“A 1000 Red Flags”: 30 Pieces Of Advice Foreigners Have For Americans Right Now
Interview With Expert
Within the first day of stepping his foot back into office, Donald Trump has signed more executive orders than any other president in history. The 45th and 47th head of state is wasting no time signing orders left and right, some of which are causing concern among US citizens.
Without a plan on how to protect their freedoms, many Americans are worried about the potential crisis that the actions of the current US president may bring. Therefore, TikToker Rachel Gaede posted a brief video asking non-Americans for advice on what they would do in their place right now.
In 4 days, the post received 900k views and 9k comments, with many foreigners offering their heartfelt support and suggestions. Scroll down to find them, and make sure to leave a comment below, telling us what you think about the situation in the US.
While you're at it, make sure to check out a conversation with Justin Buchler, associate professor in the Department of Political Science at Case Western Reserve University, and Petra Molnar, faculty associate at Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center and author of The Walls Have Eyes: Surviving Migration in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, who kindly agreed to tell us more about the current affairs in the United States.

And not just with what paltry education they give you in most public schools, which is, by far, better than almost all American home schooling.

It is bizarre to think that books I read as a child are now becoming reality.

I'd put up a person or two. The last town I was in took in almost 100 Ukrainians several years back, and that town only had 1000 people to start with.

The US used to be famous for their protests in the 60s and 70s. Quit hating on the boomers and start learning from them what they did to make the huge changes they made. P.S. And if you aren't aware of the huge changes they made, then you are part of the problem.

If I lived in Florida or Texas I would be worried about people coming to my house to take away my books. Don't tell me it hasn't already been discussed.

Unfortunately a lot of American's are financially unable to afford the requirements it takes to move out of this hell hole and/or disabled. It's truly heartbreaking!

I disagree, don't just listen to those 'singing your song'. And please. PLEASE push back on the 'contact us' buttons if you disagree. That goes for your Reps and Sens too!

I lived in the US when Trump was first elected. We then made plans for me to retire early and emigrate to France. Covid hit in the middle of this, but we persevered and made it to France while masks were still mandated. We were welcomed warmly by our local community and embraced. We felt more at home here within a week than we had ever felt in the US (we moved a lot due to my job). My husband doesn't speak French but the locals have embraced him and call him "le chef" (the boss) when he comes into town every day and supports the local café culture. I feel so loved and so much a part of the community that I can't begin to tell you and I get a little emotional about it. If you have the opportunity and the means to do it, I'd highly recommend moving abroad. P.S. We didn't know a soul in France before we moved. You talk about a place that welcomes you into the community.

After I moved abroad, Canada's then rightwingnut government created a law denying the right to vote to any Canadian living overseas for over a year. I was denied the right to vote for several federal elections. People who live overseas tend to be more educated, more aware of what other people think, and of their own country's flaws. I wouldn't put it past that orange fascist to deny voting rights the same way, thus reducing the number of enlightened and progressive voters. Ignorant people and rich people vote for fascists.

Stephen Harper, Canada's then Prime Minister is now head of the International Democratic Union (IDU), a right wing think tank. Harper is known to be the most anti-democratic and authoritarian PM, where he muzzled scientists. During his time as PM, there was the Robocall Scandal. Where his party sent out robocalls in key Liberal ridings sending voters to incorrect polling stations. Those are some things that I remember from the Harper era.
