all of the life you built being here in the US I think he is in a far better country right now in Canada. I think he may want to consider that and think about moving his family to Canada as well. America as we all had become accustomed is gone and because of the extreme gerrymandering, propaganda media, voter suppression, wealth inequality, dark money groups, rigged Supreme Court, military in the streets, arrests for political views, constant attacks on people of lower means etc. the idea that we can rapidly turn it back around is not likely.

We may win Congress in the mid-terms but there is every likelihood that the GQP will be obstructionist to rolling back anything that has been done, preventing further damage or having effective oversight and accountability. I'm not saying we give up but I am saying that given the situation this man should know it is unlikely he is coming back for many years and his presence in the life of his family and being together is the highest priority. The children face a declining educational environment here in the US and an increasingly propagandizing media brainwashing the public rather than supporting critical thinking and independence.
