Should I just give up on this country and move to Canada?

It's obvious that hate is winning in this country now. A group of nine unelected people plan to take away all the freedoms that have been granted over the last 40 years. Should I just say screw it, and assume America is a lost cause?

If this latest draconian fiasco what the only problem I would scream "Save your nation" and man the Barracades. But sadly its only a small symptom of whats going on. Democracy is being filed down so that only the "right people" get to vote. Justice is being pared back so only the rich can afford it. Dont even consider trying for good health care or a decent education unless you have the right insurance cover and live in the right area. Of course, god will protect you, as long as you pay and dont expect any actual help. And dont expect regulatory authorities to keep your water clean, your air fresh or your food healthy or clean. They arent funded to actually do those things. But the good news is maybe you live in an place where the police will show up if you have to call 911.
And hanging over all this, lets remember that the $30 plus Trillion America owes the world for everything from oil to auto components and flat screen TVs is still rising as is inflation now. And sooner or later those people are going to want their money. If not from you today, then from your children.
Some of these problems exist in other places. And sure there are worse places to live. Places were you can get shot at way more regularly than in America. But with this future, looked at in its entirety, Is America really salvagable by someone who is just struggling to break even like you?😷
