Thank you for book recommendations! I visit British Columbia many times

and find it very friendly with far less problems than most of the US. About

knocking down MAGA, I’m amazed at how uninformed most Americans are.

However, speaking of postcards, every down ballot election I sent out post-

cards for, we won. We will overcome by getting more Democrats who will

resist into office. ONE MORE THING, I don’t understand why blue states, especially my California, aren’t simply forging close relationships with both Canada and Mexico. I’m trying to get this across in California politics.

Thank you for this post. As a white Americans who donated to Democrats in the 2024 election, do we need to prepare to leave our home and seek refuge (asylum) elsewhere? I hope you were only referring to natural disasters such as tornados, hurricanes, floods, wildfires. When we lived in Marin County, California we had evacuation drills for wildfires. Mill Valley, where we lived, was heavily wooded with narrow winding roads going up and down the hills. We’re thinking of all the people in Canada who have been evacuated. Also the horrible, ongoing tragedy with the Texas floods. And, there is a wildfire in the Grand Canyon.

We get our news from my son, such as the bombing of Tehran. Never would we want news about the regime in DC before sleep.

I meant make an emergency plan in case you had to for some reason related to future changes in your country. Everyone’s degree of comfort and risk will vary of course. Some will find this outlandish. But I feel it is better to have a plan and not use it (especially since having a plan also serves a psychological benefit) than to not have a plan.

Not to make you worry Linda. Think of it like fire insurance. You no doubt buy it every year, but that’s not because you think it’s likely your house will have a fire.

It’s not only advisable, it’s imperative. We did the same when 47 was President before. First you really have to decide if it is feasible for you to leave-in my case my husband and I are in our mid 70’s, both with some health issues. I am doubtful any country would accept us. I think my son, his partner and my grandson would be able to emigrate-and that’s really all i care about is their safety.

So, step one is will you leave or will you stay. Once you make that decision, you can then begin planning.

Good luck to you all💚

Check out Ireland Sheila. I may be wrong but I’ve heard retirees can go there.
