No one is sending you anywhere. You know Trump isn’t even a Christian himself, right?
The Gulag was a government agency in the Soviet Union that administered forced labor camps, particularly during Joseph Stalin’s rule, especially in the 1930s through early 1950s. Stalin was not a Christian either. Similarly, if Putin considers you a threat, you may disappear. Trump has followed a similar approach, gathering loyalists in as many government positions as possible. He has vowed retribution against his perceived enemies, much like the forced internment camps the U.S. used for Japanese Americans during WWII. He may indeed imprison those who speak out against him, having already promised to deploy the National Guard against protesters.
There is no gulag. There is no concentration camp. These are all fears you constructed for yourself. Fictional. I will not be sent anywhere for being an atheist. I refuse to leave in fear.
I’d say start studying the Bible so you can blend in, but actually knowing scripture is VERY uncommon among the MAGA crowd.
Just buy a red or black hat and have a shitty cross necklace to wear under your wife-beaters to go with a Punisher skull tattoo on one arm and a “Thin Blue Line” flag on the other.
I have a pentagram on my left hand. I’m pretty much fucked.
You just REALLY like the metal band Slayer.
Satanic! To the gulag.
If they actually followed Jesus’ teaching in the Bible they might be decent people lol.
Yeah they basically only know the stuff they saw on veggie tales and the stuff they can use to judge other people
Probably after the other low-hanging fruit has been “dealt with”. They’ll start with illegal immigrants because they’re easier to pick out and have less people to stand up for them. Then they’ll turn their attention somewhere else, then somewhere else, but eventually they’ll get around to Atheists, because obviously they’re all ungodly heathens who commit all sorts of atrocities, not at all like Church leaders and devout Christians, who can do no wrong.
illegal immigrants
And that’s a dog whistle for “the coloreds”. Not just the illegals, but anyone who doesn’t “belong”. Racism and bigotry have never been more rampant in this country in my lifetime.
Racism and bigotry have never been more openly rampant in this country in my lifetime.

“First they came for the immigrants, but I did not speak up because I was not an immigrant…”
It’ll be the LGBT groups, just like last time. Do you hear how violent the rhetoric has become about trans people? They’re also a small enough and defenseless group.
But yes, it will be other groups before atheists.
Hopefully not until Putin takes over the UK since that’s where we’re fleeing to.
It might not be the best country, but it is a country where the government is actively working on banning conversion therapy with cross-party and church support.
Please do not come here
I see, you want to stop citizens from going to a country where they are a citizen.
How Trump of you. (Or, I suppose, Farage.)
Nevermind 🤣 assumed you were a yank
I am both.
I understand if you have to but;
Don’t go m8. I thought about it too, Canada is where I’d go, but… Let’s stay and be old dickheads about it. I don’t know you irl but, let’s go somewhere and get a pint, and wait for this to all blow over (cough cough explode cough). Also, someone is going to have to rebuild. I appreciate you, even if union jack Flax doesn’t.
Stay. Resist. Just my two cents buddy, as a fellow “sorter by new.”
I am the parent of a queer girl. There is no way I can justify staying and risking her being taken away and put in some conversion therapy camp. Or just have to be in the closet she’s never been in and never find love except in secret. In fact, due to the internet being forever, she can’t even really go into the closet if she needed to.
Meanwhile, Britain is working to outlaw conversion therapy with cross-party support. It’s safer for her there.
Children owe their parents nothing; they didn’t ask to be born. Parents owe their child everything. I would never, ever forgive myself if we stayed when we had the option to leave and something bad happened to her because of it.
Are they actually going to send queer people to a conversion therapy camp???
I hear you and cannot fault you for doing what you feel you have to as a father. I have no dual citizenship so I’d have to start from square one. I have three children and have considered leaving. Like I said, I’d go to Canada but I am nowhere near giving up yet. I’m going to stay and be an old, Atheist, lefty, bisexual thorn in their side. They may try and take me away for any or all of that. I’m really gutted that my fellow Americans are this stupid to have landed us here. I have always flown an American flag but I took it down when I took my Harris/Walz sign down. I’m ashamed of Americans for choosing a fascist. If the gov comes for me or any of my children, they’ll eat lead, come what may.
I think I will just have to resist and protest though. Trump has the power and support (unfortunately) to do his mass deportation but I believe, conversion therapy and coming after gay and trans ppl would be suicide. Hopefully they realize they don’t want a national level Stonewall Riot.
I’m so sorry to hear that. I
pray forask darwin to evolve your recovery
I’ll be fine as I have been masking most of my life.
Whelp, you’re caught. Masks are illegal.
We will be fine.
