    I left pre-Trump, for personal reasons. I’ll never go back.

    And I think it’s unwise to judge those who leave rather than staying and fighting. My ex’s family came to the US from Poland in the 1930s. The family that remained in Poland were sent to the camps and murdered. People make their own choices, and it’s sanctimonious to lecture those who choose differently than you did. And staying and actually fighting is not the same as being a keyboard warrior, either. I’m not saying you are, but many others are.

    We’ve got our own fasc problem here, too. I’m doing what I can. Lemmy’s not the place to go into more detail than that.

      Of course you would, you left.

      I love how you think it’s sanctimonious that others judge it. They’re leaving because of a bad vote result; something they had the choice to participate in and fix.

      That’s it. Vote results. Personal reasons.

      Not a world war, like the Poles and Jews suffered. Not starvation and brutality. A fuckin vote result.
