Yeah, I been hearing this for about 4 years now.
Myself falling for hope because Trump made me unemployed:
Myself flying over from Canada wondering what you guys are doing
Myself after being born into white trash in Texas, never having love for this country, having to stave off poverty for two decades during my lifetime, having taught myself code as my peers resigned themselves to manual labor, and having no options to emigrate out because I have no ties to any origin countries that make up my genetics.
I wish I could be a Canadian. I'd be friendly, helpful, and pay my taxes on time. I'm going to die impoverished in the "land of opportunity".
The ruling class benefiting from every aspect of all of this.
I think this thread proves that there needs to be a peanuts meme community
Quick, you need a mental health app and a prescription too. It's not normal to be overwhelmed by this, you're the only one.
I was did/heartened when I heard psychologists speaking out about how much more difficult their jobs have gotten since so many of the stresses people have been dealing with have moved to externalities rather than internalities. It is REALLY hard to help someone cope in the usual ways because the problems are real, we our lives and livelihoods are under existential threat, and we are relatively powerless in the face of it all. No amount of affirmations are going to make any of that better.
Ooh how many times have you heard that it's somehow your fault for not doing enough to get anyone else elected, your fault for not having a degree, your fault for not seeing this coming 10 years ago and making plans then, or your fault for being a dirty American who is American and therefore deserves all the bad things happening?
I've gotten all these, and more.
My personal favorite was being told in the same conversation by two different Canadians, that I should move to Canada, AND that Canada doesn't need some "backwards ass hillbilly trash who wants to fuck his guns as much as his sister" because I mentioned I have family, no college education, and firearms.
Personally I'd prefer to move to an EU country, but if the US ever really did want to invade Canada, I'd want to be there to help defend Canada. You know, with my guns. I've inherited quite a few, have training to use them, and am absolutely willing to train minorities on their use to defend against fascist racist phobic pieces of human refuse.
So basically for one reason or another, country on the planet seems to want someone like me.
Instead we get to sit here, in this shit hole country. Grasping at anything to try and help pull it back from the massive sinkhole it's slipping into. Hoping that enough people help us to make a difference.
I don't think there's a relevant peanuts panel for this...
Edit: this is not directed at Miles, but the situation
Yeah, I think that about sums it up.
If they come after me for opposing the regime. I’ll put down some firepower.
I'm surprised there isn't a Texas -> Alberta immigration pipeline. The province wants to be like Texas so much!
I'd move to Alberta. Could someone put in a good word for me?
