Sadly we have to watch this dumpster fire go on while either planning to pick up the pieces once it’s over or you make a run for the border in hopes of saving yourself

I'm not gonna let myself be bullied out of my home by God's biggest losers. I'm in a blue state so I'll be okay for now. I'm also armed so I'll be okay if or when shit hits the fan. I dont blame people who do leave but for me that's just not in the cards.

I'm torn between wanting to stay and restore our country, and making sure my kids aren't growing up in a place with a hamstrung education system, poor medical care, and a society increasingly steeped in hatred.

We're trying to make sure we can keep our options open for them.

I don’t live in a blue state sadly, I can’t trust myself with a weapon because I know what would happen if I had one. So for me, I have to consider leaving everything behind just to be safe

And that's perfectly okay. I envy you in a way. I'm too stubborn to give in to these fucking geeks and it could very well be my downfall in the coming years. I also have friends and family who can't or don't want to leave so if they're staying then I'm staying. I also love my home city of Chicago too much to just abandon it lol.

So that's how he's going to make Mexico pay for a border wall!
