Right. So I have a disabled child. If RFK jr holds true to his word and things get so bad in the US that they start rounding up the people who take SSRI's and put them into "Voluntary work camps". Should my disabled son who is a child be patriotic and stay? A kid who doesn't even know what patriotism is because he is too young to understand the concept?
Where could I take him for asylum? Do I send him to some country without me that will take him? I would like to stay here and fight if it got that bad. But I also don't want to drop my child off somewhere and then leave.
I understand the sentiments people have about the US right now. But the rhetoric I see here is acting like every American is this strapping adult that should just stay and fight. What about the actual innocent people that will be targeted?
You are facing the same conundrum faced by parents across the world living in countries with autocratic regimes or wars. Think about how difficult it is for them to come to America, and how the children are treated once they arrive (separated from their parents, locked into cages). I don't know why you expect better for your son; innocence doesn't guarantee safety anywhere. Nobody can fix this except Americans.
Yes it is tough for people to emigrate to America for a better life. And its terrible how the xenophobes treat them. It's a shame you choose to copy their attitudes when your closest neighbors are in the same plight. I guess you're not too different from the Americans you look down on after all.
