    Yes, America.

    Famously not prone to the assassination of political enemies.

    Definitely no racial component to your complaint either.

      Yeah, totally racist to be upset when other countries carry out assassinations here.

        Ah, so you just blame all immigrants for the actions of the government they’re moving away from for non-racial reasons, I see.

        That’s why you want more Americans fleeing a fascist takeover, makes sense.

        Hey, quick mental exercise, what does an American emigrant look like when you picture them?

          Careful with those mental exercises bud, you might give yourselves a nosebleed.

          Actually, a lot of the ex-Americans I’ve worked with are a pretty mixed bag, race-wise, and it’s not really surprising that non-white portion might have extra reasons to not be comfortable with the potential government of the future (that said, they might not be too impressed with the potential future government in Canada either).

          I’ve also had the pleasure of working and socializing with a good number of intelligent, well-educated immigrants from India etc, but there’s a difference between bringing in educated members of a foreign country and opening the floodgates for McJobs so that corporations can keep on a cheap and easily-controllable workforce.

          I’d welcome Americans looking to get away from fascism, but I’m not terribly impressed by bringing in large numbers of people from any country who bring their conflicts and hatreds from the motherland to here.

            The interesting assumptions and continued willful ignorance continues, I see.

            Some might take this chance to reflect on their thoughts and perhaps address their biases, but that’s apparently off the menu today.

            Hey bud, who was being assassinated by Modi’s regime and why?

              Shall I interestingly assume you’re totally ok with international assassinations being on the menu then? Where would you like them to serve it up next? And how?

              How about Russian style with a little polonium tea?
