Why would I want to stay? Other Western countries have far superior quality of life and human capital.
I love some elements of this country. It has some of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen. We have a tremendous capacity for ingenuity, and we've done more for the advancement of science and the human condition than anyone since Germany from 1890-1939. However, we have this segment of the population, that has always existed, that is simply irredeemable, and sabotages the country at every turn. The Senate and electoral college, originally designed to give power to slavers, grant them such disproportionate representation that their retardation is inescapable even when living in a blue state.

I hope you understand you are describing the politics of almost any western nation ever. Slavery ended 170 years ago my man. The senate and the electoral college do not currently, today, give power to slavers, since slavery was abolished 170 years ago. How do you think that happened?
Joe Biden *might* have won the presidency because of fraud, there is evidence of it and it's being investigated. Why oppose that? This is all perfectly legal and within the scope of our legal system. Just like it was for democrats in 2016, who claimed trump stole the election with russian collusion and a multi-year legal investigation turned up no compelling evidence of such. You're conflating a lot of things; "Thinking fraud allegations should be investigated is the same as not believing in climate change". They are completely separate issues. The rightwing perspective on climate change isn't that it's not happening, but rather how much of what is happening is the result of human activity. And how do the proposals to combat it weigh against the downsides of said proposals? People in the 3rd world don't have the luxury of worrying about optimizing carbon emissions, they need to fucking eat. Again I think you have grown a little fat and happy on all the luxuries this country affords you and can't see the forest for the trees.
