Living in America is like living in an abusive relationship with someone who could hit you at any moment for seemingly no reason, except you don’t know what they look like and they own a gun.

Then leave. That’s the same solution for domestic violence. Just leave.

I have never read a more stupid reply in my life

Do you understand that when people try to leave domestically abusive relationships, they are often under threat of death/harm because their partner wants to control them? You don’t leave a situation in which you are literally being controlled/manipulated, it’s nearly impossible to leave?

Are you suggesting that your abusive partner, America, won’t let you leave? I promise you, you are more than welcome too. We have no laws against it. I think you might need a passport but that isn’t hard to get. Then it’s just an airline ticket or a bus ticket for Mexico or Canada. I’m sure someone will take you.

Do you know why people in abusive relationships stay in abusive relationships, jjaarrr? I do, because I’ve been in an abusive relationship. Often it’s because they have nowhere else to go, nobody they can turn to, or at the least nobody they feel they can turn to. They’re trapped. So that’s one ignorant comment you’ve made so far.

Do you happen to know, also, how difficult it is to become a legal resident of another country? I promise you, it’s a lot more complicated than just getting a passport and a ticket out of town. “Just leave” isn’t viable when you’re talking about asking another country to let you live there – even if you’re claiming asylum, the process can take months – years, even – and is seldom cheap.

Congratulations, you’re batting 0 for 2 so far.

You seem to be advocating for people to stay in an abusive relationship. The two choices are stay or leave. Pick one.

Venezuela. Cuba. North Korea. Mexico. China. Canada. I’m sure they will take you. Some may take longer than others but the sooner you get started, the faster you will be out of your abusive relationship with America.

As to my response being ignorant, you made the ridiculous comparison. Were you just counting on people giving you attention and sympathy as some sort of victim? Again, if it is that abusive here, then leave. Hard or easy, you have two choices. Stay or go. Your choice. It’s called freedom.

It’s almost like this was a stupid analogy in the first place.

It’s not only stupid, it’s insulting. OP is victimizing literally everyone by virtue of being American and it’s not only how it DEFINITELY doesn’t work, it’s also REALLY fucking stupid to compare it to domestic abuse in the first place. Implying that people are inherently helpless and dumb to realize whatever fake victimization value you give this country will also piss off a lot of people.

Guess what, OP? You can still get mugged, stabbed, and/or fucked over by the government in England. You can get beat up and actively discriminated against in every balkan country. By your logic we’re all domestic violence victims. Why stop at America for your Woke™ points?
