If Baker wins, should I leave Mass.? [View all]

[Ampersand Unicode]

I'm actually scared -- as in can't-sleep-tonight-Halloween-came-five-days-late scared -- of the GOP fascists taking over the Kennedy state. I voted for Coakley but am not optimistic because of all the endorsements Baker has gotten and the past history of electing GOP governors (Romney, Weld).

I'm also looking to leave because MA just voted to keep the filthy casinos. Also, there is a gun store that just popped up out of nowhere down the street from my house on a main street. I no longer feel safe in my neighborhood or my state. Should I find a way to move to Vermont where Bernie and the sane people live?

Or if I can't afford to leave, should I just do myself in? I honestly am terrified that we're living in the decline of the Weimar Republic and the rise of the Reich. If 2014 is any indication of 2016, we can look forward (or in this case, backward) to having Herr Jeb ru(i)n all our lives being a rubber-stamp for the wingnuts in both houses of Congress.

I obviously can't leave for another country. What should I do if I don't want to live under fascism anymore?
