    but I do see the logic.

    I don’t. What are they going to do? A lot of people I know who live abroad have done so for decades and have no living family in the US. All it would do is introduce a bunch of homeless people to the US and destroy lives. I voted against the current administration and disagree with everything they do. Guess they should just make my wife homeless, get my house repossessed, destroy my career, and probably just end with me killing myself because of where I was born. Must be big fans of ICEs work, I guess.

      In this hypothetical scenario, maybe you could just renounce your citizenship (and stop paying taxes to the US).

      In all cases, retaliation against a fascist regime will destroy lives, but it’s generally the better option. I mean people suggest to stop trading with the US or crash their economy, this is not victimless either.

        I plan to renounce but I need to be able to help my parents if they need it. Family comes first here. I do not have to pay taxes, just file them; especially with the weak Japanese yen, I don’t make enough to need to pay anything.

      Honestly at this point, I rather see Americans suffer. It would humble them. My country was attacked by US & a lot my fellow citizens committed suicide due to the massive blow from tariffs.

      I was too considering it.

          The innocents are easier targets, though. When the shit hits the fan, it’s always the easiest targets that get attacked.

          Who’s taxpayers & whose votes ?? The OTHER side wanted a genocide too. A lot of Kamala Harris voters would have been happy with the genocide.
