so you’re suggesting that people stop fighting for democracy in the U.S. and move to an authoritarian regime ON PURPOSE? dumbest thing i’ve ever heard. and anyone who bails on america to live in turkey or albania deserves what they get.

You’re overreacting. READ the article. It’s not political. It gives people options to take a break. It could be a break from anything: Job, Health, a Divorce, etc. Respect for others opinions and choices (whether you agree or not) is democracy.

It may be hard to believe but there’s an ENTIRE world with non-American people outside of the US; there are 7.8 billion of us. This never claimed to be *for* Americans.

The U.S. has never been a democracy. Only the pretense of one that worked for most but not all white people.
