Donald Trump is the president-elect of the U.S.

Fuck this shit. White supremacism has just been validated on a national scale. The markets are tanking and the value of the US dollar will drop. People like Giuliani, Christie, and Duke will have the reins; everything good Obama did will be overturned, and the Supreme Court will turn red. Even nuclear war will no longer be off the table.

My country is collapsing around me. I want out before shit gets a whole lot worse — while that's still an option. Somewhere where the US dollar has less influence and where fallout has less of a chance to reach. (And also with good coffee and beer.)

Lets just wait at least 12 hours before we declare that the country collapsing.

Don't get me wrong, I think a Trump presidency is horrific, but I think its slightly too early to see what that would actually mean.

But actually, come to Australia. It's a wonderful country.

Having listened to a bunch of WWII podcasts recently, it struck me how the people who fled Germany once the Nazis came into power — ridiculed as they were by their friends and relatives! — were the most likely to weather that horrible conflict.

Maybe it's a stretch — or maybe not — but in the end it's just branch prediction. Australia sounds nice.

Australia would be great except every damn bug in the country can kill you. I'm completely terrified of Australia. See a beautiful spider? Want a closer look? Nope. You're dead.
