I have had to ghost my trumper family and friends. If I was part of the Underground Railroad, or knew where Anne Frank was hiding, I couldn’t trust any of them. Elections have consequences. For my trumper friends and family, losing knowing me was an immediate consequence for them. They don’t get to have my rage, my grief, my disappointment. They get only my silence.

You're delusional.

Something is wrong about this election. My election pamphlet arrived yesterday, while my ballot arrived two and a half months ago. It took my vote five weeks to arrive to California. That is just not normal. I have spoken to hundreds of people whose ballots are now missing. I do not see how it is possible that tens of millions of people who supported Hilary didn't support Kamala. If you think about it, there are a hundred more things that do not make sense about this election. Check your vote. Demand a hand recount.

I never thought I would see video like this so sad in USA I'm gay male retired from USA living in Mexico there a lot great places too live outside USA here puerto we have a large gay population Canadians Americans very gay friendly

Is your gender marker updated on your birth certificate?

You sound like and idiotic little girl. Get a grip dumbass

This guy looks like a man. If that’s what you were shooting for it’s very convincing

I respect and admire you so much. I’ve been following you since the beginning. Thank you for your insight and wisdom. ❤

I actually must apologize for 47th President Donald J. Trump. It was my fault for having faith in the majority of humanity in the US. It was my fault for believing the majority was smarter and better than they actually are. It was all my fault for believing that the majority was more capable of common sense and logic. So I concede, just like the blue party. I concede that I was wrong. It was a mistake to believe in the majority of humanity, it was a mistake to have faith in the majority of humanity that they would do the right thing, choose logically, use common sense. That was my mistake. So a toast to President Trump, the majority of Americans love you and they DESERVE you. And everything you do, whatever effects it will have in the near and distant future, the majority deserves all of that, and their kids will inherit all of that thanks to their parents.

Can you please do a wife update video? Are you still with your wife? I just discovered your channel and I’m sorry if it’s a sore subject…

Did you end up getting married?

I don't know you. This is the first video of your's I've seen. Thank you for making this. A thing I often tell myself is, "All things come to an end, even bad times." Times are grim, and the road ahead, foreboding, but we will persevere. This is not the end. Wishing you, and all minority members, safety, support and an abundance of love in the comming years. Don't lose hope.

Well articulated, as always. Thanks for the encouragement in these dark times.

I'm a Transgender woman. 21 years now. I voted for Trump. We need illegal immigrants out of America. We need inflation to be fixed. We shouldn't support illegals.

Stay safe Dade & family!❤

I live in Buffalo, New York which is purple. The polls show much lower numbers than what you will meet in random public. I am scared. But my only friend currently lives in a completely red state of Tennessee which has banned all protections for women and lgbt people. I am also on welfare and disabled and my CPTSD is on high right now. I am a bisexual woman who is non christian mostly an atheist. I grew up in Christian Nationalism, this is dangerous and I know it so my nervous system is so awful feeling right now.

Thank you Dade for your wisdom and guidance. I've always believed love is stronger than hate and you and the rest of us will prove that, We will never surrender to the darker forces. The light will shine and maybe in the darkness people will see...........lots of hugs and love...............Ray

Thank you for doing this video. I'm lucky that my close family doesn't support him, so I don't have to deal with that factor. I also keep my circle small. Though I live in the Midwest so it's not the safest place in the midst of all this. I've seen people that are scared about this and have heard how they feel. I cried a few times myself already because I know what can be done right off and what will take time (perhaps too much time to complete in 4 years) because of safeguards in place in the system. I don't understand the hate because I don't share it. Anger is another story, I've known that well because of what he cost us the first time around. And I have some thoughts I don't share outloud because putting bad out there right now isn't going to make this better for anyone. I'm in that category of not being able to afford to leave. I won't leave my family. Though I know of countries where the level of education and training in my field would be entirely welcomed in a way it isn't here. So I don't want to leave but I won't let my family live in fear when there are other options that still allow me to help. So I'd look for a place me and my family were welcome. Universal healthcare would be a must. The hangup I have is for me the people that voted for this man, I'll never be able to trust them again. It was like saying to my face that my life doesn't matter, my health doesn't matter, and my family doesn't matter to them. If all that is true then even when they realize what they've done (assuming they ever do) I'm not going to help them even if I can because I have to choose where to divert resources and it's like triage. The people hurt the most will be those they did this to. Thank you for what you've said. It's good to downsize even if I'm not going anywhere because the only clutter I need is books.

Russia won the Cold War. Everyone underestimated Putin. A generation of young men poisoned by the ex KGB agent via social media and the modern media landscape. When the dust settles we'll have to rebuild our democracy from the ground up. This time with some goddamn guardrails that can't be overcome so easy. We're just going to have to learn from this and rebuild when the time comes. The real patriots among us that are left will have to do this. Patriots being of the genuine variety that actually give a fuck about the Constitution that is. Not these fake ones who have cloaked themselves in the flag, the military, and the church.

Welcome to European Union! ❤

Well, if you don't have money, you're not an expat, you're an immigrant...

I am trying for cautious optimism. I hope for the best but my husband and I are working on an exit plan in case we need to leave.

It’s really weird to me that so many trans people voted for Trump to. Leaving will be a struggle to. Many countries are going anti trans or anti lgbt in general across the western world.

the world and the US is experiencing a raging mental health crisis and its pretty obvious if you step back and watch it unfold. People are upset, inflamed, experiencing rageful states and hateful states. People are misinformed and see the future of this country held in the hands of a narcissist dictator and feel that that's a perfectly fine way to live. So many people are making decisions based off of their anxieties. The country deserves better

Hell yeah I'm worried, I'm an openly gay man, and a double diabetic, I don't scare easy ,but I'm scared!

Thank you for being an inspiration to this 22yo trans woman. These are some safe English speaking countries for your family to travel in the worst case scenario. I have a boyfriend in Australia & have been there several times, it’s a lovely place, but Canada is closer of course: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Denmark, Germany, etc.

💔 over the results. My nephew and I have a plan to flee. If he doesn’t feel safe as an LGBTQ+ we will flee. If I lose my health insurance, we flee. I truly hope the LGBTQ+ community stays safe. My nephew has no contact with his ignorant mom (my sister), she voted for the vile person. She’s truly ignorant. This is why I feel strongly I must have his back. He’s loved for who he is, he’s accepted. He’s a young adult but I will support him in any way I can. I hope everyone has a backup plan. I hope everyone has support. 💙💙💙 from an ally.

Great video ❤this really helped empower me today!!!!

When people from other countries don’t feel safe or happy in their country, and want to immigrate, they’re told to stay where they are and fight to improve their own country. The ones who actually did move to the U.S. will soon be deported, and rightly so. Based on that, why not stay in your country and fight to make it better?

Thank you. I needed this. I’m so scared. And sad. And mad. And disappointed. And sick. But we need to plan. This is definitely a great start.

Ya alright. I like you. Maybe you should have been the next prez! I vote for Electric Dade💜

I’m from Aotearoa New Zealand and was devastated by your election results. Living here it’s very hard to imagine people would vote for someone like Trump, especially women. Although we have a right wing government at the moment it’s kept at bay and hold accountable and to be honest what we consider right wing here is probably for the most part comparable to the Democrats in the US. LGBT community is very safe and protected and represented in the government. Very easy to get HRT treatment, change documents etc. Also, arguably one of the best countries to raise kids in and very welcoming to immigrants. Come over guys if it gets worse.

I'm in Melbourne, Australia. I'm an Aussie, but have family in America. I thank you, Dade, for these sublime words of calm. 💙💙💙

Trump will restore this country to what is should be. You should be so happy it didn’t go the other way. Stop watching MSM.

Let's just say since Trump won I am going to do my absolute damnest to get my legal name, birth certificate, passport, etc. done. I held back on it for allot of reasons but I gotta make this change now. And yes I know it cost money. I'm gonna do it though.

For anyone on here who wants to learn some things about how to plan a move out of the US, I gave a conference talk in 2022 specifically so that it would be online for times like this. There's a lot of info about work permits and other things here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHKcqKJqaJKfp5Isi=4Gmgpwifp-iSTP_B

You directed me here, so I came. I did not make my decision lightly and have followed both candidates since Kamala announced she would be running, Trump for longer. Project 2025 is a flat out farce and there has not only been zero evidence to support Trump had anything to do with it, he has flat out stated every time he's asked about it that he had nothing to do with it. I was furious when I read the bullet points of project 2025. Kamala also stated that she was in agreement with Trump on transgender rights to be able to transition if it was medically necessary. Meaning, there would need to be steps taken to ensure the mental well being of those transitioning. There are too many lies being spread by both parties. That has been the case since the beginning of democracy. Lies, exaggerations of truth, etc. Trump has plans to help restore peace, improve the economy, and secure our country. I got promotion and it immediately meant nothing with the horrible inflation during the Biden/Harris administration. I am poor, and tired, and work hard. I served my country and truly want what's best for it. We need to first unite again, fix what's broken, so we can enjoy the freedoms that come with being an American. The rest doesn't matter if we can't even afford to be alive anymore. I have facts for days for anyone interested in a civil discussion. I'm trans, and I voted for Trump. I don't have a supportive family. I'm in this all by myself, but I'm not scared of him. I think he can turn this hot mess around. He's already overturning his abortion ban, he can evolve too. Let's see what he does. I'm happy to eat my words if I'm wrong. Edit: Don't be afraid, people. Do not let the fear driven by the media and false propaganda ruin the joys and beauty of this country. Securing the border doesn't make him a racist, he is very smart and has some brilliant friends interested in helping him leave this country in a better place than he found it. Elon Musk for starters. The man is known for his efforts of sustainable energy and green efforts, reducing waste, resulting in a smaller carbon footprint.

Thank you!!!!

Thank you for this. 💚 Brings a sense of calm and definitely makes me feel alot less cornered in the situation that is going on in this country.

I'm from Brazil, and I'm also devastated by Trump's win. Sending love to all of you! ❤

even your dog ran away this video was so bad.

I love you and thank you, as always, for your posting, Dade!! I am terrified, grief-stricken, and lost. We all must hold together. We are stronger than those others. We will be allies and we will see an end to this god-awful time.

Come to Canada...you'd be safe here. ❤ As a Canadian...I truly don't understand. 😥 I've seen a lot of Americans tell others to butt out because we're not American, and this doesn't affect us... But it *DOES.* One million percent, it does. It affects the entire world. And not in a good way. 😢

The problem is, it's not hard to leave the country, but it is hard or impossible to stay somewhere outside the US.

If you are able to answer this, I'd appreciate it. You talked about getting your documents together. I tried for 8 years to get my birth certificate corrected and failed. My governor took care of that and even though all other paperwork is correct, would that hinder me from being able to leave?

Dade, I admire your strength and clear thinking, ...and it's good to see you again. Hang in there Brother!

I am trans and not ashamed to say I voted for Trump. There are some absolutely critical items that have been slept on for the past four years and hearing Kamala say she wouldn't change a thing worried me more than anything else. Having a safe country is very important and something every nation takes seriously yet it is viewed as "racist" if the US does it. Legal immigration is very much welcomed and something Trump places emphasis on. I know I'll get hate but that's okay. You'll be hating me safely :)

Wonderful rational, grounding advice. Great to see your face Dade!
