No, but we're headed there. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago (4 children) That would require accepting anyone as a refugee from the US, and that is extremely unlikely to happen, ever. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 6 points 1 year ago I mean, iirc Canada already accepts some LGBT refugees from other parts of the world.

They would likely sooner accept for example Amish , indigenous or democratic people only before just accepting anyone from the US. I think you're wrong in believing that is unlikely to happen if you see how anyone with a Hispanic demeanor is being treated right now. permalink fedilink source parent [+] dinren@discuss.online 1 point 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent
