There are no moderate Republicans in the House of Representatives.
Oh, no doubt some members are privately appalled by the views of Mike Johnson, the new speaker. But what they think in the privacy of their own minds isn’t important. What matters is what they do — and every single one of them went along with the selection of a radical extremist.
Where would you go?
Well, I’m not sure. I’m learning French, but that’s less because I have specific goals for Metropolitan France and more because, as a silver lining of colonialism, there are a bunch of French-speaking tropical islands evenly-scattered around the world. Even before Trump, I was thinking of early-retiring onto a sailboat and visiting some of them.
In a shorter term, “flee the US” sort of situation it’d be more about finding a job in any first-world country that would have me, whether I knew the language or not. (Paris or Montreal would be high priorities though, since I like what they’re doing with their bike infrastructure and such.)
Oh that’s cool, yeah a French speaking country would be my first choice too (if English isn’t an option) because I grew up in a family that sometimes spoke it. I’m super rusty though.
Thanks for the answer!
