In reply to the discussion: What do you think will happen to you if ChristoFascists take over? [View all]Celerity
(49,791 posts)16. I would never move back to the US, barring a successful civil war or California & other Blue states
leaving the Union. At some point it comes down to simple self-preservation and quality of life, and I am living a damn good life over here in the EU atm.
I have to clarify what
if ChristoFascists take over
means to me.
It would mean they retake Congress and POTUS by January 20, 2025, especially if they seize the POTUS via some ultra dodgy means, like State legislatures overturning popular votes or, more unlikely by far, via an armed coup d'état.
The real danger of a coup d'état (this time with the US military possibly involved on the side of the christofash scum) would be in 2028/January 2029 (if Trump is POTUS again from Jan 20, 2025 onward but then refuses to leave office in January 20th, 2029) or in 2032/January 2033 if DeSantis is 'elected' in 2024 and re-elected in 2028. Will they leave power peacefully after 2 terms? The DeSantis issue could also come into play if he wins in 2024 and then in 2028/January 2029 he loses in 2028, bit claims it was a 'non legitimate' election, and then also refuses to leave power.

Personally, not much will probably happen to me, but that's not the point...
