a lot of the same type of people will throw a fit if an ‘immigrant’ doesn’t do everything they can to assimilate.

    Why would you move to the Netherlands if you are MAGA? Isn’t your country so much greater again now? You ellected your king and then you left?

      Yeah this confuses me to no end. I thought they made America great last election?
